Cancer free! (Rick is from very local to me and has been outspoken here. I've come to love him in the last 2 years after previously not knowing who he was.)

Thread:

A year ago yesterday was a very happy day for me. I had lost my prostate. It was good riddance, as it was riddled with cancer. I’m now cancer-free — and thankful for the tax-funded technology that saved my life.

Now that I've learned more, I agree. I just trusted their decision making at first.

Oh I love a Friday when a customer calls in and complains about me as a way to get a discount.

I do shit that should be complained about sometimes, yes. This was not one of those times.

Making the shopping list and ordering groceries.

Are you sure they found it creepy? Eye contact is just part of the way humans operate, and doesn't need to be creepy unless explicitly so.

Someone I know called eye contact "touching with the eyes" and I no longer am able.

It seems like the US just effectively cancelled everyone’s passports who has an X gender marker on them (unless I’m reading this wrong).

Zuri had to wear her raincoat for walkies this morning

A ridiculous looking large fluffy white dog wearing a bright light blue and teal doggy raincoat. She looking straight up at me even though she is standing because she’s a delightful weirdo

Not really. This is a US air base that will host a facility where Qatari pilots are trained to fly F-15. The US also trains pilots from Singapore there www.spokesman.com/stories/2022...

The Portland frogs are multiplying. I’m watching the livestream at katu.com/watch

Three green froggies and a skeleton frog! These are inflatable costumes and some of the frogs have little capes. They’re protesting on the other side of the street from ICE.

Maybe the vet has an injectable version? I have done so many injections...I would be glad to walk you through that. My cat is generally pill friendly except Benadryl which I cannot get into her, so i understand.

I bought books for this baby in the airport in Anchorage on my way home from Iditarod. I lost my luggage but kept those, and sent them off to her.

And now she's a person. A fucking whole person. That feels like magic.

May Libby Riddles cat book comfort you.

I continually root for Chef Jose Andres to get this award AND remain humbled that there are people out there doing more award worthy work.

Congrats.
