#Politics #CityCouncilStJoe
Just letting y'all know that @junation and I have both said our things now and nobody has been arrested thus far. I did, however, wave around the coffee table book version of the Construction a lot, though. And said that of the Council had not paused board nominations, they would have committed viewpoint discrimination which SCOTUS declared unconstitutional. @junation straight up said the ones who purged books and library staff were the Nazis. Good stuff.

#Politics is about to happen at the City Council. Lots of friends and lots of rainbows. That said, I pixelated part of my selfie. Library Board pushing out the gay pastor is kinda important.

Good morning CoSo!
We got bed head. How are you?
#Neville #DogsofCoSo

This afternoon: celebrating that ten fucking years ago, @junation and I were part of the small group that put together the first ever Pride in our town. In the parking lot of our church. That is the setting where we really are OGs. Where we gathered with other OGs today. And where we talked strategy for supporting the queer pastor who is pushed out of the Library Board. That pastor was there w his husband. Our pastor was there w her wife. That socialist Rabbi we follow is hopefully proud of us.

TFW it is #Caturday but you are also unsure about the fate of the world. #Zoli #CatsofCoSo

"Do you have allergens in your home?" That was the question from the doc at Urgent Care. Why yes, I do. And they are cute as heck! Modern medicine needs to catch up to the fact that I will live with dogs, one of my most significant allergens. #Malcolm on the left, #Lepke in the middle, #Mozart in the back, and #Neville in the front. #DogsofCoSo

Good morning CoSo!
Last night our #bellydance circle (Blacksnake Bellydance Circle, named in honor of the hills around us) had our monthly Snack & Chat, where we basically have a potluck. It has been a year since my friend and I started the group, so she brought this cake. May today be a day of being grateful for our circles.

Anyone have absolute Holy Grail favorite products? This is mine. I put this shit on every fucking #manicure that isn't cured, be it polish, wrap, stickers, waterslides, regardless of brand. Shown here w wraps.

Allergies are really trying to do me in, but our #bellydance circle will dance in costume tonight, so I identified the turquoise accents I needed. Because I will dance and celebrate if it is the last thing I do.

Another chuckle related to cats

Neither one of us liked small dogs or would ever have gotten a small dog until #Neville . I personally am a herding dog fanatic. But we adore this little terror bag of Tibet as I call him. His life is good. But if you could put me in a soundproof room with no cameras w someone who abandoned an animal, I would do serious bodily harm.

The End

I usually make myself a smoothie for lunch. Today, I did the mind trick edition.

Somebody on Facebook posted this T shirt that states the obvious and I wanted to share it here

Mainstream beauty advice: Middle-aged women are to avoid dark lipstick because it makes them look older.
Me: But I like it. Also, it matches the bleeding spreading in my eye. Also, fuck mainstream beauty advice.
(My eye is going to be fine, btw. This is part of what is considered normal.)

Eye implant update: After all went smooth and beautiful in March, it did the opposite yesterday. I have quite a bit of blood, and the pain was also a bit out of the ordinary. Plus the whole thing offered no explanation for why I have lost further depth perception and why I am now losing hand-eye coordination. Or how tf I got contact dermatitis in the other circle of the left eye. But the little fucker is in there, steroids are flowing, meds updated. Bumpy terrain, as per usual.

Happy #Caturday from #Jambalaya who is clearly not right in the head. Neither are we, his Pawrents. He walked up w another cat's nail / claw sticking out of his head and our first response was to try and get a picture. Only then did we help him. He is fine, btw. #CatsofCoSo

Eyes slowly coming back into focus after the procedure (which for some reason was a lot more rough than usual) and I find Emperor #Neville having a meeting with Queen #Lepke . I believe we are doomed. #DogsofCoSo

Going dark / be back in a bit / see you tonight - off to do the eye thingy, wearing funny shirt for grins. Reason for shirt is a blur above my right shoulder if you know what you are looking for.

Good morning CoSo!
Today is implant day - every-three-months solid state steroid pellet going in my partly blind left eye. So I need fierceness to get through it and I will be unable to read for the entire afternoon. I am taking fierceness into the procedure room in the shape of my #manicure . Because nail polish is not an issue for procedures where you are not only not asleep, but you are not even sedated.

I *was* going to work out. #Neville got grumpy that there might be a chance that I would be a less soft pillow for him, so he threw the full grump into a tackle. I remain soft and pillowy, he remains grumpy, but there are photos. #DogsofCoSo
