I'm worried about my brother deciding to leave this earth. The pain,the doctors, it's become too much.He's so depressed and in so much pain. Dropping his GoFundme, if y'all donate, I owe ya CareBear stares of love. Even just pass it around. Breaks my heart to see him like this. 💜 gofund.me/d583f3b77

Apropos of nothing, not a single thing at all, Halloween Costumes' site and Fun's site are having a big sale right now. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Several people are dressed in inflatable frog costumes and dancing at a protest in Portland.

I love ya. It is SOOOOO disheartening sometimes to be fighting so hard and look around to see all the fuckery still raging. You are one of the bright spots that keeps everything from being so bleak & reminds folks they aren't fighting back alone. Giant huuuuuuuugs.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Side note- I've really missed seeing the Javi-Doodles. I'm so happy to see them popping up.

I pretty much use it for option 3 above and to occasionally respond to a friend or two still there. It's just so hard to rebuild my old "circle" from there to here. After a million years on there & and peeps I love so much, lots have slipped thru the cracks while trying to reconnect. But eventually💜

What fires me up every morning is to walk in the world, listening to John Lewis, read by David Keith.
“Ours is not the struggle of one judicial appointment or presidential term. Ours is the struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, & each one of us in every generation must do our part."

A close up black and white picture of John Lewis against a grey background. yellow and white text reads Across That Bridge: A Vision for Change and the Future of America.
All caps white text across the bottom reads John Lewis. Smaller text below that reads United States Congressman and Civil Rights Leader

Black text on white background reads
5. "You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone — any person or any force — dampen, dim or diminish your light … Release the need to hate, to harbor division, and the enticement of revenge. Release all bitterness. Hold only love, only peace in your heart, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won."
― Lewis on being human in Across That Bridge: A Vision for Change and the Future of America

Below that quote is a black and white picture of young John Lewis - a black man speaking into a microphone.
The caption below the picture reads John Lewis speaks during a meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Statler Hilton Hotel, Washington, D.C., in 1964.

Black text on white background reads Ours is not the struggle of one day, one week, or one year. Ours is not the struggle of one judicial appointment or presidential term. Ours is the struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, and each one of us in every generation must do our part."
― Lewis on movement building in Across That Bridge: A Vision for Change and the Future of America

Looking up through the green branches of a tall tree to a pretty blue sky with scattered white puffy clouds.

For no reason at all, who is in charge at the Mint that can fix the design to add the little upper lip Hitler-stache?

The plan I have for my Youngling (and it's not even a "Gold" or "platinum" plan) will jump by a few thousand a year. It's going to be a little more than a fifth of our entire gross household income.

I am willing to pop back over to Twitter and curse them with many a pox of crotch fleas upon their houses. Ps- You know we adore you and I'm sorry these asshats are piling on you.

Mute and block, Bud. It's the only way to save your sanity. There's no explaining on any kind of rational level the group will accept that love is love and **GASP** smooches happen for everyone, not a select group they consider the "norm". In the words of HQ, "Normal is a setting on the dryer".

I firmly believe we should cheer loudly for our friends. Even Barry (my cat) was involved in the watch tonight. Did I ever in my life think JOHN CENA would make me cry? No Ma'am I did not. Did that happen during this episode? ....I cannot confirm nor deny. DON'T LOOK AT ME ITS ALERGIES! #Peacemaker
