It's freeing when you realize that Christianity is nothing more than Canaanite fanfiction.

Now, let's get religion out of our governments altogether so we can start improving this world and all those in it.

I don't shop at Target anymore, so I to go to Ulta Beauty for cosmetics (that I don't order).
It is an assault on the senses and the crappy music makes me homicidal.
The place is full of screaming, misbehaved kids.
I'm just gonna order everything from now on.
Scuse me, I need to blast metal.

Some people never stood in line at Bi-Lo for a concert ticket and it shows.

We had to cut down our apple tree. It was full of disease and pests which could infect our other trees.
I'm still sad though, and the area looks so bare.
Only buy trees from reputable nurseries. This was one we put in first from a local company. Everything we bought from them had major issues.

I bought a fresh birdseed block, cat meds, and cat food.
I'm currently sitting on my back porch enjoying a Bero Brewing nonalcoholic beer.
Later I'll have a bowl of golden soup and rewatch Andor.
I'd better slow down! 😂

I get distracted and irritated with too much stimuli.
I got a pair of Heavy's and, holy shit, they are a game changer.
And don't get me started on how good music sounds...totally worth the investment!

Today we played the game of "Did something die in the garden or is it a stinkhorn?"

Thankfully, stinkhorn.

Matt hasn't recovered from the maggot filled giant rat incident.

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

Me out loud - "I am Death. The harbinger of destruction. The ender of worlds!
And I need a smoothie and a nap."

This is why my neighbors don't talk to us.

Ventured out and got tacos at our favorite spot and puttered around an antique place.
Traffic was Atlanta horrible, and almost got in a wreck on the way home with a young girl who was on her phone (served into our lane).
I am now crashed on the couch from my outing. MCAS sucks.

I had to shave Mina's poopy butt. If I go missing, then you know her plot for my demise was successful.

Keeping up with the news makes you think that somewhere, locked in a room, there's an immortal and very much cursed Billy Joel chained to a computer, endlessly churning out a dot matrix printer paper tapestry of fresh WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE lyrics in some kind of Sisyphean punishment.

Hey @chuckwendig.bsky.social
Finally got a pic of the elusive white finch!
Just needed some seed and mealworms to entice it close enough to the window.
