“Ohhh, okay. That’s not a cow.”

Using this week to write my own 2025 proj, including min, ideal, and overachiever goals, deadlines, and budget. The orgs I’m going to support, how I’m going to care for myself, and docs and reminders to keep my family safe. Grateful for the 10 weeks before inauguration to get everything set up.

Welp. Time to go.
I'm mostly on Instagram (statler) and lurking on Threads, but also have Bluesky ( statler dot bsky dot social).
I miss Twitter, but it is what it is.

When your dog with IBD is on steroids for a flare, but it’s a holiday, so the only options are (1) leave her home and what happens happens, or (2) take her with you and hope she stays relatively chill around all the new people / potential friends. I’d say Honey did pretty well.

Moose is healing up after a scary accident at daycare last month, and he's especially enjoying lounging in the sun without a cone or a donut to interfere with his most majestic floppage. You almost wouldn't know anything had happened, but for the large shaved section on his chest and shoulder.

Few things make my eyes itch more than someone I live with uttering the words, "I think I have pink eye." 😱

The profile banner for this app is infuriating, but I finally finagled it. I didn't want to post without my profile being done. Why should that matter? I could not tell you. But enjoy a very young Moose defying gravity.

@TheGoldenRatio4 A thing that (I hope) might make you smile: some time ago, I told my now-husband about Vink and the moon. We tell each other “I love you” often, and one day he said it with a kind of extended high note on “you,” and the little angel Vink on my mental shoulder 1/2

Hi, friends. Today I want to remind you that:
1. The gender binary is garbage.
2. Sexual dimorphism in humans is haphazard at best.
3. Lots of women have neck/facial hair. There’s no shame in it, and they don’t owe it to anyone to remove it.
You do you out there, buds.

I’m honestly not sure which part of BALL Honey loves more: chasing the ball, or squeezing it like a stress ball before she drops it.

Nothing like getting ganged up on by TERFs to make your Tuesday night, right?
The fake concern “for the safety of the women!” is what kills me. Predators are gonna predate, rules be damned.
This isn’t about safety; it’s about control and power and maintaining the patriarchy.

Making the rare drive into the office this morning, listening to alt rock and holiday picks from Hayley and Zac of Paramore, and what do they play but “Dominick the Donkey.” Thought of @danueb and @nattobeanjean and holiday Quaraoke. HEE HAW HEE HAW.

Since apparently this kind of shit needs to be said in this day and age: I stand with my Jewish friends and family, and I condemn anti-semitism. Full stop.
And just in case this ALSO needs to be said: you do not gotta hand it to Hitler. Ever. For any reason. Literally none.
