I will not follow any account that only follows women. It is a good strategy for weeding out bots.

Every day I wake up and wonder, is he dead yet? Every. Day.

My new 9 week old Australian Cattle Dog puppy! She is so beautiful and smart!

I'm dumbfounded that my country has been taken over by a criminal and fascists.

Isn't it beautiful? I found my first three morel mushrooms. #morel #mushroom #Illinois

Due process is a constitutional right.

My neighbor's cat, Norman. Happy caturday! #caturday

I got DOGED. I received my first social security payment minus premium in Feb. They took out over $1000 in March. They said it was unpaid premiums. The thing is those premiums were already paid. I talked to the SS guy who told me to file an appeal. I asked how long it would take he said "a while". 🫤

Okay! Second tornado warning since we moved here at the beginning of the month. Intense! #champaign #urbana #savoy

Just moved back to Illinois. Forgot how exhausting it is to move.

I loved Tom Robbins. I loved his writing. I thought would live forever. "Most of the night they did it, laughing and biting. Waking in the morning with rhinestone crustaceans on their eyelids and the butt end of a rainbow filling their tiny room." --- Tom Robbins (Another Roadside Attraction)

Keep up with all the shitty news. theblue.report

I have been contacting my Senators, Hickenlooper and Bennett and also Representative Jason Crow to express how appalled I am about the antics of the new admin and the destruction of our democracy. Jason Crow actually said in his response that he is willing to work with both sides. Wrong answer.

Sniff, sniff… #GroundhogDay

Side note; the California Department of Public Health has a page on its website for bird flu information. While the stats are for CA, there is good info about symptoms, how to avoid contracting it, and how to recognize infected animals; www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

A Sharp-shinned hawk, Inverness Business Park, Colorado A repost because I miss named the bird. Cooper's and Sharp-shinned look similar. Coop's are larger and have rounded tail feathers. #birds

Peter Matthiesen would have been happy to know Leonard was granted clemency. If you want to learn more, this is a great book about his story. #booksky

Clemency granted. Thank you so much President Biden.

Turkey Vulture, Colorado Incredible bird but if it ate a dead orange fuckwit it would die from toxicity. #birds

I don't give one shit about the inauguration or the fuckwit being inaugurated.

Accurate.

If I had the means I would leave this country. The government sucks. I can't trust a for-profit, anti-woman, capitalist government. I just hope to stay healthy for the next four years.

I am so proud to have voted for Jimmy Carter for president in the first election I was able to vote. Jason Carter and all the others contributed to a beautiful service for our former president.

It's really hard to be optimistic about the future. And I consider myself an optimist.

Best wishes for 2025!

My kinetic art piece called Whirling Elements: water. Solar charging a battery, battery powers a pump which pumps the water through the conduit, into the pot and into the cups which turns the wheel. Bonus deer in the yard. #assemblageart #kinetic #art #mammels

Lucille Clifton, always.

My inlaws are 88. My MiL is the sweetest, most stubborn woman and is completely illogical. She hums, whistles or baby talks to the dog constantly. I'm going crazy.

I'm still enraged about the election.
