Hmmm…what USAID wasn’t bad for America…what if getting rid of it only hurt us and everyone else?
What if the richest man in the world being responsible for ending aid to the poorest people in the world will go down as one of the most bizarre and disgusting acts of the 21st century?

My husband and I are working our way through the TV show "Scandal." The characters are all either (a) monstrous sociopaths, (b) hormonal teenagers, or (c) both. We've just started Season 4.
Hot-takes: We both love Mellie and Cyrus. He hates Olivia, while I like her.

This little fellow - Dorito - was adopted on Monday and then returned yesterday. We have another prospective family lined up to take him today. Poor, stressed out, little guy. Prayers and good thoughts for him. #rabbits🐰🐇

These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)

No work today due to civil unrest. Positive - unexpected holiday. Negative - civil untest.

Just watched "Lost in the Jungle" on Disney+. I was so moved by the story when it was happening and even more so now. What a miracle!

We need more good, salt-of-the-earth folks to finally recognize societal norms and pressures that harm (either intentionally or unintentionally) and to have a true Huck Finn moment, choosing "to go the hell" rather than forsake the humanity of a neighbor.

Meanwhile, the bun-mom can't wait until it's her turn to roam because the very adorable bun-spawn are super annoying. What does she look like, a milk dispenser? #rabbits🐇🐰

I *swear* that I was totally on top of my paperwork this quarter, but I was still working at 2:00 a.m. to meet grading deadlines.
Last time, though. It's not going to happen next quarter. 🤞

a cartoon girl says me right now in a red shirt
Alt: Boo, from the Disney film "Monster's Inc," is blinking with tiredness. Caption reads "me right now."

I just watched Kimmel's monologue from last night. It was well done. Funny. Touching. Timely. I hope this whole ABC/FCC free speech debacle is not too quickly forgotten -- we have power as voters and as consumers.

It's been two weeks since we made the impulsive decision to bring this princess into our hearts and home. She is friendly and adventurous, and she is hugely destructive. Much more so than our male rabbit has ever been. We love you, Wednesday! (And you're driving us crazy.) #rabbits 🐇🐰

Watched K-Pop Demon Hunters with my two boys (12 and 9) tonight. I don't know what I was expecting, but we had a good time.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

I keep scrolling this morning reading posts from last night... You are all very funny, AND I fear we are ghouls.

Wednesday would get up and say Happy #SundayBunday, but that would require getting up. Something she has no intention of doing. #rabbits 🐰🐇

So we did something crazy last night and brought this sweet girl, Wednesday, home from the store. They had her mislabeled as a mini (our other rabbit, Henry, is a mini). Any guesses what her actual breed might be? She's 8 months old. She'd gone un-adopted for five months because of her size.
