Imagine if Biden had just started giving illegal orders & commands after the Supreme Court gave Presidents immunity.

Imagine how fast MAGAts would have made laws to counter this.

But nope, had to play by the rule book they burned to ash ages ago.

A relaxing #LitRPG #audiobook that reminds me of #StardewValley with a little bit of Pokémon mixed in.

Btw, our level of cursing on this world lacks any imagination:

"Poseidon's salted taint!"

"What in Trident's throbbing conch am I going to do?"

New Fear Achieved:
🕷Arachnophobia🕸

Reached into my mailbox today & happened to see a brown recluse scuttle out of my mail, back into the mailbox.

Time to come up with a plan for grabbing future mail.

Gloves? Tongs? Shake it out every time? Stomp on it 1st?

Of my outdoor plants, this one is my pride & joy: hardy hibiscus or rose mallow.

It's a lil' sad that each face-sized flower only lasts a day. Thankfully, it is lush with blooms.

A hardy hibiscus plant, also known as rose mallow. It has deep purple leaves with pink flowers the size of a human head. Each little green bud will be a flower that opens for one day before closing and falling off.

First reaction: Dear gods!!! The plague, the #birdflu. Take everything down!!! Run from the bird zombies, RUN!!!!

Upon further research: #Cardinals are #molting & getting new feathers this time of year. Sometimes, they lose them all at once on their head. This is the horrifying result.
