Malley’s eye ruptured this weekend. He’s got major surgery Wednesday that he might not survive seeing as how he’s 20 and diabetic, but the way he’s so happy to see us and cuddle…we’re gonna give it a try. 1/2

So out here on Island County, there's a Republican running for office who...um...thinks we swoon and are emotionally swept away by drugs? I'm pretty sure he meant ravage, but hey, maybe he has a different relationship with drugs than most people.

A mail flyer for Robert "Chili" Hicks who is running for office in Island County, WA. He has an issue on his flyer where it says we need to "stop letting criminals out of jail earlier and drugs ravish our community." Oops! Wrong word there, buddy!

I'm steamed that in the year 2026, Unique Vintage has decided to partner/collaborate with the Harry Potter franchise and funnel money to the hate monster that is JKR. Shame on them. No more shopping from me. This is not what being an "ally" looks like.

If your customers are writing in saying "hey your choices are funding trans genocide and I am not giving you any more money," maybe "every purchase comes with a 5% donation to GLAAD" is not the glory-restoring answer you seem to think it is.

Nothing like being jolted awake in a new house by the fire alarms chirping twice and then stopping. After much ado, pretty sure it’s a dying alarm in the bonus bedroom. I have trauma related to waking up this way so I’m not surprised my heart’s still racing & it’s been an hour.

A follow up to the small deer herd earlier this week—today, a momma & a youngling stopped by. Young one tried to walk through the screen door. I startled him and he backed up to the corner as seen in the photo.

There are no excuses left. Say goodbye to this TERF and stop giving her money. Do not work with her. Do not consume her works. Do not give her air.

there still seem to be far too many people who don't know/care that JKR has been funding and promoting anti-trans bigotry for the past several years. It's not a "difference of opinion" - LOOK, she is now even trying to take down Amnesty, for fuck's sake. www.erininthemorning.com/p/terf-activ...

So new home = new neighborhood. I was encouraged my neighborhood posts that implied our 4th wouldn’t be a war zone of mortar fireworks and fires… Three doors down, some asshat was setting off massive fireworks ‘til midnight. LOTS of them. Embers in trees. Scared pets. Not happy.
