Someone should interview people (not just women) that stayed in an abusive relationship because they were afraid to leave. Been there, done that. Took me almost two years of refusing to do anything for him before he let me leave. I had two young children he threatened as well as my family 😢.
I’ve interviewed a lot of victims stayed in an abusive relationship because they worried their loved ones would judge them for not leaving sooner. They needed support and they knew they would get ridicule instead.

And that’s something I’m thinking about a lot in this political environment.

Why shouldn't the current administration (gagging calling it that, definitely an oxymoron) take the blame for the Delta aircraft that flipped over while landing in Toronto? They fired the mechanics too. Thank goodness it appears no one passed but there are injuries 😢.

Watching a movie with this pretty girl trying to destress. Shaak-Ti is a holdback from last year's hatchlings and a beautiful red monster bearded dragon. She definitely isn't a monster in personality though!

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...
The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out
FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

Not only is our country in turmoil, our national bird is also 😢💔.

A nest in SWFL (Fort Myers) lost 2.5 month old bald eaglets to the avian bird flu (h5n1). Now we are just waiting and hoping the parents (M15 & F23) don't get it too. Losing bald eagles. A sign? www.facebook.com/share/p/15e4...

I heard he was yelling at the officer. "I have a full pardon, so I can do anything!"

Being able to react with my menagerie on a daily basis helps keep me going. Trying to act like it is all good beyond my doors helps keep me centered. That doesn't mean I am going to bury my head in the sand even if I want to though. I have been through worse. #neurodivergent

Dear Ministers in America,

Bishop Budde did something awe-inspiring, something sadly rare, and something you are also capable of doing.

Sunday is here.

May you greet it with courage.

They are shutting down our weather services now 😔. I seriously believe Maga is using a lot of their 2025 schemes as population control. A way to get rid of people they consider unproductive (and therefore useless to them). A lot of those people are maga and mostly red states. Praying for us all.

This just popped into my head. All these eggs are laughing in Trump's face at the moment. I will be drawing laughing faces on all my eggs in the morning.

Is anyone else on meta (Insta/FB) and not able to comment on one or the other after 5 or less comments? Only friends or left leaning pages (nothing against community standards) are commented on. It has happened twice now in the last 10 days. My profile status shows no issues. But I get this message.

Trying to share the TRUTH on Instagram and Threads but they won't let me comment or post even though I have NOT shared anything that was against the so called terms of service. So much for free speech. Shows my account as not being restricted.

I have to admit that after Nov 5th, I still had hope for the future. But I see the lies, deceptions, manipulations and plain Idiocracy out there daily. I am losing hope in the future of the country I was born in and love. I am truly afraid the great experiment is lost to those that hate beauty.

These five month old blazing blue collared lizards just keep getting better! I love having some beautiful color in my life.

Some of my favorite lizards.
