Check out this amazing #LittleFreeLibrary across the street from me! The people who bought this house painted it dark, and then made the LFL to match. I want to be their friend! 🤣

I like it! It adds character, and my eyes like it better!

I felt bad that I got it, considering what is going on, but then I remember it was $8, and if I allow myself to feel bad about $8, I am letting the bastards win. $8 for years of fun and joy is worthwhile.

Picked up one of my wish list Halloween items for 50% off last week (before the bad SNAP news came in.... sigh)- the punk demon #pig from Tractor Supply. I think $8 was the most I ever gave that company. I'm not making it a habit.

I'm fucked in December if this goes on, but I am working on options to get what I need. I feel so bad for people without options. I feel bad for the people working in food banks who won't be able to feed everyone- the demand is going to overwhelm the supply quickly.

Let's get the word out that it is looking like people who rely on #FoodStamps may not receive them in November. I have enough in my Christmas savings to cover me for a month, and that is it. I'm lucky- many folks don't even have that. If you can donate to a food bank, now is the best time!

Is Cozy Bookstore Goth a thing? If not, can I make it a thing?!

Love it. 10/10 no notes. 👏

It only takes a second to let drive-by haters know that you are not intimidated and do not value their input

A screencap from our DMs in which someone named Carol has responded to one of our posts with “ANTIFA SUCKS.” Following our auto-response, we have responded with a more personal message: “OMG get stuffed, Carol”

Great job everyone who was able to be at a No Kings rally today!! Rallies and protests are one of the MANY ways to oppose. We all have our ways. Keep up the good fight in your own way!

You've heard of Kitty Cats, but see before you Titty Rats!

(Put something in with the baby boys for awhile, and the big boys will be all over it.)

I found one of the boys' wish list items at a local pet store for cheaper than Amazon, plus a coupon for a further discount! This one is more complex than anything they have. Much more movement.

I can put a video on Youtube if anyone wants to see it.

This made me cry. Back when I had arachnids as pets, I worried how they would be treated during an emergency. I hope now that emergency service providers would be this kind to my boys.

Navy blue. Works with the creamy beige, and doesn't clash terribly with the other colors.

So delighted by one of my favorite #HistoricalRomance writers, Laura Lee Guhrke, for sending me a complimentary personalized copy of one of her novels! A few of my favorite HR novelists jumped to other types of fiction. I hope LLG sticks with us!

When your rattie sleeps in a way that makes you instantly think they are dead. 😨

Made the boys a little swinging seat from a discarded bra from the PGH Goodwill bins. Ehhh..... it's not looking to be a hit. My past female rats loved being in a bra, though. Very unlike their human counterparts. LOL

Wouldn't doubt it.

It's nice to see one not covered in the parasitic wasp larva. I know it's the circle of life, but that bit of it freaks me out. I feel so bad for the hornworm!

Remember the listing for this thing at Michaels that I thought was a bad AI rendering of a better product? Nope! Product's funked. LOL

Can't have a damn thing to myself in this place. LOL

At least Frenzy waited patiently. And cutely.

Rare, toothy-smile picture of me.

A friend and I were talking today that we need to communicate more about aging. The generations behind us really didn't do that. Let me encourage you to talk about your experiences openly as you age. I'm 45, menopausal... ask me about it anytime. LOL
