It's been a while since I last asked this, but here I go...

Can those of you who love your politics like you love to breath please tag them? Same with traumatic events.

Keywords and hashtags help others filter them out.

Not everyone here is American.
Not everyone wants to live & breathe politics or traumatic events.
Not everyone wants to spike their cortisol levels.

Just like I tag my dubious humour posts so you can avoid them, I'd be grateful if you'd do the same.

It's a simple courtesy.

This is actually a healthy lawn (mine). Dandelions are dynamic accumulators and enrich the soil. When you mow the lawn, they become part of the mulch if you use a mulching mower. Clover is great, too (also have that in our lawn). I just had this conversation with my grandson. Plants are only deemed weeds if you don’t want them. I want them. I love them. They are good and medicinal and beautiful. I named my business Dandelion Forest. Also, photo of my front garden. See? Flowers!

Violet refuses to accept a cookie from her horrible human (because I took her for a mani-pede this morning).

There is a glut of bad leadership in this country right now. It’s everywhere.

Listen, fellow x-ers, we have to step up. We absolutely have to get out of our pajamas, put some clothes on and get out of our comfy nests and fix this shit.

I’m serious.

So I’m standing in the kitchen, combing out my hair, and Lola decides my foot is something that needs to die. She wraps her paws around my ankle and bites my foot. Completely out of the blue. Never, ever done anything like that before.

So I play with her because she’s obviously bored, and a little extra with the communication.

It’s obvious that watching film and quality TV is my hobby, I’m happy to support the WGA strike. I don’t care how long it takes. There is so much content, it has become a foundational part of our culture. Writers did that and they need to get paid and get the support they need. Give them all of what they want. 👊

Think about your online interactions as if you are spending emotional capital, because you are. If you have feedback loops of things that scare you and make you angry, you are giving away emotional capital. If you feel a reaction in your body, that is cortisol, aka emotional capital. If you follow people who continue evoke negative emotional capital, you are only hurting yourself.

Choose who you follow. Feed your mind a balanced diet of giving and receiving emotional capital.
