More rage 😡
Coworker getting in my way
Almost everyone I knew at USAID were dedicated, hardworking professionals who cared deeply about their development work - and did more net good than most anyone else in government. Musk, Vought and Trump’s wipeout of an entire profession should never be forgiven.

Someone is adamant that it is dinner time. Despite it not, in fact, being dinner time.
My emotions are all over the place lately (although mostly rage, anxiety, & depression) and I have no idea if it’s from perimenopause, PTSD, or just *waves hands widely in the air* everything
That sounds about right 🤣
Apparently today is Cats in Boxes day
Little weirdos
We were having such a lovely rainy day and now the freakin sun is out 😒 DC really can’t ever do one solid sustained rainy day without ruining it with sun
Surprisingly not upside down girl

I’ll be honest, I always kinda wondered if the dudes in Thailand actually grasped the trade-off they would be getting, or are deluded enough to truly believe that this (usually much younger) lovely Thai woman really just wants to cater to them so VERY VERY MUCH

Black and white photo of a shorthaired tabby kitten appearing to burst through a sheet of white paper in a dark frame. Text at the bottom reads “sauve qui peut”.
“Sauve qui peut”. This is a French phrase that translates literally to something like "save yourself who's able/can" and roughly equates to “run for your life!” or “every man for himself!”, indicating a chaotic or dangerous situation/stampede. Postcard from my collection, no date/info.
I am! I was thiiiis close to having to move back to my parents’ basement in Wisconsin, but got this new job in the nick of time 😅
This was my first thought, too
I’m not doing anything, mom
Polar bear
She’s not usually a blepper
Finally made it to the National Gallery of Art to see the new Artemisia Gentileschi and then wandered for a bit
So he killed his wife and is being held on suspicion of murder? Way to bury the lead ( and all relevant information) there
Demanding audience
I’d been going through Penn for weeks before I noticed this 🤦♀️
God I hate this genre. These kids who protested Gaza got arrested, expelled, beaten up, doxxed, lives ruined by outside agitators and were utterly betrayed by the administrations that should have protected them at any cost. Shut the fuck up.
My emotional support salmon bowl and (several glasses of) wine did actually help. Also cats and chocolate
