Watched Six Triple Eight last night on Netflix. I encourage everyone to watch especially during #blackhistorymonth. I’m sure liberties were taken with the sequence of events, but from my reading it seems like it stayed pretty true to the story. Very powerful film and timely with our current climate

Finding it ironic that I am taking my annual work courses right now and one of them is titled Foundations of Disability Rights.
Going to curl up under my desk and cry for a while.

Fucking disgusting. Less than 24 hours in and IG is suggesting I follow these accounts along with the White House.
Sure maybe I would if I wanted to vomit on a daily basis.

@shannonminter5.bsky.social hi, do you have a ringworm treatment you would recommend? 6 month old kitty is in isolation at shelter while being treated, but I’m nervous to bring her back home. Wondering what products you used on BR.

Today marks 30 years since the return of the gray wolf. From watching them during a hunt, gorging their bellies on a fresh elk kill, howling under the snowy skies and puppies playing with sticks, I feel incredibly fortunate to have witnessed these beautiful animals in their natural habitat.

5 1/2 months was the longest I’ve gone without a cat in the house since 2005. Happy to have fixed this! Also as I type I am realizing it was on Jan 2, 2005 that I brought home my very first cat, Bella.

So disappointed. I wanted to read this after hearing him on a podcast. By page 42 I had counted 3 typos, and 1 factual error. I tried to keep reading but my brain wouldn’t turn off the spelling scanner. I know my grammar isn’t perfect, however isn’t that what an editor is for?

Winter walks in lower Bidwell Park are always a favorite when I’m visiting family. I had the best time introducing my daughter to all the places I grew up exploring.
