perimenopause and stimulation issues is a horrible thing.

I'm cold
I'm hot
I need a sweater
so the air con is blowing on me, but the heater is by my feet
is this sweater itchy, or it is just me?
okay, what is that noise?
ugh, this cushion isn't right

I think goldilocks was a woman in her 50's.

I found myself in a dark park at night in London and I said to myself, "We have yelled at people in the tv for less," turned around and made my way back to the hustle and bustle lol.

Something to watch: A federal court order has, for years, banned the New Orleans sheriff from helping ICE.

Louisiana Republicans are now trying to lift that order to force NoLa to comply.

The outgoing sheriff fought that. The incoming sheriff told Bolts she'd be fine with the order lifting.

In New Orleans, a New Sheriff Will Take the Helm of a Jail Marred by Abuses

Police veteran Michelle Woodfork won the sheriff’s race, at a time when federal consent decrees barring ICE collaboration and lifting detention conditions may be ending.

I am happy that she got to live life on her own terms.

But that's because she could afford it. So when they say money can't buy happiness, they lie.

Dozens of Democrats running for U.S. House seats across the country told Axios they either wouldn't vote for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries as party leader or declined to commit to doing so.

Scoop: Dozens of Democratic House candidates won't commit to backing Hakeem Jeffries

"If there's a contingency of 10 to 12 of them and they're sticking together, I think it's going to really shake things up."

I hate that the building turned on the heat because I’m roasting like a turkey.

It’s 60° outside.

They need to change the parameters for turning on the heat to actual temps and not just by a date, since climate change has really thrown those rules out the window. So we just run the air con.

Then I wonder if I can sneak back to the room to do more felting.

I know if I do, she will be calling for me.

Sugar Maven of the Desserts Coven @mochene.bsky.social · 9h

When my felting runs later into the day, I always feel guilty that Chloe is in the living room by herself. I turn the tv on for her at 4 so she can watch her shows, but still. Then, I tell myself to spend the time and she’s just sleeping on the other couch lol.

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

I feel like they were going to do that regardless of how the dems perform here on out. But I do think that those dems running have to show us that they're willing to do more than share an oatmeal cookie recipe. A few people might got the juice, but we gotta squeeze more of 'em to see if they do too.

I'm so sorry, there are a lot of photos in this thread without alt text and I'm not able to add them in as a repost, so I truly am sorry for sharing media that is not inclusive.

To sum it up, there are a bunch of photos with armed people in neighborhoods from other cities, used against Chicago.
