The Democratic (DSA) nominee for US Senate from Michigan, Dr. Abdul Al-Sayed! I’m not even from Michigan but I’m so happy for you guys.

Well the good-ish news is that it looks like the firefighter didn’t pull enough votes & partly bc apparently he lied & said he wasn’t responding to the Spokane fires bc he was at a funeral, but was then caught campaigning IN Spokane during the fires instead of providing assistance to the community

I got a little emotional seeing the parade of cars lined up to drop ballots for a primary, especially with the fires still burning here, but I’m a little worried the timing of the fires may tip our primary in the wrong direction bc one of the unsafe candidates is a firefighter :-(

14 people who called the Sheriff for evacuation assistance during the Spokane fires, which are still burning, are currently unaccounted for 😔

The shelter that I have been fostering Taylor through is the lead agency in providing emergency boarding, medical care, food, & other supplies to all of the pets impacted by the fires that are currently ravaging Spokane. If you’d like to support them in this effort, you can donate at spokanimal.org

For people who don’t understand the context of how urban these fires are, here’s a side by side of the fire map & the map of Spokane (all of the grey is neighborhoods). At least 100 more homes & structures have burned in the last day bringing the count to over 700 & the fires are still 0% contained

Spokane is on fire and they’ve had to ground all airport because FUCKING CUNTS are flying drones over the fires trying to get footage and I stg I wish catastrophic debt on all of them

When my house in Spokane caught fire a few yrs ago, displacing my family for a yr, the INW Red Cross showed up & ensuring we had shelter & out immediate needs covered until my insurance could take over. They are on the ground in Spokane doing the same for my community now. You can help here:

The fact that every single person is accounted for and was safely evacuated with how fast this spread is a testament to the community we have here.

This lil dude is lowkey an emotional terrorist giving me this face like “Please don’t bring the leash to make me go outside to go potty” but like it’s been 2 weeks he still won’t go out on his own & will hold it until he has an accident 🤦🏻‍♀️

Just saw this in one of my community groups. Even amidst evacuating the fires that are currently ravaging our city band all of the chaos, people are still trying to get their ballots in. We are not playing about these midterms here & trying to primary our shitty congressional rep 🥰

It’s feeling creepily dystopian AF right now to hear the ice cream man cruising my neighborhood with his happy music blaring while 600+ homes have been destroyed, 5000 more are under evacuation order, around 40,000 people are currently displaced & fires are 0% contained on the other side of town.

Ngl, I don’t love seeing things in my city being scary enough for Aaron Parnas to make a video about it, but I do love how quickly my old boss started mobilizing my WA Air National Guard fam from both wings to come help get people to safety.

“Just hours after taking office, President Donald Trump signed executive orders that attempted to block spending, including funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act.”

WA loses access to $200M in wildfire preparedness funds, officials say

A DNR spokesperson said the agency wasn't notified or provided an explanation of why it is unable to access the funds.

A dangerous wind shift (visible on radar imagery) has just occurred in #Spokane, WA, where major wildfire disaster is currently unfolding. Three separate major fires (circled) near or within city limits have already caused major structure loss & chaotic, expanding evacs. #WAwx

I still haven’t gotten him all the way outside to go to the bathroom without the leash yet, BUT he did just run from the couch all the way to the back door without the leash before he got scared & ran back to his safe spot on my bed.

It’s possible the kid bribed Taylor to stay on the couch for cuddles 🥰

He refused to go in the living room & ran back to the bed after his potty break last night, but this morning he let us lead him up the stairs to the couch for the 1st time & has been chilling on it all day!!! We are a living room family so this is a big deal!!!

TikTok is so chaotic sometimes bc why did I just see someone accuse THE Jenna Jameson of being trans in a comment like IYKYK 💀🤣

Taylor win for the day is he’s been hanging out ON THE COUCH! It’s the 1st day he wasn’t on my bed all day. Since he has refused to go up there willingly, we put his crate up there after his checkup at the vet & let him out on it. I expected him to jump off & run straight to my bed, but he stayed!!

I just learned that removing the fallopian tubes reduces the most risk of ovarian cancer & there’s something so poetic about cancer risk being reduced the most when you remove the part of the reproductive system named after a man 🤣😂

Proof Taylor has a belly button (IYKYK🫶🏼) jk. But really this is the first time he’s been relaxed enough to lay with his belly out instead of laying on it or balled up like an armadillo to protect it. He’s still got a LONG way to go but we’re celebrating any little signs that he might feel safer 🥰

Taylor: 1 Leash: 0 He really said fuck that leash when we were trying to hold him to get a dingleberry off his booty & got the leash at the right angle to chew it in half in like 3 seconds & run into the house instead. 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ At least he runs into the house instead of away tho

Tater Taylor just barked for the first time since we’ve had him! Granted it was at me when I was trying to put his leash on, but I’m glad he did that instead of biting so a win is a win. I can’t stop laughing at myself tho bc I said “thank you for using your words” like he’s someones feral toddler🤣😂

The initial post asked if doctors that respond to emergencies on commercial planes bill insurance after & apparently we found a loophole lol

I’m guessing he was tied up or yanked a lot, bc Taylor’s #1 fear biting trigger is the leash so we have to be sneaky & he normally fights if we try to take him anywhere besides the backyard to go 💩, but today we finally got him to go out the front to go for a trot around the block.

One of the cutest things about my kid is the easiest way to wake her up gently is to play Hamilton. We are NOT morning people, but she will wake up just to start singing it 🥹🥰

Taylor the tater and his 2am munchies after falling asleep on my arm 🥰

My kid just came across this pic from the time her high school health sciences class was going to teach them to draw blood on fake arms & she was nervous so I taught her on myself the night before, since I learned on a person in medic school too & she got it on the first try. #random

I tried adding a little pumpkin to Taylor’s food & he just used his nose to politely nudge the bowl away and then hid his face bc he didn’t want it 😂
