It's been difficult to be on social media.
Watching Nazis come out of hiding one by one and turn against their friends and neighbors is the most disheartening thing.
I really thought there were fewer. I freely admit I was ignorant to how much hatred festered in Americans. I thought we were better.

My biggest brag in life was that I met Jane Goodall when I was 10.
She has always been such a huge inspiration to me, a wonderful, gracious, passionate, and compassionate human being.
The world is darker without her fire.

RIP Ms Goodall.

I agree. Guns are bad for mental health.

How many times do we need to scream IT'S THE GUNS & plead for gun control to have school shootings ignored & (red) politically related gun violence blamed on us without ANY cognizance that if they had listened to us long ago we wouldn't continuously be having these incidents?

Rhetorical question.

🇨🇦Rebecca🇺🇸🆘 @manicopossum.bsky.social · Sep 24

If it helps, I'm leaning more towards it just didn't happen at all. 🤷‍♀️

Hear me out - What if the rapture actually did happen but nobody realized it because it only applied to the two Xtians who WEREN'T assholes??

BTW, I'm bummed too. I was really rooting for you guys.

Sigh.

I hear the rapture is happening in a few days...

Space Aliens: if you are still in need of human subjects, now would be a great time to have at it without arousing suspicion. Just saying.

Every single person who gives in is WHY we are here. If you had the balls to stand your ground, he would lose power. Instead, it's going to snowball.

NOW is when values and convictions matter. Not when things are fine, but when they are hard or even scary to hold to. THIS IS THE TIME.

Cowards.

I know. I just miss his hugs. They say dogs don't like hugs but he reeeeaaaallly liked hugs. He loved them. He would come up to you for one. He also loved Bob Ross. Loved him. Only dog I've had who watched TV. There will never be another one like him.

🇨🇦Rebecca🇺🇸🆘 @manicopossum.bsky.social · Sep 17

Thank you. It's the worst thing about dogs. We will miss him forever. 💔

Thank you. It's been a hard one.

I am so glad to know my tax dollars are going towards hanging posters of trump's face on government buildings and ICE robots that throw grenades.
So much more beneficial than putting them towards something completely absurd, like universal healthcare.

I didn't post when it happened because I just couldn't, but had to say goodbye to our biggest baby and dearest friend.
So many things going on personally and in the world it's sometimes impossible to know how to pick up and carry on.
Our house feels so empty without him.

I have a tendency to express my thoughts in ways that don't always come out right. 😂 Just wanted to be sure we were on the same page!

🇨🇦Rebecca🇺🇸🆘 @manicopossum.bsky.social · Sep 16

It's utterly surreal.

🇨🇦Rebecca🇺🇸🆘 @manicopossum.bsky.social · Sep 16

I think I worded it wrong. I was attempting to insinuate just that. We have been advocating for gun control for years. As in, if we had it our way this would likely not have happened. It's all so twisted.

Funny how the left was the side who was actually advocating for this... 🤔

🇨🇦Rebecca🇺🇸🆘 @manicopossum.bsky.social · Sep 14

Sometimes even I'm impressed with my ability to pretend I'm fine.

Do not let it escape you that they are waiting for an act that they can use as an excuse to justify violent attacks on the left.
It's only a matter of time before our own Reichstag fire.
