Such a tiny baby. Such a good cat. (3 years goes by so fast)

I want to blame pregnancy hormones for the crying, but Susan was so good and totally deserves the tears 🐈‍⬛

Setting up the pack-and-play for new babe, leads to showing G pics of her in it, leads to pics of baby her in it with Susan (late cat, died at ~17), leads to me crying.
She was such a great first cat for a baby. I feel guilty that I could not help her more, and miss her so hard right now.

Even this Pallas cat gets in on the discovery and exploration process.

One of my favorite things about this time of year: wild animals interacting with pumpkins.
Big cats are my fav, but this bear is pretty good.

How do you replace a cheap immigrant labor force?
Increase the crime rate so you can have more laborers for your prison workforce.
How to increase the crime rate?
Deny people access to food.

As a person who calls my mom's cousin my Aunt, and for whom a bunch of my mom's friends (who were around a bunch when I was a kid) are Aunties to me and my kid, the idea people think they caught Zohran in a lie is kinda wild.

I saw an advertisement for emergen-c, about how to protect yourself in flu season.

Like... we all experienced the same 2020 right? We know how to protect ourselves from diseases. You can spend much less on masks than on orange flavoured water and measurably reduce disease spread.

I am delivering a baby via c-section in 2 weeks and last night finally got my fiance to realize we would need to find someone to watch the toddler if he wanted to be there for the birth of his child.
Before now he found the attempts to plan childcare for this silly.

Did yoga for the first time in a long time. I had forgotten the unique challenges of yoga while caring for a toddler. Mindfulness challenge rating: advanced.

According to estimates, my little town (with a republican state rep) had 2% of our population at No Kings on Saturday. People driving by cheered, honked, and said thank you. And I am sure some locals went to larger neighboring towns' gatherings.
Makes me hopeful.

Pics from today's No Kings protest in my small town. Was a lovely day for it. People driving by were mostly supportive, big 'insult' thrown at us was being called communist. (Close enough label I guess, def not the insult they think it is when compared to fascist)

Me (42 yr old 32 wk pregnant woman in grey sweater) smiling while holding a large sign saying "Abolish I.C.E." and a small one saying "No Trump No KKK No Fascist USA!" Standing next to the road.

After layoffs, it's unclear how many people are policing civil rights violations inside the Department of Homeland Security, even as the Trump administration ramps up ICE detention.

Civil rights jobs have been cut. Those ex-workers warn of ICE detention violations

Today at my Dr's appt the clock on the wall was incorrect, so I fixed it. It was only off by an hour or so, so I imagine people just forgot around daylight savings and no one has noticed/cared enough to do anything.
This is all very neurotypical of me.

"Some of the best people in America are people who are willing to confront our mistakes."

This video is a good takedown of the Repubs. But this particular quote sends a strong message to those on the left with "never did anything I disagree with" litmus tests for joining the battle against fascism.

“Motherfucking wind farms. Loud, ugly, harmful to nature,” the Pulp Fiction actor says. Then, shaking his head knowingly and shifting his tone, he adds, “Who says that?"

Trump's energy policies are laughable. This ad proves it.

Swedish energy giant's spot with Samuel L. Jackson pokes fun at the administration, even as Trump targets comedians.

100% even when I don't know the words to the songs in Yiddish, and especially when I can sing along (k-pop demon hunters and the 80's/90's mostly) it makes working that much more enjoyable

hate that shanties are just for sailors, you should have songs to sing together at every job
