This is Tender. He has parvovirus... and he's NOT thrilled about it. His littermate already passed away, but Tender is showing signs of improvement. You can help us cover the cost of his hospitalization and continued care below ❤️🩹

This should make us angry and it should get us to speak out against what is happening all across our country.

My weekend alone continues. I’ve opened the windows for fall morning air and because one of the dogs pooped in the office. I lit a candle. I have tea and a somewhat warm croissant from Costco. I’m wrapped in an oversized fleece hoodie decorated with strawberries. Time to write! #writingcommunity

My husband and sons just left to go fishing for two days. I just cracked a crisp white claw and I’m about to turn on a British murder show and work on a needlepoint project. I’ll probably be in bed by 9 with a book. I may have another white claw. I may let the dog sleep with me! THE NIGHT IS MINE!

To the brave women who spoke today about the horrors of Epstein/Maxwell, I say this:
For any legal concerns about speaking the names of people who sexually abused you and others, have no fear of legal expenses; I'm sure plenty of angry Americans will help fund you. Count me in. Get it done.

Sometimes, I read through my Dictionary of Southern Appalachian English and find gems like this.
boughten is a great word, and it should be used more often, especially preceding the word bread
i’d have boughten that for a dollar

Everyone needs to watch Bookish because I want another series. It's absolutely charming - murder mystery miniseries about a bookseller played by Mark Gatiss who solves crimes. He's living in the 1940s in a lavender marriage with the glorious polly walker.

I was a at safety-net hospital today and the NP told me that their outpatient clinic no-shows has sky-rocketed because of ICE. And as a result, sicker patients are showing up the ER close to death's door. This just makes me so sad. #medsky
