Saw a flock of wild turkeys on my walk today, and then, a trio of barred owls called and swooped back and forth across the street. It's the little magic moments that make the day.

I wish there was a way to hammer in this message that the vaccine is basically just an education module for your immune system. It’s a fkn training sim!
VACCINE ➡️ TRAINING SIM
When a vaccine does its job, what ultimately protects you?
It’s STILL your fucking immune system doing the hard yards!

“I trust my immune system. I don’t need a vaccine.”
Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it.
Boxers don’t enter the ring without a plan. It’s the punch you don’t see coming that knocks you out.

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.
And now, you can use it, too.

My hen went broody and I said let's get her a few hatching eggs. I wanted salmon faverolles. They were sold by the dozen. I can fit that under a hen, I said. The breeder sent a few extra, so 15. I can fit that under a hen, I said.
I could not fit that under a hen.
And now I have an incubator.

When I hear Pope Leo, all I can hear is Popplio. But, hear me out:
The Catholic Church has an anime mascot, Luce. Luce is a pilgrim. Pilgrims travel seeking holy places. In the Pokémon universe, God is literally a Pokémon.
Ergo, Luce is a Pokémon trainer, and Popplio is her starter.

It's true I don't need 30-35 dolls. But I do need at least 100+ colorful plastic ponies to function, I have to get my dopamine from somewhere.

Since it's world whale day and that story a kayaker being "swallowed" is going around, here is a whale fact PSA: if I put a piece of gum in my mouth I would not say I swallowed gum. If it goes down my throat it is swallowed. Humpbacks cannot physically "swallow" a human! Their throats are too small-

Yep. Definitely a victim of identity theft. Have found six fraudulent credit card applications so far made using my name and social security number. Did not have that on my 2025 bingo card.

Also it's probably partly the space in my heart and home left by the loss of Hannah, and partly my anxiety over our current dystopian circumstances, but I am struggling against the urge to adopt piles of cats and chickens and gather them to me to keep them safe.

Had six different pings to my credit report. From various banks and credit card companies. That I have not applied for accounts with. So...that's not suspicious at all.
Froze my credit but now have to figure out how to figure out if any fake accounts actually got made??
