While I’m still grieving the loss of my wonderfully weird Mia, my heart is big enough to welcome another furry friend. Meet Pepe, Spanish rescue kitty and professional feline heart-throb, who will join our family mid November. ❤️

Stel je voor dat er mensen zijn die geen koemelk lusten, kunnen verdragen of gewoon niet willen drinken om melkkoeien leed te besparen. Wat een wereld! Ik ben ook koemelkdrinker, maar geef geen ene fok om wat anderen drinken. Probeer het ook eens. Het is helend!

“No, Trump and his people are not playing four-dimensional chess, the response goes – we are simply witnessing the consequences of allowing a deranged man into the highest office, backed by a coterie of dim and unqualified cronies.”

for anyone in the darkness

To a Life in Despair

Don't. Don't go to the bridge.
Don't wake in your coat in the morning light
and carry those stones into the river.
Don't find your father's pistol
in the attic, hidden in the family albums.
Don't. Don't pour the pills
into the whiskey, the walls dissolving
like your childhood. Don't, just don't choose
not to wake.

Stay. Just stay.
Tell yourself you'll do it tomorrow.
You can always walk alone into the darkness.
But not yet. Not yet. Not this soon.
I don't have a reason
to give you. All I have
is the morning, and the autumn wind,
and the child you once were
in the darkness, looking at the new moon
through the ruins, saying
save me, save me, save me,
and the moon looking back
with her vacant
face
saying I promise, I stone-
cold promise
that the face of utter
hopelessness
is the face of something just about to change.

We make light of terrible acts of cruelty when the only other option is to be terrified.

ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

At least Charlie Kirk died doing what he loved: spewing hate and trying to get other people killed.

Had to let this little stinker go today. 19 years old. Countless trees climbed and birds chased. Always hungry for more tuna. She was never the cuddly type until she was old. Happy to have known her and called her my friend. So long, Mia, and thanks for all the fish! ❤️
