Having the most disorienting day. Woke up at 8am but apparently immediately rolled over and went back to sleep until 1pm. Feel like I was kicked by an olympic soccer team all night or something.

Neighbor cat that likes pets hut doesn't seem to like being held decided to hop up on my chest and curl around my throat to sleep while I sat on a bench. We both fell asleep in the sun. Highly recommend it.

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

Raked some leaves while my child was swinging on his swingset and went around the corner to rake and like 10 mins later went back around the corner and he was shirtless with his pants inside out (so had also been pantless) and coat and shoes/socks on the ground. It was like 47⁰ out and rainy.

My type: someone supportive and warm who I can curl up and relax with. Wait, that's my bed.

Okay, if I found some injured dude a monster wanted I would just let him have the guy. Why waste the men and ammo for some rando?

did you know that most independent booksellers do not get healthcare through their jobs and navigate insurance markets on their own? do you know most independent booksellers don't make a lot of money?

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

this should not be controversial 🫠

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

Hello, my dears!
A Very Important Topic just now is #FoodInsecurity, and this is an issue worldwide. Governments seem in no great rush to do their jobs.

Once again, it comes down to the individual.

Could you please add a link for food assistance in your area, and I'll pin this.
Thank you!

I can't get a good shot of it but there's a bunch of doves, some kind of tiny hopping birds, and a squirrel all chilling in the neighbor's chicken feed pan while the chickens just watch them. Nobody fighting. So cute.

Just squirrel things.

Forgot to tell my new doc I need a small speculum for a pap. :(

Was kind of bummed I raked and bagged leaves for 3 hours yesterday just to see leaves on the ground this morning, but at least the squirrels have plenty of seeds to eat. :)
