Friends don’t let friends move to modern day Russia.

Conmen await you there. And, possibly, violent death.

People who don’t understand that “character doing bad things” ≠ “the author supports this character and does bad things” should be beaten with sticks.

They really are! And Colorado Mountain Dogs (my breed) are part Pyr as well and it’s just so nice, they’re so incredibly smart, these dogs

BREAKING: We have a new puppy in our family. Please meet Freya, my brother’s latest Great Pyr 🥹

She looks like she could be in an 80s hair band, and we are all extremely proud of her.

Freya the fluffy Great Pyrenees puppy strikes a thoughtful pose as her sister Kaia and for a treat in the background

Paul McCartney in Denver, on his Got Back tour, was a spiritual experience.

Also downtown Denver is now completely broken.

Annoying but goddamn it - worth it.

I’m so grateful.

Today is Freedom Day for Nat. Eight years since my child and I got on a plane to escape domestic violence.

If you’re living with DV, I know how hard it is to leave. Most of us can’t do it alone. And the cage, perversely, starts to feel like home.

You still deserve better tho.

Natalia sticking her tongue out in the driver’s seat of her SUV. When I left, my PTSD was so bad that I couldn’t even drive. My ex had done horrible things in the car, including snatching the wheel and crashing us. Little by little, I fought the fear after I left. I can do it, so can you.

Russia killed a 7-year-old boy named Mark in Zaporizhzhia, because Russia is a scumbag terrorist and feudal state, a cancerous tumor on the face of planet Earth.

The new Ed Gein series makes Love Is Blind look like prestige television by comparison.

Man.

I stg, social media mutants who think they’re entitled to services are awful.

It’s one thing when it’s someone down on their luck, with little resources.

No, dudes who own multiple companies think they can pay me with “exposure” or “paying it forward.”

Tell that to your investors lol.

The best part about being asked to work for free?

People getting buttmad when you politely explain you can’t afford to do so.

“Oh, but you could afford to go to Utah.”

Yeah!

Because I do not. Fucking. Work. For. Free.

Good morning, wasteland. Don’t forget to stretch. Especially my fellow 40+ olds 😘

We went up into the Rockies yesterday, looked at all the foliage, I blasted Enya to the embarrassment of my son, and these are all things that I recommend as well ❤️

Yes, they have plenty of money to hire people. They choose not to.

Facebook genuinely has a policy of not caring and it infuriates me.

Danny Palmer @dannypalmer.bsky.social · 11d

Urgh, Facebook has just stopped caring about scams now, huh? Friend of mine was subject to a fake account pretending to be her and Insta's response to reports was basically, eh, nothing wrong with this!

Also, ace piece obviously. :)

Karen and her Facebook partner are truly the dumbest scammers I’ve come across in ages.

Call them dumb and dumbest.

Excellent reporting (as always) from @nataliaantonova.bsky.social. It saddens me how much of the world is a scam.

I spend time on some local Craft Show forums (looking for unique places to sell our comics) and even for these small shows the organizers have to put disclaimers not to pay anyone else.

America is truly the beautiful and I have loved every place I have lived in my country

❤️‍🔥

The beach near Wilmington NC. It’s blue and beautiful.

Emerald Lake at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. The water does look emerald in color. The sun shines. Mountains and evergreens rise up toward a dramatic blue sky with white puffy clouds. It’s heaven.
