I keep checking the 10-day forecast. No end to the heat in sight. 🥵
I was hoping the rain yesterday would bring some relief but no dice. Yesterday evening was over 90° with 80% humidity.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?

I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

“So mad that we’re going to war without the consent of congress!” WHAT. THE. FUCK. No! Be mad about being dragged into yet another senseless war. FULL STOP!

For the record, I’m against any and all war. Forever and ever.

I am begging people to realize you can care about multiple things and believe in the liberation of multiple groups of people at the same time.

Being for liberation for all isn't contradictory. It's intersectional.

Kevin has reached the “I’ll poop in the middle of the patio” level of hating grass 😂

“Bring this same energy to the midterms.” I fucking beg you not to wait until the midterms to continue engaging in democracy and voicing your dissent.

This is horrifying. It’s going to be a long day today. Everyone stay safe.
A man impersonating a police officer assassinated a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz said on Saturday, and killed the lawmaker’s husband. The assailant also shot and injured another Democratic lawmaker and his wife, officials said. nyti.ms/4jRTrvw

Kevin put himself in timeout in the cubby hole last night for absolutely no reason. And it was adorable.

Everyone keeps talking about how Noem and Hegseth (and others) aren’t qualified for their positions. And…that’s the point. They weren’t appointed because of their qualifications. These people are willing to do anything Tr*mp and Project 2025 require. They are willing to lie and kill.
June 13, 2025 at 1:02 PM
That’ll get ‘em. 🫠
Why are Dems insisting on following the letter. These people aren’t doing whatever they want. The law doesn’t apply to them. They don’t care and they’ve gone mask off at this point.
House Dems are demanding that Noem testify before Congress after Sen. Padilla was detained by federal agents at her DHS press conference in LA.

Y’all, please don’t register for protests.

“Women are too hysterical to be president or lead in any capacity” but as soon as Tr*mp and El*n go at each other publicly the left is all jokes: “The girls are fighting.” Just admit you’re all misogynists and move on. Stop punching down.

It’s about to storm (maybe?!) but here’s some progress anyway. Painted and ready for some fresh shellac. I’m working on the doors and wallpaper next week.

It finally happened. I got the call today that Kevin finally caught a squirrel. What a momentous occasion, 11 years in the making!

So much to do today but what I really want to do is crawl into this cup of coffee and be warm. And rest.

The last of the white paint is finally disappearing. I need to order some curtain rods and figure out what I’m going to do for curtains in this space. Also, that bejeweled light fixture needs to go. The punch list is getting shorter on this impulse Project House!

I ordered two litter pans and some litter today. I love that Birdie is basically outdoor potty trained but I want to avoid any potential indoor accidents. Maybe one day I can get her to stay inside forever but for now her transition from feral to house cat is progressing well.
