My body is not a temple. It is, at best, Nakatomi Plaza on Christmas Eve in 1988.

I decided early in life that I could let trauma make me a piece of shit or I could go another route. People think I have ulterior motives when I’m nice to them. I don’t know how else to explain when Mister Rogers said “look for the helpers”, I realized I needed to become one.

I am so going to have to try this.
I’m in England, in a field of Barley. Today, I’m going to collect wild yeast under that tree back there, and I’m going to show how to feed and grow it until it’s ready to bake with. We are going to start at the very beginning, and end at the end.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Marshall informs me that the heat mat and grow light setup is doing its job very well. She also notes that I do not need to start any seeds that might need that heat mat, as it is HER HEAT MAT NOW, and what's more important? Warm Cat or tomato seedlings? Is that even a question? #cats #catsofbluesky

Boots is the poster child for "starving cat". So pitiful. He is so faint from hunger that he barely has the strength even to lie in front of the door in the faint hope of catching a mouse just to put something in his empty belly. Boots says he hasn't been fed in his ENTIRE LIFE. #cats #catsofbluesky

Bezos destroying the post opinion pages is just another reminder: Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

Because I always love a "how spicy was that hot pepper or that spicy meal" story. (And you definitely also want to read all the comments). 😁🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️😅😂
the Chinese restaurant I eat at semi often has updated its menu and now lists the dish I always have as "hot" which I thought was about them warning puny white customers, as opposed to actually changing the recipe, and let me tell you
oh no
oh no

Uh-oh. Boots has discovered and claimed as his very own The Most Glorious and Beloved Ramen Cat Bed with Heating Pad. This is not going over well with Marshall, the former OWNER and resident of the Ramen Cat Bed. #cats #catsofbluesky

Technically, yes, I have studied and do understand the fundamentals of anatomy. But I can still avoid it. 😁

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.
