Most of my awesome is in inappropriate things. French professor, yoga teacher, travel advisor, wife of ABQ film, & shit talking mom to Pants.
Everything is fucking terrible, but last night Penny very purposefully removed that sock from the H’s work boot so she could get in there.

Yes!! My go to insult is “rancid piece of shit”. Animals are magic. Penny here is proof. ❤️

It’s so hard, but they’re just the best.

He has always been the melted Kuchi Kopi doll from Bob’s Burgers to me.

Penny hates ICE! She promises!

I’ll let her borrow my sign!

Just had to finish the H’s French Duolingo for him because he had had enough of Duo’s nonsense.

Yay! Here’s ours in our front yard the other day yelling at us for mealworms.

Absolutely serious! Rats are great pets! They are smart and silly and love people and snuggling! This is Penny.

I WOULD put an upside down flag out, but I hate the flag so much I’d probably try to burn down my own house.

So Star Wars resistance it is.

Everything is fucking off the charts awful, but the H & Pants built a Little Free Library from scratch over the past few weeks, and it finally went up today!

Our roadrunner interrupted my morning coffee so I could give her mealworms for her to take back to her new baby!

I was trying to have coffee in my sunroom. Susan had other ideas about how I needed to spend my morning. We know she & Jeremy have a new baby because they chase the older ones away & they collect the mealworms rather than scarf them down right there. #nmtrue #abqaf

Huge turnout at the ABQ No Kings rally!! Melanie Stansbury was awesome!!

Two years ago today the roadrunner that we had been feeding (and still are) found his way into our house.
It was as shocking for all of us as you might imagine.

Seeing Sinners again in the theater before we buy it and it’s the only thing Pants watches for the rest of the summer!

Penny is sending her best ratty vibes!

Took my original sign to today’s #handsoff rally in Albuquerque, and whaddya know? It was still a HUGE hit!!

Penny zoomies!

Everything is terrible, so here’s Penelope!

Instead of engaging in reality this evening I taught yoga, ate dinner with my fam, drank vodka, watched Veronica Mars, played with Penny, & watched Superstore. I will also drink more vodka. Here’s Penny. She’s better than everything.

When you pick up a rat, you can see them thinking about what an injustice it is for them to be so smart and also so small and pickupable.
March 2, 2025 at 3:24 AM
Everything is terrible, so Penelope wanted to say hi!
