狗狗永远是我们最忠实的家人💖~这位男子被闯入者打晕,幸好家里有两个他收留的流浪狗狗保护了他💖
Today’s cuppas: Ghoulish Delight (a chocolatey-toffee vibe with a black/rooibos/pu’er blend as the base) and a Chinese Healthy Lung TCM brew (fruit and flower tea, mildly sweet, with astragalus and pangdahai to help you stay healthy this season) 🫖
lol I’m so glad you actually have cats!
Ermagerd for real!

You busy tonight? Come by for mahjong :)
Excited about the mahjong meetup tonight - betting with candy is more fun than you might realize 😉

As always this workshop is beginner friendly and FREE - 5:30pm every Wednesday 🀄️
PS also I realized that there’s a random brown thing that I thought was a cat so there’s that haha
True.

But like, don’t they feel it at the grocery store?!
I love this kitchen so much! The fridge the cat the walls the whole vibe!
How is it only 61%?!?!
Trump: “my numbers are up”

Reality:
I hope that your day went well, too, despite it being a Monday and all ;)
Spent some time in the woods today, many thoughts but they’re still too jumbled to share. A bit like all the leaves flittering down across the path, beautiful and perfect for a moment, and then an impossible puzzle of discarded memories coloring the forest floor.
Age 45 - no filter

Life is such a strange and crazy loop. How did I end up here? Thank goodness for all of the amazing people I have had the good fortune to have join me for portions of this journey.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

dickerson is one of the best broadcast journalists in the game, and someone who would clearly be a real asset to a new leader interested in strengthening the network's journalism. but, of course, we know weiss isn't actually interested in journalism as such.

The president becoming a crypto billionaire and pardoning convicted criminals who introduced his family to crypto is the sort of thing that people used to associate with “corrupt” dictatorships and now it’s not even the scandal of the week.
We have a biiiig weekend of events: tonight we have Jeff Boog playing from 5:30 on (free!) and tomorrow night the lovely Ally Fies will be bringing joy to your Sat evening with her folksy tunes (also free!) and then we have our Bewitched Tea Party on Sunday evening (only a few tickets left!) 🧙‍♀️
Enjoying the quiet before the storm with a pot of pu’er and an acheta protein bar (just discovered the blueberry flavor, yum!) 😋
