She is literally a private citizen. Doing this does nothing for the people in Gaza.

Imagine there’s a fire in Chicago, and people are outside a firehouse in Gary, Indiana yelling at the firefighters about why they aren’t doing anything about it.

I love the city when there are special events that block off the streets to traffic. It’s so quiet and everybody’s on foot or biking.

Ooh, something hot would really hit the spot.

Great. They’ll be bombing cities soon, I guess.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

I put away the fox and was going to make myself a cocktail, but I don’t have grenadine. So guess who made some?

Sigh.

Happy Saturday night! 😘

What is so wrong about riding bikes and communing with the people in your community though? Do they not think about what they’re saying?

(I already know the answer, but it’s still stupid of them and they cling too tightly to their opinions to realize it).

I am at the point in this fox portrait where I feel like I should be done, according to the work I’ve put into it, but also, it still has a lot of work before it is done.

So if you need me, you don’t. But also, check on me, bring snacks and beverages.

Thanks.

About 80,000 Mississippian women get support from WIC.

Cassandra Welchlin emphasized that these women aren't just numbers on a spreadsheet—they're regular people who are struggling to make ends meet and need critical assistance from the government.

“WIC is not a luxury—it’s a lifeline,” she said.

and telling him that it would break her father's heart (the man who raised her), and she doesn't know if her birth parents even want to get to know her, etc. Which, I get it, it's a reaction--dramatic as it is--but shouldn't she have thought about that before she took the test and made the wish?

The woman in this movie made a magical Christmas wish to know who she really is (she is adopted). And of course, she finds out, her grandfather found her and entered her into a cooking competition. She got her DNA results and conformed the old man. Like, she asked for this, now she's all angry

Every nap you threw a tantrum to get out of taking is a nap you’ll never get to take as an adult.

And then you’ll have insomnia and crave a nap, but, nope. Gotta stay awake and work and then go make dinner, do laundry, chores, walk the dog.

“But I don't WANNA take a nap!” the five-year-old screams.

I kneel down and stare her dead in the eyes. “You will, kid. Some day. When it's not even an option anymore.”
