There is this guy on YouTube who mows lawns for a living and it’s strangely mesmerising to watch. But also, jeebus America, is grass really the only thing you can think of to have around the house? 🤨

We should never have left the 1990s. It was good there, why did we move away?

The more an app is bugging me to update, the more I am tempted to remove it all together. And Skeets / @skeetsapp.com is bugging me to an insane extend. Sending me a “update now” pop-up every 5 minutes is ridiculous, I’ll update, when I get to it, I have auto update off for a reason. 🤬#Fail

I heard Donald Trump once again has
expressed his very flattering opinions on my
character, and I appreciate his concerns for
my mental health.
To Trump: I would kindly receive any
recommendations you might have to deal with
these so called "anger management problems"
since - judging by your impressive track record
- you seem to be suffering from them too.

If we exclude anyone with an IQ lower than body temperature from voting, he’d have 5% of those votes left.

Far right extremist Wilders is set to win the Dutch election -again-, despite his repeated failing to make any sense in government. Almost 90% (!!) of his voters say that a stable government is not their concern and they “just want someone that speaks for them”. HOW FUCKING STUPID CAN YOU GET??!!

I know it depends on many factors, but it angers me, I would not comply and I have a hard time understanding why others do. Of course I know it’s a personality thing, I would never join the army or become a cop, I would never carry a gun, ever. But the thought of ”just say no” is what angers me.

And when I do get up, he waits for me to return. 😻

My all black cat Tibbles, lying on my leather lazy chair.

The #Tibbles had been super sweet though, he knows it when his human isn’t well. 😻 #BlackCatsRule

So I only did my 2 deliveries at work this morning and then went home after calling in sick. Been hanging on my lazy chair watching TV and being immobilised by a #CatOnMyLap situation. Head ache just refuses to budge and I am hungry but have zero appetite to eat anything. Man flu sucks.

I really, really, hope that at least all the “officers” involved in those inhuman acts are being noted and recorded, so that they can be held responsible when the time comes.

“Obeying orders” is not a free pass to commit crime, certainly not crimes against humanity.

Next to the complicity towards the Gaza situation, there are 2 other things that I see pass by that anger me to the bone, and I have a hard time understanding how people are letting it happen. It’s ICE in the US and the non stop arrests of peaceful protesters in the UK.
