I've got some stuff in my garage I can transfer ownership of to trump. One of them is even an appreciation-for-a-job-well-done award 🏆.
Just let me know, mr. prez.

Too much "shoulding" on myself lately: I should do this, should not do that, should not have done that.

I agree with this 100%. Also, places that insult you to try for a sale!?!
You think that will make me want to work with you??

Sales tactics like
"you've got 24h to make a decision!"
"only 2h left, then price increases 500%!"
repel me.
When the business has to force people to buy, the question arises how good the product actually is.
Food for thought.

I got some Italian bread 🥖 on sale and it makes really good garlic bread. I just can't seem to get enough if it.

I just noticed this "what's up?" prompt.
What's up you want to know?
I tried to think of something witty or interesting to say, but alas, nothing.
What's up with you, Bluesky?

Just a reminder, for those of you who thought Republicans might’ve grown a spine: Yesterday, after posturing & hand wringing, they had the chance to put an end to Trump's illegal military operations in Venezuela.
They voted no.
Their cowardice only further emboldens Trump.

This evening's #escapism is presented by all five Star Treks and a triple chocolate muffin.
Hope you all find a way to escape whatever craziness surrounds you--even if you don't have a president (or leader) who's a pedophile, rapist, ignorant & batsh*t #crazy man with little hands and weird hair.

OTD in 1996, 9-year-old Amber Hagerman was abducted from Arlington, Texas, the city I call home.
Four days later, she was found. Her murder was never solved.
The case of Amber Hagerman led to the creation of the Amber Alert, which has evolved since its beginnings, and which is named in her honor.

Can't be much clearer than that.
“The President of the United States is a criminal. He’s not just a convicted criminal. He should have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th. He is running the government like a mob operation.“

Too much excitement at the offsite 🐕 adoption event today. Samuel, who's 8 but has puppy energy, got loose and took off across the parking lot. Fortunately he was caught without harm (except to my nerves!), and was put in time out.

There's a knock on my door w/ NO SOLICITING sign.
Guy says "I see you have a No Soliciting sign so I'll be quick." I stare at him.
Starts his pitch, I say no, close the door.
Realize I'm pissed, open it again & ask him why he's soliciting me.
He says "not soliciting."
I slam the door in his face.
