Assholes who make fun of people eulogizing their dogs: There aren't many places for folks to do that, and it's a big moment in some people's lives they weren't exactly ready for. So shut the hell up and let them do it.

Forever mom to my beloved pack. VOTE BLUE!! Please!! Science fan. Apparently I can use the f-word but gobsh*te is too much? I repost animal & landscape pics when my anxiety increases -- like all the time now!
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
In my recent quest to try every American food that I've been seeing in movies and TV for years, I recently had southern-style biscuits and gravy and I have just two questions: 1. Y'all eat this for BREAKFAST? 2. How do you not eat this for every meal of the day?
Mom: What’s your superpower? Jinx: I can look you straight in the face when you’re talking and not hear a single word you said.
Authorities made arrest for arson in 1 of the Spokane fires. Breaks my heart. Families lost everything but memories. Be strong. 🫶
Legal scholar/former US Atty Barbara McQuade: Todd Blanche’s recent assurances to the Senate regarding an “Anti-Weaponization Fund” & Trump’s IRS immunity are merely "hollow gestures" that fail to meaningfully check executive power. See CALL-TO-ACTION 👇🏼 1/5 www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
Trump Still Has That IRS Immunity. Don’t Be Fooled
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s assurance to senators about the $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” and President Trump’s immunity with the Internal Revenue Service is nothing more than a ho...

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

Our flight from Seattle to Sacramento was delayed by a few hours last night, but we were rewarded with an epic sunset on Tahoma (Rainier) as it poked through the low stratus layer. The pastel peach backdrop was made possible by the horrific wildfire smoke from all the PNW fires.
Our neighbors are being kidnapped from our streets. We have seen increased ICE activity across Seattle neighborhoods over this past week. ICE must be held accountable for their cruel and illegal actions. We know that fear and chaos is their goal. We counter that with knowledge and community.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.gov · 6d agoDHS must immediately return Eduardo Aguirre home to Washington state. These cruel tactics to speed up deportations and remove due process must stop. Disband ICE.

The ultimate legacy of the Trump presidency (and, I fear, of the US itself) will be that it unleashed the worst impulses of corporations (big tech/AI; polluters), nations (Israel, Russia) and organisations (FIFA), allowing them to act with impunity. A world of immoral, suicidal lawlessness.
During the drought, I left out a bucket of water to help wildlife. I'd never seen any frogs around here but one found it and left tadpoles. Now I'm chilling outside and listening to little peepers peeping all around me. It's really cool. That one bucket led to all this life and sweetness.
