God, is that you?! 🤣

(FYI, #DietCoke is one of my drugs, unfortunately. Fortunately, I am able to not have it in my home and be okay. This was not always the case.)

I made them a cardboard duplex so they would not fight over box territory, but then they do this. 🤪

I absolutely regret my vote for him. I would like to hear him explain his decisions in depth with a good interviewer, but I don't think that will happen. I wonder how much that stroke did him in, and if any medications he is on for his psych issues are playing a role.
John Fetterman has not been a well man for a lot longer than we ever suspected.

The Littles aren't so little anymore. Not so scaredy either.... Jax will now jump from the cage to my shoulder without permission.

I have blocked umpteen BlueSky bot or fake accounts posing as actual Leftists posting credible news. Why would a watchdog account's profile picture be of a beautiful woman in a luxury tourist destination? Don't follow, like, or absorb from unscrutinized sources! SCRUTINIZE!!!

I'm going to be spending more time at home this winter, and have been hitting thrifts to find home improvement and craft items to keep me occupied. Inspired by the #goth collection at Michaels, I am going to darken a traditional Christmas statue with punk and metal elements. Send any ideas my way!

Alpaca Festival! I had to get a pic with the Gothpaca, Prince of the Fifth Pasture of Hell. 🖤👑

We listened to a lecture on Alpaca care, did a tractor ride, and pet/fed whomever of the bunch would let us. We tried to be very respectful of the animals' space and needs.

THANK YOU, PA!!

A relief for November for sure, but the Republicans have shown that they are willing to make the most vulnerable suffer for their own egotistical purposes. I am going to continue to hoard food, chase deals, and do with less until I feel better about who is in charge of the nation.
BREAKING: Pennsylvania is now driving out November SNAP benefits.

After we won in court yesterday, we moved quickly to start getting benefits loaded on EBT cards and out the door — and we're working to get every Pennsylvanian currently waiting for federal food assistance benefits what they're owed.

#Thrift find of the year!! Times are hard, but not so hard that I won't plunk down $2 for a 41 year old, English figurine of two drunk snowmen making their way home. They join my Weird Winter Collection of strange #snowmen that come out in December.

After my back injury in July, I had to forgo basic care to my garden. Many annuals died, many perennials needed cut way back. Some plants, however, flourished- like the Ornamental Peppers! It was a great lesson in doing what you can when you can, and making the best out of what comes of it.

Found this sweater at #thrift recently. I immediately thought "He's gotta keep his pimp hand strong", but a normal person pointed out he is just waving. 🤣

I am happy to be wrong today- Dems did better locally than I thought! Very happy news indeed. :-)

We did some good here in PA tonight! Not much local red turned blue, but we did maintain decently. Hoping we can continue to influence positive change in our fellow Pennsylvanians over time.
Republicans and their billionaire donors thought they could buy the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

Pennsylvanians made it clear: Their state is not for sale. Congratulations @retainwecht.bsky.social @@retaindonohue.bsky.socialand @r@retaindougherty.bsky.social

Happy to vote today! Not happy waiting for results, so I will not be checking. I will hear the results as they come to me. I don't chase after things that could make me feel like shit.

Just don't ask about the sewing. 😑

A few of my people were supposed to get homemade gifts for Christmas..... THAT AIN'T HAPPENING. Better luck next year!!

I don't have a skeleton fetish, I simply have a strong.....

I rehomed a couple Anthuriums that were no longer thriving here, and made room for a type of plant that did before..... Crotons! Found two funky bois a couple weeks ago (Picasso and Banana types), and am on the lookout for other weirdos.

Good luck finding purely factual reporting anymore.

Critical thinking on everything! If that is exhausting, limit your exposure. It's smart self-care.

How I do things over here. LOL

IN MY KAFTAN ERA!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween! I attended the local Unitarian Universalist Church's party, and had a good time with loved ones while getting to meet lifelong congregants who were able to give me good insights into UU.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

A few people got this year's family card, thanks to Walgreens giving out freebies. Had to include an #OzzyOsbourne reference. RIP

I love this! Whatever your vibe and style, there is spooky stuff available for you nowadays.

The only thing I will pay a high full price for is my rats' food (about $4 lb) and my special walking shoes (Asics Cumulus/Nimbus $170 every two years or so) for my arthritis and foot issues. Don't come at me with this one.... I have actual receipts. LOL

Fun fact! I was terrified of this song and the movie when I was a kid. I still won't watch the movie, and the song makes me uncomfortable. LOL
☠️☠️☠️Alfalfa says I can't forget about Olivia. He will accept this as a substitute for his usual Xanadu. I guess it's a runner up for his Halloween song playlist.
