Socks, a big black & white tuxedo cat, sits on a windowsill and looks at the camera. In the snowy bush outside, through the screen, there’s a red cardinal.

I heard a strange little sound and it’s Socks up on his favorite windowsill, making squeaky noises while watching a beautiful red cardinal in the bushes outside. #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

Having a landline & living in NH, we get lots of polling calls. Tonight it was mostly about our senate race, but she asked me what I thought our country’s biggest problems were. I had a few ideas. 😈 I could hear her fingernails clickety-clacking on the keys, trying to keep up.

Excellent photos in the QPs, unfortunately many lack alt text. You’ll see how it adds value where it is included.

Alt text: a middle-aged white man dressed in black, it’s Glenn Danzig of Misfits & Danzig, walking across a parking lot holding plastic grocery bags & a box of Fresh Step kitty litter.

Thank you to everyone who called or emailed. Even when you think it's only a drop in the bucket it matters. Sonny Burton has been granted clemency, he will not be gassed to death in Alabama today.

Indeed! Especially when you have relatives coming right out and saying it plainly. 😠

I want to underscore how INCREDIBLY racist “we went too far”/“racism is over” takes are.

The quiet part of that statement is: current racialized disparities represent the natural distribution of opportunities, talent, and resources between racial groups.

It is white supremacist, bell curve shit

That’s really awful, I’m so sorry you’re missing out.

The thing about Target is I’ve already got used to not going and it was entirely too easy to simply not spend money there 🤷🏽 you’re dead to me, sweets. Already done had the fune and everything.

GOP lawmaker again pushes for 'final solution' against Jewish colleague: 'I wasn't joking' A New Hampshire Republican state representative from Hillsborough is refusing to apologize after using the term "Final Solution" to disparage an event being put on by a Jewish colleague.The lawmaker, ...

Some words and phrases have multiple meanings. Some very much DON'T. This? Don't.

Brilliantly written. Fight not out of hope, if there is any, but out of refusal to surrender.

Beyond devastating. I read each name very carefully and hold that individual in my heart for a moment, trying to honor their life. And then think about how many more… 😔

Fwiw I have had gyn surgical procedures without anesthesia or pain relief, and more than once I fainted. I think my most viral tweet on the old site was related to that. It is barbaric.

No, I was fortunate to have it done at the hospital’s same-day surgery center under general anesthesia. I had some discomfort afterwards.
I wouldn’t want to go through it awake, I’m so sorry for those who do.

I think I’ve seen that one irl here in NH! 🤢 it’s so bad.

I keep resharing info about LaFlamme and the people mad about Platner‘s candidacy keep not sharing it and I don’t really get why you wouldn’t

They get mad when people on SNAP want to buy soda

Happy birthday! I hope it was a good one!

Moment of silence.

Ooh, good luck making that happen. 🤞

As someone who has survived multiple jaw bone infections and needed several endodontic treatments for tooth infections, let me tell you that this man died in one of the most painful ways possible

They tortured him. An untreated tooth infection is torture.

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“

A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

Tried to place an order yesterday for some skincare & cosmetics, but it was a scam website and now the card has to be blocked. They tried a $0 transaction inquiry so they didn’t get any money.

It’s a pain to replace the card, but I am more annoyed that I won’t get the cool items I picked out. 😡

It is so important to find a good comfort watch or three!

When Mom’s agitated, I need ways to distract & redirect her. I remembered that she ~loves~ plastic surgery & before/after TV shows, so I found one called “Skin Decision” and she calmed down right away. There’s a woman getting a facelift, and a teen getting his acne treated. She’s so happy. 😁

🙃 I printed up a couple of “do not enter, zoom in progress” full color sheets which I put on the door leading out to where I prefer to have zooms. One of the sheets was actually draped over the doorknob. Did not stop my Mom. (Only the stairs can stop her…)
