We got Gordie a new bed for his 15th birthday. I think he’s pretty happy with it. #dog #seniordog #rescue

And some of us still have our original black and white screen versions. It still works but I only have Tetris now.

Carved so many pumpkins with the neighbors — none of whom roast the seeds! So I took them alllllllll. 🤤 I’ll share some with them tomorrow so they can fully understand why I spend hours collecting, cleaning, and cooking them.
One full cookie sheet and three half cookie sheets sit on a kitchen table. They’re filled with freshly scooped and washed pumpkin seeds, drying out to be roasted. In the background you can see fall leaves littering the grass in a back yard. A full cookie sheet of freshly roasted pumpkin seeds sits on a stovetop cooling. To the right is two glass storage containers already filled with roasted seeds.

Ah yes. The incessant lie I tell because “it’s always something with you” also gets exhausting to hear. I’m very familiar with it. 🤣 So much so I put it on my body.

I have many fed neighbors. We let them know every day that we’re on their side.

What democrats are fighting for is keeping insurance rates from nearly doubling in 2026.
A collage of three screenshots. On the left is the text of a Reddit post describing what’s going to happen with insurance if the republicans get their way. It reads: Hey everyone. I'm a medical insurance broker in Georgia and I wanted to give this subreddit a heads up about the anticipated rate increases for next year's individual market policies. I quoted 12/2025 and 1/2026 as a 4 person young family (late 30's with two young kids) making $150K. The combination of carrier premium increases paired with reduction/removal of subsidy assistance will cripple household budgets and I fear many will go without desperately needed coverage. Now is the time to reach out to your representatives and raise hell before the open enrollment period begins 11/1. You can check it out for yourself on the Georgia Access website - https:// enroll.georgiaaccess.gov/hix/ and bring receipts if you’re reaching out to legislators. On the right are the December 2025 rates compared to January 2026 without the subsidies democrats are fighting for. Oscar’s rates go from about $774 to $1870 per month. Anthem BCBS’s go from $1019 to $1975 per month. Ambetter Peach State HP’s go from $1026 to $2304 per month.

I made some soup. Ok, a LOT of soup. It’s my grandma’s caldo de res recipe and I used her pot. I am happy.

Thank you! I’ve been every color of the rainbow but I’ve never gotten a reaction from the general public like I have with this shade of green. It’s wild. I always thought my color was blue and I was wrong. 🤣

When I ordered an ancestry dna kit a few years back, I remember thinking “well obviously it’ll say I’m half Mexican.” Then I realized it wouldn’t say Mexican. It said so much more.
