My dear friend wrote a short story that surprised me 3 times in less than 3 minutes. It’s so good! Sci-fi fans will love it.

So… I did a thing. My entry made it to the final showdow. I honestly didn’t think my piece would get as far as it did (top 64). You can read it at the link below. www.writingbattle.com/story/debrie... #writing #reading #shortstory #writingbattle

The $1100 lava rock Ginger ate and passed this weekend. Was a fun (and expensive) ER visit at 4am this morning. We are feeling much better this evening tho!

As a proud cat mama, I know the horror of stepping in a hairball at 1am in the dark. As a proud senior dog mama, I can now officially confirm slipping in a dog turd at 1am in the dark is way, way worse.

A real hero. Millions of newborns helped. 🫶

Harrison, whose plasma contained a rare antibody, rolled up his sleeve 1,173 times from 1954 to 2018. The Australian is credited with helping 2.4 million babies and advancing scientific research.

This is punk rock time, y’all

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

I feel exactly. this. And Ms Walker-Barnes clarified for me. What are we doing? How are we galvanizing our energy? We need relevant answers to what’s happening day to day and avenues of action to defend the constitution IN REAL TIME. @mikelevin.org @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov

I’m watching a town hall with a Democratic congressman and it is so disappointing. A woman asked what citizens can be doing right now and he said we need to vote for people who reflect our interests. Is that the DNC strategy? For us to sit around for 2 years while the country is dismantled?

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

My dad, rest his soul, made sure I saw this movie in my teens. It remains one of my top 5. I think of you every time I see this, Dadlee and laugh at all the jokes. Love you! Miss you! #thesting #tcmparty

After the Palisades fire burned down his home, Casey Colvin feared the worst for his dogs, who he couldn't get back to despite desperately trying. But after five days, he and Oreo finally got a tearful and ecstatic reunion. "I'm never gonna let him go." 14/10 for all

I had to stop reading the Gaiman article. I always valued him as an artist-ally and feel like I, we all, were conned. I hope the survivors of his abuse find justice and wholeness.

Remember when Caruso tried to build a mall over the Agua Hedionda Lagoon in Carlsbad and he spent $10.5 mill on “Measure A” to get it approved and we voted him down with grassroots awesomeness? Ginger does.

While LA firefighters were running out of water… Rick Caruso, the real estate developer and former L.A. mayoral candidate, hired private firefighters to save his upscale shopping center in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday night. The question is: did he use public water for this?

We have extended family who have lost a home in the #PalisadesFire As a native SoCal animal welfare professional, I’ve evacuated 500 animals in 3 hours Fires are fucking dire & caused by climate change If you’re in SoCal, read “Cadillac Desert” by Marc Reisner Pay fucking attention. #LAFires

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

You’d think with all the wondrous things we can accomplish as a society, managing sports bra inserts after a wash would be less of a pain in rear end
