Today has been a STRUGGLE.

I've reached over to pet a cat that isn't there at least a dozen times while I work today.

An automatic gesture for mutual comfort. She used to lay right next to my work station for effortless ear scratches.

Hasn't even been 24 hours. I'm a fucking wreck without her.

Work can wait." Picture of the world's prettiest, sweetest, smartest, bestest good girl, ZeeZeeBear, a black cat with a freakishly long, lovely tail sitting next to her grandma who is knitting her a blanket on a brown leather sofa. She loved Gramma. Miss you baby girl. You were the bestest ever and my heart is irreparably broken with your loss.

Sunset from the other night. Had to travel for work and that was the view from the hotel.

The simple things. 💙

Happy birthday, Daddy.

I hope that you went to heaven & that it exists, like you prayed for. I hope you're no longer in pain.

We got the PACT Act passed but we're still fighting to get back what they took from us.

"Quit is not in my vocabulary."

Love you, wherever you are. Always will.

It's how I know you were real and so, so loved. Miss you, Dad."

From Reddit:
From democrats community on Reddit THE BIG BEAUTIFUL DELAY Why You're Not Feeling the Bill - Yet H.R.1 (The "Big Beautiful Bill") was designed to delay the damage until after the 2026 midterms. Here's what's coming... but not just yet: CUTS COMING AFTER THE ELECTION: X Medicaid work rules Dec. 2026 X Food aid restrictions Late 2026 X Clean energy credits end Mid to late 2026 X Student loan changes Gradually by 2026 X Affordable housing cuts Phased in post-2025 X Rural hospital funding declines Starts 2026 WHY IT'S DELAYED: Politicians want your vote before you feel the impact The harshest parts are hidden until after ballots are cast By then, it's harder to stop. STAY ALERT. SPREAD THE WORD, KNOW WHAT'S COMING Watch what's delayed - not just what's announced.

A photo of a white Dodge truck in a parking lot, driven by a decrepit old man wearing a faded old ball cap. He's on crutches. There is a bench strapped to the front of the truck bed. On the bench is a family of human skeleton replicas with a faded, beat up American flag laying between them; a blatant violation of the flag code. This douchecanoe likely claims to fully support the flag code & Constitution in the same breath that he as his devout support of ICE kidnapping and deporting people without due process or anything resembling adherence to the Constitution this man undoubtedly claims to love. The tail gate of the truck bed says: "Trump 2020" in DIY black vinyl letters.

Timeline cleanse.

Lil Buddy we met off-roading today. Gave him some water and some lounge time on an ice pack before he went back on his merry way.

Nice! Our Bronco is pretty much bone stock at the moment but it's my husband's daily driver. The trail truck has a 2" lift, rock sliders, rebuilt 4.6L V8, running Wildpeak AT tires. We've been trying to find some good bumper upgrades and need to get a 12K lb winch. It's a fun little shit!

A lil bit of light off-roading before we get smacked by some fun storms.
Green terraced fields stretch to the muggy, hazy horizon and meet rolling forests in full summer foliage. An easy dirt track off to the right, rolling green fields to the left and to the horizon, and a storm brews in the distance with shafts of dark gray rain streaking the sky between shafts of sunlight.

It's dirty cuz I play with it 😉 Our little silver Bronco, Mithrandir the Grey Wanderer, sits on an easy dirt track off to the right, rolling green fields to the left and to the horizon, and a storm brews in the distance with shafts of dark gray rain streaking the sky between shafts of sunlight.

A double rainbow arcs over the trees amid growing thunderheads. A rainbow goes through an American flag waving in the winds as a storm brews behind. A double rainbow arcs over the trees amid growing thunderheads. Shelf cloud forming--look at that halo!

Omaha No Kings
People gathered in the shade under trees at the park for the No Kings protest. They're holding signs and USA flags decrying the current regime. A man in a baseball cap sits on the grass next to a sign with a flash attached. The sign reads "Kings here? No Tanks!" A woman holds a sign that says "No hate No fear Immigrants are welcome here" A blow up statue depicting Donald Trump as a white and gold "Angry Bird". A sign (not pictured) next to it read "Eggs are so expensive because all the chickens are in Congress"

I see LA fighting off insurrection and domestic terrorists from a Russian agent illegally installed in the Oval Office by a South African immigrant who may or may not be here illegally himself.
