Opinions my own.
Ex-pat Floridian. Newly minted Chicagoan.
Yes, I launched Artemis 1.
Well, helped launch it.
Once again we had a Lesbian IKEA date and successfully DID NOT buy a Blåhaj.

My special talent is that I can re-fold an IKEA blue bag back to original factory spec.

It's been a few days and I think I'm ready. Tho I've a cry coming.

Sadly, we had to let the Bowie the Dogg go last week. He had congestive heart failure and his suffering was too painful.

Our vet was compassionate and Bowie slipped away with his head in my lap.

Goodbye Bowie my bestest doggie.

This morning we witnessed an ICE action on our block.

This afternoon I saw this woman standing where it happened.

She was still there this evening.

I took her a bottle of water and asked her if she was standing vigil.

She looked at me with pain on her eyes and said "It's all I can do"

So i bought this super cool wok a few months ago. I'd always wanted one.

Haven't got it perfectly seasoned just yet but its getting there. Ive made some delish meals with it.

But here's the thing: it is big. The only place ive found to store it is in the oven.

Bowie had a Spa Day at his new daycare place.

Just a bath and a trim. Trying to let his coat grow out for the winter. Triming his snout makes him look years younger.

Not those little stubby things in the can?

So, @bowiethedogg.bsky.social is diabetic and needs to eat regularlarly to regulate his blood sugar.

Lately he gets emotional about breakfast. I offer 3 kinds food to choose from.

Often he reacts as if I offer something truly offensive and walks away.

Gonna change his name to Emo the Dogg

For context, the bats deterrent is for the VAB (Vehicle Assembly Building) at KSC (Kennedy Space Center). It is so big that bats tend to gather at the roof. Some have been found to Carey rabies.

Did you know Toto's deadname was Terry? She changed it to Toto after she became famous. Terry (on the left) was an accomplished actress with 23 film credits. She has her own IMDB page!

Bowie (on the right) says Cairn Terriers rock and Terry was Hot.

Discussing DC vs Marvel comics with @anneb tonight.

But i really wasn't into superheros as a kid. My strongest comic memory was Yellow Submarine. I read it over and over. I actually have 2 figurines from the movie.

I should get a copy. What do you think @docmidnight.bsky.social ?

Just thought I'd share this to show that trans folk can do anything.

This was taken in the lobby of the Launch Control Center (LCC) at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) as part an honor I recieved for my work on the Artemis 1 mission.

A very proud moment for me.

Bowie does pills great. I put some Kong treat on my finger with the pill and he laps it right up. His fav flavor is peanut butter.

Sneaky husband.

My Bowie is a sly fellow tho.

The library as it sits currently.

More in other places.

It's a rental.

Else I'd be using this to make the base and crown go away.

I hate base and crown molding...

Low blood sugar or hypoglycemic episodes are a fact of life for diabetics. Most folk carry sugar wafers to be ready.

The Vet recommended honey for Bowie. But he won't have it.

So I grabbed the next thing in the panrty that looked like to would work.

So now Bowie has a thing for Mrs Butterworth.
