Former Christian Republican (40+ yrs). Grateful for the Information Age. Still finding my way in a world I wasn't raised to understand. Poorly educated but not an idiot. Mom to grown kids who I made sure were not poorly educated. I value kindness.

It’s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.

I’m at my orthopedist office right now and trying to stifle my crankiness. Ruins my mood every time I have to come here. As soon as I arrive I have to climb stairs and stand in a long line. At the place I go to because I can’t do things like climb stairs or stand in line. 😡

If Trump has “no idea” who the authors behind Project 2025 are, he’s showing an alarming cognitive decline. He appointed most of them to roles in his administration! Project 2025 is, in short, the plan to implement what Donald Trump has said he wants to do if he’s reelected.

It was pretty fun, not gonna lie. 😂 I made him tear up everything she’d signed and start over. Fixed everything that was wrong. Then I made him hand-write a note promising no more bullshit and that he’d take personal responsibility if there *was* more bullshit. I still have that note somewhere. Ha.

They do it because it often works. I’m amazed at the number of people who just passively accept this stuff. My daughter is weak (luv her but she is), so I still show up with her for car stuff even tho she’s 34. I made a car dealership guy nearly cry last year. Lol.

I’ve had this little guy in my bedroom for six days because someone left him in a dumpster and we’re waiting for a rescue organization to find him a foster home. He’s a handful but his little goblin face brings me joy. 😊

Hope, faith, and optimism create the possibility of a good outcome, while cynicism and despair close that off. You can't guarantee success, but you *can* guarantee failure.

For historians, the retrospective legitimation of essentially every criminal act Nixon committed while in office is quite mind-boggling. Ford’s pardon was utterly unnecessary.

Going public with an experience like this is life-altering for a woman, so when you read these stories remember both the extraordinary amount of courage involved and also the likelihood that there are many others you’ll never hear.

Hurricane Beryl is now a 115-mph Category 3 monster, just a day after it was a tropical storm with 60-mph winds. The storm rapidly intensified at a rate unprecedented for June, and is en route to the Lesser Antilles. The National Hurricane Center is warning of “life-threatening” impact.

Ticketing people who can’t afford a place to live is the epitome of Republicanism and Christianity… it’s all about feeling superior to the less fortunate. US Supreme Court ruling will worsen homelessness crisis, groups warn.

So my daughter and I are sitting here watching Jaws and she says Richard Dreyfuss was cute and wonders aloud where he’s been. We both start Googling and OH MY GOD you guys we really didn’t know about him. Like, neither of us knew anything about him as a person and damn I wanna go back to that. 😣

You didn’t sound patronizing at all. I tried all day today to reach the owner, but no luck. Perhaps for the best. But I did find a wonderful pug group (organization? club?) who will find him a foster home. Might take a few days but they’re pretty sure they can place him. Yay! 😊

Here’s a link to the Amicus brief the Grant’s Pass Gospel Rescue Mission filed. Yes, it is literally just “The cops should be able to force homeless people to choose between our program or charges.”

A homeless shelter wrote an amicus brief in the Grant’s Pass case. They argued SCOTUS should let the city arrest the homeless because, and I am not shitting you, the ban on doing so meant less people were willing to abide by their “two church services a day and no sex” requirement to sleep inside.

Oh, yes, definitely possible that the owner isn’t the one who abused him. I was just thinking through how to handle *if* I found the owner problematic. Would rather make the calls myself as I don’t entirely trust anyone else (probably unfair, I know, but whatev). Working on it today.

You’re such a lovely man, David. ❤️ Yeah, I’m pretty much just trying to decide how I’ll talk to the owner. Because I have to do that before anything else, really. The first thing the vet or a shelter is gonna ask is whether I’ve talked to the owner. 🫤

I would if I trusted them, but I don’t. Maricopa County is awful with animals. I’ll figure this out. Glad to hear from folks and get their input, tho, so thanks for the replies.

Yeah, I am hesitant. Just not sure if a shelter can take him or not. I should’ve found out today but the time got away from me. Tomorrow I will. Gotta decide how to talk to the owner (if the phone numbers are good).
