Black squirrel that has been hanging out on my patio all summer. Very skittish, but I was finally able to snap a decent pick because she was more interested in eating the yew berries than what I was doing.

Wonder if Jeff Ross did his new Broadway hit "Don't Fuck With The Jews" at this festival? (And no, I'm not kidding, that was an actual song he wrote for his Broadway run.)

I hate that Dolly had to do a proof of life video, but I'm also so glad she did. I can't take losing Dolly. I don't think any of us can.

Ooof. So sorry to hear that. I'm on the backside of a very long degenerative issue, but still able to get around. I'm not far from being housebound I fear. My best to you. I hope you can find some relief.

I feel ya. Back pain sufferer since my teens. Last 5 years it's been nearly unmanageable. Tired of gutting it out or scheduling down days to take heavy meds. Dealing with insurance for back pain is almost as bad as the back pain itself.

We used to roam my neighborhood with baggies of sugar & poach rhubarb stalks from the neighbors then eat them under a tree in the local park. Delicious!

Oooohhh, I miss being able to eat those delicious little bastards. Would dip them in French's Yellow Mustard. Alas, my stomach revolt mighty to them now. But God damn I loved them for many years!

@stage32.bsky.social Your organization started bombarding me with email last week. At least 8-10 per day, every day. I've tried to unsubscribe (no way to do so), deleted my acct, been through rounds of email w/customer service & STILL getting slammed. I'm tired of it, TELL ME HOW TO FIX IT.

Holy. Shit. Man, we are in one fucked up timeline.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.
