You need people living in old houses to design products to be installed in houses. Pet gate not accounting for shoe molding and a doorway chin-up bar that doesn't come close to going over 1916 door molding. Sigh.

Got a FluentPet intro kit and set up a button to say "Outside". I had to put it up on the table because Marlo had to go outside three times in a row and expected a cookie on each return. The second two times there is no way she actually peed. Flew out, flew in

Share this or any other meme assigning responsibility to the GOP for being unwilling to allow Dem any input. Don't be fooled by the 90-day Clean Bill, it's just a stalling ploy by Johnson. Health Care shouldn't break the bank, but it's going to as it stands.

Jane Goodall's work insisting, with evidence from her brilliant and tenacious fieldwork, that we were not so separate from animals, and they were much more like us than the Eurocentric theorists asserted, was so important.

I am so sad to hear about Jane Goodall. RIP to a woman who inspired me with her passion, her kindness, her sense of wonder, and her hope.

Women, submit to your husband? Why is this being dredged up today from some dismal past era? Marriage should be partnerships of equals; each brings their own strengths but no one should be subservient to the other. Old fashioned stupid. Sheesh.

When discussing how to handle the unhoused and mentally ill populations, Brian Kilmeade of Fox & Friends recommended to “just kill them” using “involuntary lethal injection.”

This is how the Trump regime and its propagandists can normalize and bring about the mass murder of vulnerable populations.
