Artist, mouthy, a disturbing number of cats.
Can someone tell them that Universal Healthcare would probably buy them a good 6 months without the media mentioning Epstein?

some scientists taught gorillas sign language and one would sign about his dreams, he called them, “sleep pictures.” and the president of the usa cannot pronounce acetaminophen.

Conservatives created cancel culture because they needed to pretend being unpopular was bullying.

Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION
Starbucks worker pay: $15,000

Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION
Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000

CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker.
In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more.

The system is rigged.

Up at 3:45, and now it's time to gather enough good cheer to teach a water aerobics class. It's ok though, the members can't tell us apart. They keep asking me about things the other instructors have done.

I give myself 20 minutes to go back to sleep in the middle of the night. More than 20 I get too antsy to succeed. I've viewed this as flaw of my own impatience but my fitness tracker has validated it takes me an average of 16 minutes to fall asleep. Guess who woke up at 3:45am this morning?

I am irrationally proud my husband was able to look at a wall of sink faucets and accurately pick the one I was going to get.

Medical insurance is such a shell game. Even a doctor can't get straight answers. Universal Healthcare Now.

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it.

Kwan, the cat that manages the house and does not like me to go outside, tried to stop me from coming downstairs all together by laying across the stairs and refusing to move.

Husband: "Yeah, just like sometimes there's bread in the mailbox."
Me: "What?"
Husband: "Sometimes I find bread in the mailbox."
Me: "That seems like a thing to mention."

Things are getting weirder at the Iron Mermaid.

I'm really proud of my little city for having good-sized showings for Pride and No Kings.

Once, a man was harassing the woman in front of him at the grocery store. My 6'4" husband interrupted by tapping him on the shoulder and asked if he was going to bully him next. Dude abandoned his cart and left the store without a word.

It's just an excuse to bully. 5 years of mask wearing, 5 years of asking people to mask or back up, no one has given me shit about it. I'm big, and I'm loud and no one even tries.
Got into a fight with a NURSE who we asked to give us a little distance when we were at a picnic table eating. We told her we’re were trying to be Covid safe because I’m at risk. She said I should have just stayed home. I said at risk people should be socially isolated and lonely AND SHE SAID YES

I’m not kidding; this is DOGE at work; multiple US citizens getting notices that they just leave the country because USCIS is revoking their humanitarian parole.

We had Tikka Masala last week and I was surprised I could smell it on my hands after I washed them. I finished it Friday but still smelled it on my hands again after a white pizza. I realized I put out a new soap last week and it's Gingerbread. It's really ginger-forward and I'm going to buy more.

I saw this and wondered why we brought Orson Wells into it, but I support the message.

I've been really into Wicked because the "no heroes, no idols, the government is lying" vibe really clicked around the inauguration. Since then I've been thrifting green stuff, checking on my reps and crocheting a witch hat.

It's been a quiet week of shoveling and crocheting. Then I hyperextended my hip while crocheting and now I watch other people shovel.
