I was cooking dal soup and burned it. I run upstairs to boiling water all over, smoke pouring out of the pot, fire alarm screaming, the cat's yowling...

Then the house alarm goes off. Three times. While I'm trying to clean things up so alarms (and the cat) will stop.

#Conservative #politics took a beating in the #2025Elections, but We the People aren't free yet. Voters acted the same as 2024, but #Republicans didn't realize anti-Queer rhetoric wasn't the key to winning.

My family just saw #TronAres with my friend Chrysta. It was surprisingly eloquent and thoughtful.

Plus the @nin.com soundtrack was absolutely gorgeous. So layered, so many themes...wow. It was the perfect complement.

And #JaredLeto plays the perfect program!!

Are we ever truly limited by anything other than #thoughts and #beliefs? Or will the #DivinePlan only be delayed, not denied? Get inspired by #TraceyNapier and her story of shattering perceived obstacles.

We just finished #OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding season 5. It was...good, although I don't have the same anticipation for Season 6 that I did with the other seasons.

Am I old and jaded @stevemartinreally.bsky.social...?

Listen, I recognize sanitation is important as much as the next girl. But I'll wait to buy a new Honda until after they've retired the Poo Truck.

So...Miz Lewis and I had a moment. And then @witchychristi.bsky.social and I had a moment. And finally Mercer and I had a moment.

They made good on their #PieInTheFace claim at #AtlantaPrideFestival ...and I f'ing loved it!!

#trans #transgender #lgbtq #queer #pansexual #lesbian
Miz Lewis and Ami share a sticky memory. Kinda wish I'd pushed Miz Lewis into the cream in my chest... Witchy Christi and Ami share another sticky memory. She was much gentler than Miz Lewis. Mercer and Ami share yet another sticky memory. Mercer had no fear in hugging me full on afterward. It was all worth it!!
