The shittiest month of my life. 2 of my 4 dogs died within 2 weeks of each other. Attacked by a pack of neighbor's dogs, so 1 other was lost and ran over (we found her, she's fine). Ghosted by the person I love the most. Not one single submission sent. Life feels like a never-ending night.

Today, the baby that came to me at one week old, whom I bottle-fed, wiped her little ass and kissed her mud-covered nose for 14 years, will cross the 🌈. She told she she is tired 😪 The one on the right.

Apparently there’s a growing meme subfield obsessed with chronicling the Trump-Musk relationship and how hilariously toxic it is.
