Wild to me that Firefighters manage to have their bodycams on but Cops and ICE can't seem to figure them out.
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 23h agoFires have forced some 67,000 people to evacuate and destroyed at least 700 buildings. A man has been charged with setting one of the blazes.
I'm watching Glen Hansard's funeral on my computer while the Blanche committee meeting is on (silent) the tv, and I am reminded yet again and not for the last time today, how fucked up the world is.
I have updated the Little Free Pantry wish list with some stuff, figured I could pack some pencil cases with all the things, plus more granola bars and cheddar cheese goldfish. Other food items are not very popular I have found. Also: glue, or glue stick? www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...
Check out my list on Amazon

Jen Coleslaw@jencoleslaw.bsky.social · 2d agoSchool starts here on the 24th, And I don't have kids in the school system so I don't know what they need. What should I stock the little free pantry with for the elementary and middle school and high school kids who walk by either to school or the bus stop?

Here's Clown Shoes filling in for Blueberry 🫐 last night for kitchen hijinks
Here's Big Sugar doing his rabbits early this morning (volume up)
I ALMOST FORGOT: Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit any time after midnight tonight
My sister Katherine says it is Jose's last surprise in the yard before heading home.
Jen Coleslaw@jencoleslaw.bsky.social · 6d agoHow crazy is this white iris blooming in Virginia on the 30th of July?

What a fucking sham and circus this Dr Fauci "hearing" is. They will really drag everyone up & accuse them of the most stupid things rather than 1. Govern and 2. Confront their own complicity in this administration's ruination of the United States. 3. Epstein Files. Finally: Fuck You Ron Johnson
I let Fatniss drive to the dentist and she did really well! Look at the space between us and the car in front!
A reminder to everyone but especially to @darthbluesky.bsky.social that it is, in fact, too early to buy Halloween candy.
Ok Update 2: Jose called. He says hi! Ben said he could hear the kids in the background. 🥹 ☺️ ❤️
Jen Coleslaw@jencoleslaw.bsky.social · 2w agoUpdate: I was alerted by the kind @ladycowparsley.bsky.social that there were identifying images in my pics so reposting with an update: Jose landed around midnight our time and while we haven't gotten a message from him, we are assuming he will be bounced awake by his grandkids this morning.

I am having a day so here's Blueberry doing some light shenanigans in the kitchen early this morning.
That orange fucking douchebag couldn't even manage to put on a black fucking suit for the dignified transfer of 4 service members he killed with this stupid fucking war.
Update, Jose is leaving on Friday, not the 28th, but it looks like we got his flights and all associated costs, most medical needs covered. Thank you for your generosity. We are sending him home to his family with the love of this community. But he'll be missed terribly by our little family.
Jen Coleslaw@jencoleslaw.bsky.social · 4w agoFriends, you may remember me talking about here (and on the podcast) about our beloved neighbor Jose who has adopted us and who we have adopted in return. Earlier this week Jose had a cardiac event and was in the hospital for two days and nights and is on a boatload of medication and cannot work. 1/
I'm really disappointed in @repsuhas.bsky.social and @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social for their votes to continue to send American tax dollars to Israel to commit war crimes and atrocities in Gaza, The West Bank and Lebanon. I'd like an explanation for their votes because are you not reading the room?
I just turned on The Blanche Hearings and I feel like his lying is so egregious that MY nose is growing.
Thank you so very much to everyone who helped raise the funds for our beloved Jose's airfare to El Salvador, his meds, and other expenses. Ben and I continue to sort out the details w/him to ensure he has what he needs but your generosity is such a gift. Here's his fav kitty-Payasito aka Clown Shoes
It couldn't have been an attack of conscience... I mean he probably was vaccinated against that.
Ashton Pittman@ashtonpittman.bsky.social · 3w agoU.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham died Saturday evening after a “brief and sudden illness," his office announced.
I have sent some photos of Rufus, Waffles, and Clown Shoes ("Payasito")who is #1 cuddler when he is over to Walgreens for printing and pickup, and a picture of how pretty the garden is that he helped us build (or we helped him build) and the Easter inflatables--he loves those things.
Cathy 👩🏼🔬@cathypaddock.bsky.social · 4w agoI just donated for Jose. Men like him are my absolute favorites to work alongside when I've volunteered in Guatemala.

Live your purposeful life in a way that people announce your death immediately because so many of your friends and family want to celebrate your life, or let people know you're parting this mortal coil soon so they can say goodbye, instead of whatever the fuck is going on with Mitch McConnell.
Palmer Report@palmerreport.com · 4w agoI am sure it is a coincidence that 850,000 was the number of ordinances that the Trump administration shot off on the 4th and 5th of July?
Drop Site@dropsitenews.com · 4w ago⭕️ Israel’s Elbit-run Tzayad “digital army” system flagged 850,000 real-time targets across Gaza & Lebanon b/w Oct. 7, 2023 & the end of 2025 — people, vehicles, & other objects detected for possible follow-up attack from land, sea, or air — according to a... 🔗 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...
