Excuse me?!

Inside me are not two wolves. I am the wolf. Inside me are Castor and Pollux. I will birth Rome. 😳

Pooh Bear says “Abolish ICE”

Matthew Shepard was twenty-one years old. He was gentle and kind. On this night in 1998, he lay tied to a wooden fence for eighteen hours under the bright Wyoming stars. Not for any crime he committed. He lay there, alone and cold, simply for existing as a gay man.

She coulda been naked. Wearing a bikini. No more Fucking Excuses

Sandy is a saint 🥹❤️

Pooh Bear rolled up like our favorite buttery pastry. 🥐 #CatsofBlueSky #Cat #TabbyCats

Went so hard with this butternut squash soup.

Three words: Korean marinated eggs

So my college mascot was the poet. And here’s the funny thing. They made him look just like Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. Only instead of red they dressed him in fucking purple.

The face of a killer

It should be illegal to call the shit they sell in the grocery stores “kimchi.” “Very loosely inspired kimchi” - at best. “Straight up shit” would be better.

They think I can afford paying $901 monthly just for my student loans.

"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark." Michelangelo Buonarroti

It’s really wild that we trap and kill fruit flies when our dirty dishes, standing water, and full sinks are giving them a place to lay their eggs. Such is humanity. Cruel to its core.

When you’re ugly on the outside, but inside is beautiful. And maybe you don’t feel like much, but your worth is more than just surface level bullshit. And maybe what’s outside is protective because the aphids that wanted to eat you alive couldn’t touch you. 😭❤️

Hard lessons in cooking: If you cut the ginger nubs off from the root the rest of the root will mold. If you snap them off instead, the root will stay fine. If you peel your ginger with a spoon you will have more ginger. If you peel it off with a peeler you will have less. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maintaining neutrality in the face of genocide is not neutral. Declaring yourself “apolitical” in the face of oppressive regimes is a political choice, and it aligns with the oppressor.

That’s the thing. I don’t love every cat. I love my cat and maybe a few others over the years. Maybe this makes me not a true cat person. 🤔 I do love all the dogs.

After a full day of swatting at Sandy the Black Labrador and attacking the dining room chairs, Pooh Bear the Tabby kitten has settled in for his pre zoomies nap. Full squeak snores in effect. His favorite position: the Shrimp pose 🦐

I remember little toy flags littering the street gutters. I remember headlines about people being racially profiled for “looking middle eastern” and being dragged and fought in public for it. I remember a hate filled nation entering an endless “war on terror” and millions worldwide protesting it.

I was a 30 year old high school teacher on 9/11. Please miss me forever on talk about how it "united" us. I spent the year fighting with casually islamophic coworkers (teachers!) and principals who were staging classroom "anthrax drills." It brought out the worst in the worst people.
