Don’t mind me. I’ll just be over here making herbal bath salts/soak and reminding my MAGA relatives who they voted for on their socials.

My dog acts like human child sometimes. She’s been in and out of my bedroom since 5:30 am. I don’t normally let her out then so I made her wait. When I finally got up, she didn’t want out. She just wanted me to know our other dog was in her spot on the couch.

I can’t stand someone who says they’re apolitical in 2025. I definitely can’t stand someone who claims to be apolitical, gets upset if you bring up anything deemed political, and then has the audacity to act like Musk is really doing “unbiased audits”. Spare me with that BS.

The Trump administration’s rebranded Schedule F policy aims to reclassify federal employees in policy roles as at-will, removing civil service protections. This will politicize agencies by allowing dismissals based on political alignment.

Explain how I can barely sleep one night, drag through the next day and yet be wide awake at bedtime the next night. Rinse and repeat. I’m pretty much on glitchy autopilot at this point.
