Parrots can and do live long lives. Samantha is a red crowned (or Mexican Red Head) Amazon parrot. She came to live with us 32 years ago. She was 6 years old at the tme. During her time with us she has survived two dogs and has destroyed thousands of cardboard boxes.

Daily Beast: Trump’s sycophants continue to amplify the president’s detached version of reality. On Monday, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told Fox News that vandals were partly responsible for damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

I'm sort of glad that chemotherapy drugs have completely trashed my appetite. It lowers my susceptability to parasites in lettuce, salmonella in eggs, etc.

When will Fox News create this year's existential threat of Central American convoys of thousands of non-existent brown people ready to spill over the border and eat your cats and dogs?

A shooting at the correspondents dinner, guaranteed to be a ratings winner. Come dance Donny's distraction waltz, Where all of our flags are definitely false, And then, we get six months of Trump the spinner.

There's a state constitutional ammendment proposed in Florida to legalize cannabis for ALL adults. State and county officials are going all out to decertify and throw out as many petition signatures as they can. This is the second time the state has tried to tip the scales on this issue.

On a day when more of this world gets torn apart, I can have a few moments of solace while one of my parrots sits on my shoulder and snores.

Never thought this would happen. Apparently, I have been placed on a list and my follower number just skyrocketed. Please. Give me some time to vet you all. (yeah...I'm paranoid in this social climate) Thanks for the follows everyone. I hope you find some value in my chemo brain perspectives.

A MAGA guy down the street is trying to sell his house. The FOR SALE sign has been on his lawn right next to his Trump 2024 sign with his faded Trump flag waving above. I've watched as potential buyers stop, look at the signs and drive off. Yesterday, all his Trump effluvia was removed. Musta hurt.

Had a loooong day of chemo yesterday punctuated by an act of defiance on my part. I started off a seven bag, nine hour drip session with two Tylenol.

You know, Florida has a really bad rep over many things including a new concentration camp paid for by federal disaster funding but seriously...there are 23 million residents in Florida and the state is getting bashed by the actions of only 21 million. h/t Dave Barry

From one of the inner circles of hell, Cardinal Bernard Law is saying, "Shit, shit ,shit! Why did I have to die so soon...that could have been me.

Well...tomorrow is the big day. 3rd wednesday of the month and my SS is supposed to be deposited for the first time in the new account. Like clockwork for the past 6 years it has hit on the 3rd wednesday in the old account. We are living in different, very interesting times now.

I'm at the end of a long road trip staying for a few days in my dear old home, Massachusetts. I walked into a diner for breakfast on a cold, rainy Saturday and walking out was a guy wearing a red hat embroidered with, "Donald Trump was right about everything" What the fuck happened to you Mass?

@repmoskowitz.bsky.social In regards to your vote joining republicans in the censure of Rep. Al Green (D-TX) I once thought you to have leadership qualities, a rare and valuable thing in the Democratic party. But after your traitorous vote, you're just spineless. We're in a war and you defected.
