Age of the internet. Nothing is real.

Happy Xoloitzcuintli Day! We just celebrated my old man’s 14th Gotcha Day and we are so grateful for him and his goofy brother. They are truly the best breed.

He is risen!

FYI, just because you’re on the left or you’re a democrat or whatever, doesn’t mean you’re immune to ideology. Ideology and militant thinking in any form aren’t good. You can be just as brainwashed as the MAGAs you claim to hate so much.

The eclipse fit right in the gap between the trees 🥰

"what country puts a daycare inside an FBI building"

They never evacuated dependents in Bahrain.

I lived in Bahrain while my husband was stationed there. Our daughter was born there. Sad to see that dependents weren’t evacuated prior to this stupidity. Sad to see we targeted a girls’ school in Iran. Praying for the safety of everyone who doesn’t deserve this.

Was doing some research for a paper on the same bacteria that caused my mom’s abscess and death. The article stated there have been only 12 cases in the literature of abscess in adults caused by Citrobacter koseri. 12. Been sitting here trying to process that.

I love how nobody gave a shit about hockey until they laughed with Trump and suddenly they’re all fascists and misogynists. I laughed with a guy complaining about CA and gun control simply because I chose not to engage. Guess I’m MAGA now or something. The constant outrage is exhausting, eh?

I’m slightly annoyed that my quarterly alma mater magazine comes addressed as Mr. and Mrs. husband’s first and last name. Thankfully my degree has my first and last name and not my husband’s.

Bro, I’m so tired of this 😩 I’m not even 50 and I’ve seen my country majorly bomb and invade other countries at least three times with countless other actions that weren’t major news content. I just want high speed rail and beautiful parks.

Wishing you a safe and happy New Year. Gotta keep the faith as difficult as it is sometimes.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God, I know I'm one

3s exposure, very faint pink but it’s visible here in Pensacola! Also saw a meteor!

Very sad to be listening to Rosary Across America and hearing people who run the show say they listened to Charlie Kirk. I’m not surprised just continually disappointed in people who call themselves Christian supporting someone who believes in violence…and died by it.

We’ve been thinking about moving and this just adds to the reasons. I so feel for people who don’t have that option. Their children are being thrown to the wolves.

As a -7, I felt this in my soul 🤓

It's Wilder Weather's book birthday! Order through @sdhspress.bsky.social or your favorite book seller. EDIT: Weather Channel live interview postponed due to the ongoing flooding coverage.

So, the NWS vacancy had no impact on the ability of local officials to coordinate with the NWS? That seems pretty contrary to the discourse on Bluesky…

Because dogs are better than people. Especially Xolo dogs.

“Collective punishment” This needs to be brought up more because a lot of people don’t realize they sound like Israeli politicians when they say “Texans are getting what they voted for.” Because Libs would never say Gazans are getting what they voted for… www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8h2Pm2b/

I have spent the last 24 hours looking at media reports and social media posts about the Texas Hill County tragedy and being appalled by the level of misinformation I am seeing. I have tried to put together an updated, more reasoned summary I hope you'll read. open.substack.com/pub/balanced...

Not surprised considering my run-in with AltNOAA this morning. All the alt accts are garbage.

A lot of folks seem to be missing that empathy stuff they keep pointing out conservatives lack

Irony is living in the Free State of Florida but having to go to Alabama to buy fireworks to celebrate said freedom. Spent so much we got $70 in free incendiary devices.

Out taking a walk with my family to deal with my mom dying in hospice and came back to WWIII.

What a rad turnout in Pensacola today! #nokings

Ready for today! Thanks @marisakabas.bsky.social for the inspiration 😂

I smell weed in the car rider line while dropping my kids off at their elementary school 😂

Something like 20% of homeowners in FL don’t have property insurance.

I hate that I sometimes catch myself being guilty of this myself.

How am I supposed to write about age estimation in forensics when Trump and Musk are having a very public lover’s quarrel? Ugh 🙄

I have to say that one good thing about this administration is they have given me a lot of ideas for my weekly writing assignments 😂

Remembering today… My grandpa’s best friend, Kenneth. My grandpa held him in his arms as he died during the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Spc. Philip Spakosky thefallen.militarytimes.com/army-spc-phi...

Happy World Goth Day! 🦇 Wish I still had those pants.

Growing up, my mom would play this home video of her and her friends from the 60s and it had this one song that I loved so much…I took some time today to go through the Dave Clark Five discography to find it and this is it!

When you share your Spotify account with your kid this is what unexpectedly comes on while you’re listening to real music.
