ALERT!! THERE ARE GREEBLES IN MY LITTLE HOUSE

As part of my job, we often interact with military offices, specifically one that deals with sexual assault and another one that deals with domestic violence. The one that deals with DV is the Family Advicacy Program. The military loves acronyms so they call it FAP.

I giggle inwardly every time.

Yom HaShoah begins tonight, and I've lit my online candle a little early. I've been lighting a candle for Fishel Friedensohn of Wielun, Poland, born 1893, for some years. I'm now the age Fishel was, when he was killed. You can light a candle too: www.illuminatethepast.org/wall-of-memory

Honestly, that’s where I am 9 years later. No grief, just relieved, and occasionally angry at how I was treated.

Not all of us.

Screenshot from Threads: My deeply awkward, introverted self accidentally took down a Karen today. Picture it: I'm next in line. Woman in front of me is mid-rant berating the poor cashier-who is about to cry. Karen turns to me, assuming I'm Team Karen bo that's how I present, and says, "This is unacceptable, right?" I stared at her mouth and said the first thing that came to mind. "You have lettuce in your teeth." 6 words. Oh, the way she instantly deflated. I will be telling this story to my grandchildren.

It’s TACO Tuesday.

Highland Park reservoir in Rochester, NY. A few patches of blue sky peek out from behind big fluffy clouds.

Saying farewell for now to one of my favorite places on Earth. My spirit is lifted, my heart is full, and my backpack is heavy with tea, books, and research notes. À bientôt, mon cœur. Until we meet again.

Well, I just told one of my senators to get his butt back to Congress ASAP and do whatever needs to be done, including bringing bricks and baseball bats.

I should probably take a breath before I call the other one.

By the time I figured out I had it, I had a medical condition that meant I can’t take them. Although I hear there’s a new one I might be able to take - but at this point, in my mid 60’s, I feel like why bother? I might change my mind though.

The City of Pittsburgh just passed legislation banning cooperation with ICE.

The vote was unanimous.

🎉🎉🎉

EVERYONE TONIGHT.
White House 5:00pm. Rally against Trump. If congress won’t stop him we must.

I just keep remembering that people said they wouldn’t vote for Bernie Sanders because he was too old.

The bizarreness of not being sure whether I need to prepare for nuclear war or for a celebration of the death of an American dictator is not where I expected to be in 2026.

I wanted to make a hilarious joke on how hard it is to get dressed for work when climate change means there's no consistency in the weather but then I started wondering if my eye doctor appointment tomorrow will be canceled if there's a nuclear war so, idk, wear layers I guess.

The situation has become untenable. It is time!

Release the Kittens!

Very smol calico kitten on a kitchen scale. Scale shows weight of 100g

After two very stress filled days, I present my latest work-

Potat. Calico. 100g

ok, this is my favorite selfie.

In which I have strong opinions Hey you know how I said I was going to make a workbook on the kind of bullshit you need to do when someone you love dies? I actually did that. HERE IS THE VERSION WITH LOTS OF SWEARING AT THE USELESS,...

He’s a handful, to put it mildly. He’s a cattle trained dog living in a one bedroom apartment with someone who doesn’t really understand dogs. But he IS a very good boy, and he smothers her with unconditional love, and she does the same for him, so it’s good.

I don't know how to deal with the US possibly nuking Iran on top of everything else going on in my life. This is too many bad things. Some of the bad things need to stop now please.

A very silly, very large black and white cattle dog puppy, in his official St Patrick’s Day portrait, wearing a floppy green bow tie covered in shamrocks, standing in front of a backdrop of a rainbow leading to a pot of gold. He’s wearing a small green top hat with a shamrock on the front. He’s listing to the viewer’s right, and his comically large upright ears are tilted at crazy angles. He looks like he’s spent the evening drinking Guinness and is desperately trying to look sober for the photo.

I wish I had an answer that would help you, but here’s my daughter’s new rescue mutt (her first dog) at his doggie day care last month. Maybe he’ll be a momentary distraction. His name is Marley.

Oh geez. Well, congratulations I guess?

We haven’t forgotten

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today:

Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.
