Bff's elder kitty never approaches her unless she's asleep, when he does secret sniffies of her paws & snoot, but today Harry appears to just be judging the heck out of napping Xena.

Bff & I were talking about places I'd ideally like to go to grad school, mostly New England. And that's how I found out she thought Rhode Island is an actual island. Which made me realize WHY HAVE I NEVER WONDERED ABOUT THIS?! I found the answer but I'm bothered that I never noticed this.

Granted it's 4am but I have no idea to what shooting he's referring? I officially can't keep track of mass casualty events. Halp.
Is there any precedent in modern history for a mass shooting occurring in a public setting with 10+ casualties and the perpetrator not being apprehended? It's really hard to fathom.

Crockett: As he stood up today in front of the American people, he sounded like a used car salesman. Like, let me just shout it out. Buy what I'm selling. Yes. This is a lemon. Yes. He is selling nothing but lemons

Bff is at the pain doctor & then going to the drugstore (if you have to take pills daily to stay alive, you know how horribly this can go), this is my only cheer up move (though I will also be offering her Mac & cheese upon arriving home). We're both very good wives, but now we get appreciation!

Every time bff has to leave the house without her pup, he stands guard as long as he can, it is the cutest thing on earth.

One of my favorite things about bff is how unbelievably gangster she is in how she deals w/her ex. Occasionally I'll ask "oh shit I bet he's mad we put up decorations out front!" (He lives in the same small town we do & hates joy) & she always is surprised bc she just...doesn't think of him.

My American hometown back on the west coast is flooding like crazy, & a levee nearby just failed. I wish I was there with my old friends, helping. I worry for them.
We have a massive elk herd in the valley, here they are swimming on the middle school playfield. It's so bad.

One of the really fun features of living with bff, who is 13 years older than me, is she is down to learn all the Gen X stupid shit & we end up laughing our asses off. Yesterday she made the mistake of saying "ok, here's the situation." Yes I did the whole thing, she's a bloody saint.

If you’re telling Head Start programs they can’t say “disability”, “Black”, “female”, or “Tribal” in order to get funded—you don’t care about kids. Period.
This administration is attacking the very protections that keep children safe and supported. Our kids are not political props.

Rob Reiner was more than an amazing movie director to me.
He was one of our strongest public advocates for @TheDemCoalition, part of our Impeachment Task Force.
He was one of America's foremost voices of reason and wisest defenders of democracy.
Rob is an American treasure.

I keep getting spasms in my feet, they literally look deformed when it happens, my toes contort into crazy angles.
Just took a fuck ton of muscle relaxants, hope to god it works bc I don't have insurance until 1/13 (when I can enroll through school. I think).

Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.
His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.
