"Dog is the new Bob" is making me happy
Indeed. (Skinner, whose 7th birthday is tomorrow, also loves carrots)
Good grief, Hil. Any excuse to cut off educational funds.
I had such a sheltered upbringing that I didn't know that antisemitism, bigotry, or racism really existed until I was an adult. I saw it in the race riots in the 60s on television, but it was remote and not a part of my world. I never heard my parents or friends demonstrate any bigotry. It wasn't until I moved to Virginia as an adult that I encountered it, and it was shocking. I didn't live anywhere with a significant Jewish population until I lived in Pittsburgh. Although it was horrifying to have the naivety shattered as an adult, I will forever be grateful that my parents didn't raise me to hate others.
I am getting a tabletop convection oven/rotisserie thing for my 25th!! Anniversary at my university. This is supposed to be the one where we get the rocking chair, but I was like WTF am I doing with a rocking chair? I love my Insta-pot from year 20. Apparently at 30 years, there is a steam cleaner.
That is very cool. Much cooler than a watch.
I have become a rocking chair girl. Last summer, I started using a very comfy rocking chair and found that my back was happier. Then, when I came back to Florida, I grabbed an old rocker that was my mom's from my sister's garage and have been using it. It has two benefits: First, it is better for my posture than a soft couch, and I don't have both the dog and cat on top of me. Mostly, it is the slumping preventative aspect that is the most helpful.
Continued heath~ma for askye and loved ones.
But, somehow, we're in danger of losing funding unless we "solve" our "antisemitism problem."
Mike Lawler has been very vocal about the need to solve the "antisemitism crisis on college campuses" issue too, and among all the horrors this administration has unleashed, hiding behind a shield of "protect the students from antisemitism" so they can pull evil Nazi shit like disappearing Palestinian activists is pretty fucking beyond.
It's some fucked up doublespeak. And the ADL doing everything it can to help is . . . maybe I shouldn't still be disappointed at this point but I am
You know what I just remembered I can have? Coffee. It's pretty good.
And I promptly spilled half of it all over myself. Not to worry, there's more.
You’re. Wasting. COFFEE!!!!

I'll be lucky not to lose my coffee drinking privileges! Coffee is for closers.
I hate Trump . And everyone who surrounds him.
Update on M's Mom . They don't know what is going on but the doctor thinks it might be lung disease. So they are going to keep her until she is stabilized and then she'll see a specialist. That is all the details I know.
M came home from the ER yesterday and just broke down crying. This is so stressful for him. As much as his mom and he have issues he still loves her .
And his dad died in April or May right before we met. He went to the hospital for heart problems, I think, but it didn't seem that serious and then he passed away. So this is hitting him really hard.
My heart goes out to M. It can be even harder when parents are sick if the relationship is more complicated
Yeah. Hos relationship with his sister is complicated too ..well her relationship with him and their brother.
I'll probably piss several people off including M's mom but I'm going to talk to M about declaring the house a No Smoking Zone. She doesn't need second hand smoke. She doesn't need to smoke (not sure how that is going to go for her but she is a day and half cigarette free).
