I am alone until tomorrow afternoon/evening. The spouse and kiddo are at his mom's. In the last hour, I burned two fingers on one hand and stabbed two fingers on the other. This was all so I could smoke some weed. Not even after! I should not be left unsupervised.

Last Monday Harper - per usual - tripped her way up the steps. This time she actually strained her ACL which means mostly bedrest and carrying her around so she doesn't end up tearing it. She is a bit over my weight limit - 45lbs - and hates being carried so she is not a happy girl. What a week.

A black dog lies in a bed with gray sheets and a green blanket. Her ears are a bit askew and if this picture had sound, it would be soft dog snores.

Every time someone calls Hegseth's testosterone program or Elon's hair plugs "gender affirming care," I wince. Speaking only for myself, and I know the jokes are well-intentioned: I wish we'd retire this one. New from me on why. www.readtpa.com/p/theres-no-...

Two things can be true: Israel is committing genocide (quite gleefully, openly, and they'll brag about it on TV), and random Jewish Americans are in no way connected or tied or have to answer for Israel's actions. The only people that are accountable for the genocide are its perpetrators.

My niece, who has a complex medical condition and uses a wheelchair, is currently in Paris with her HS French class. They have prepared a lot for her limits, but I don't think they could prepare for this heat. To say I am worried is an understatement.

Last night was the hottest night in France since at least the Medieval Warm Period (900 years ago) and possibly since the Eemian (125,000 years ago). #NothingToSeeHere #MoveRightAlong www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/...
