When I picked up my dog from the sitters, they said she was the best behaved out of the group (they have five cattle dogs) and also the "life of the party" and I am positively radiant with pride ☺️

I love David Lynch's work, especially Twin Peaks (hence the tattoo). His art is such a stimulating mix of the esoteric and surreal combined with earnest, questioning reflections on love and existence. I mutter "damn fine coffee" to myself nearly every time I have a cup. What a legend.

Why this nation isn’t screaming its bloody head off at being duped by a bunch of grifting billionaires operating entirely off the desire to increase their own wealth is baffling to me
Where the fuck is the anger? The outrage?
Entirely sickened by all of it.

While the fires that have devastated celebrity neighborhoods near Malibu have caught the world's attention, a similar size blaze in Eaton Canyon, north of Los Angeles, has ravaged Altadena, a racially and economically diverse community reut.rs/3PuoYXv
Far from Hollywood's wealth, Los Angeles fire survivors feel forgotten
In the close-knit Los Angeles suburb of Altadena, where rows of neat bungalows once nestled in the shadow of the San Gabriel mountains, smoldering ruins and the skeletal frames of burnt out cars now lie.
