@Floki_ it’s a filler word. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php

@JohnnyGenX all prisons have sexual assaults. Men get sexually assaulted all the time.

This is not an issue of male versus female predation. It can just as easily be male on male or female on female. It’s a power structure and dominance issue.

Everybody’s human rights must be respected. Women must be respected. Men must be respected.

I do agree that we need to ratify the ERA.

I wonder why people joke about male jail rapes but not women.

@Twitter_Quitter it’s impossible to ban substances. Consider what happened with marijuana. Prohibition of alcohol didn’t work. The opioid epidemic is worse than ever.

If someone is addicted to something they will do whatever it takes to get it, even if it’s illegal. Part of my social work career was spent at a methadone clinic. If banning a drug worked, we would be a clean, sober, nicotine-free nation.

@LAHolloway same. ADHD r me

@lifeinthePNW #dogsofcoso my dog is water phobic unless she’s drinking it. You are lucky. When I lived near the Pacific she was convinced the ocean was out to get her. Lake Champlain was the same thing. Poor girl.

@AngryCanadianGamer #story I was raised to be extremely polite. A few years ago in Boston, someone at a fast food restaurant was serving me and I wasn’t paying attention but they were really really tall. So I said thank you sir.

That very tall Black lady got madder than hell with me. She started screaming about me calling her a man and I looked up with owl eyes and said sorry, but can I get my food?

🤣

I now look at people before using an honorific.

@OrnamentalHermit Downloaded. No time to read today as I'm preparing to launch next month. Its in my "too be read" stack.

Good luck enchanting the algorithms. :)

@Undeadchick #feelbettersoon Hope you get over the reaction to the shot. Some of them are butt-kickers. Coffee always helps. ☕

Look at weather report: Rain in one hour.

Walk dog. 10 minutes later rain begins.

Dog believes she will melt. Sprint back to house.

Rain stops.

Check weather: Rain in one hour.

Walk dog. Halfway around the block—rain starts.

Dog insists she’s leaving wet candy footprints.

Make it to the back door, towel dog off.

Ten minutes later: rain stops.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Next time I’m putting her in a raincoat. Even though she’s not fond of them.

#photography seen in neighboring yard. Background swap.

@LiberalLibrarian wonderful. They’re good luck. 😉

@pollyst #welcome I hope you like it here as much as I do.

#firstworldproblems I'm wondering when the internet connectivity issues are going to resolve.

I just love the Abrams Brothers. One of my friends is a mermaid nut and whenever he post some thing about mermaids, I always think of this song.

#firstworldproblems The electrical storm last night wrought a certain amount of havoc on local internet access. The work of a few hours this morning took all day because my connectivity was shot a lot of the time.

That said, I completed a 1500 word submission and finally finished two book trailers during the time I could connect.

Funny how we have come to depend on internet connectivity for so much.

Not one of my best background swaps. I was looking to get rid of all the autumn leaves in the background.
