Health insurance was affordable and covered most medical expenses.

@PhoenixSerenity laser lights aren’t just for cat toys. Just saying.

@PhoenixSerenity nicely done.

@PhoenixSerenity that sounds amazing.

@beadsland @PhoenixSerenity @GinevraCat I try to be hopeful but I’m old and I’m tired. Add in the folks here who insult boomers for sport and I just can’t some days.

@KentuckyConjurer @jacklaridian meh, most of them are McWiccans and armchair occultists.

#NoKings in Augusta had about 4000 folks, and an entire 8 MAGA supporters counter protesting.

@jeffowski because I don’t bother with unoriginal ones?
Weird take.

@alexadeswift @jeffowski Honestly I find sweeping generalizations about any group of people that’s lumped together because of age , race , color , religion , sex , or gender et Al irritating. It’s lazy thinking .

@jeffowski as a boomer this is annoying. Seriously, my town has more millennials that are Fox loving MAGAs than not, while the boomer population is all old hippies and punks.
Also, the only video games boomers kids had were tamagotchis and CD roms that you popped into a dell tower and hoped you didn’t need a bat file to run. Internet was dial up.

So we have people getting disappeared off the street , royal families giving our leader luxury planes , some kind of high end bitcoin floating around the Oval Office , and folks dying for lack of medical care and hey hey hey looks like we are on the way to third world status.

#spring snake family in the compost heap is awake , birds are crazy for love , peepers are singing their hearts out for hookups , and my sinuses are both blocked and streaming.
Yay spring.

@Stevenheywood @me_valentijn @GottaLaff for all we know that’s already happened.

#Today wind was rough, barely managed two miles but as the dog had a lack of enthusiasm it was OK. Almost 67 (next week)and starting to feel it these last few months. Joints aren’t what they were and arthritis is a bitch kitty. It’s weird, getting older is a series of compromises, body let me do this today and I will do that. I will forgo salt and sugar and an Advil will get me through a long hike. Turmeric and CBD cream will allow my yoga practice.

The birthdays of the old require such candles

#today an old friend passed. #BobRivers the guy who did the #TwistedTunes songs, who was a DJ out of Seattle for years and had more fun living his life than anyone else I’ve known died after a long battle with esophageal cancer. Battle? More like arm wrestling to be fair because he knew there was no winning, but holding to a draw gave him time for his dozens of projects and hobbies.
Never thought the guy I’d get high with would get famous, felt kind of weird to be honest.

He was never an asshole about it though. Drove a 20+ year old pickup truck he kept running with duct tape, gum, and profanity. Lived in no name jeans and sneakers. If you asked him what the best things ever were ( something we’d frequently do when we talked ) he’d say meeting Lisa, having his kids, and getting walk on parts in two Star Treks.
He was genuinely kind and funny and I’m going to miss him.
Shine on you crazy diamond.

@hellomiakoda @jag0325 @socprof @Scienceisnotopinions @JonChevreau I will never understand why caring what happens to other people is so difficult for so many people.

@blogdiva satire becomes believable when the world loses its mind.

@GossiTheDog the uniquely American tragedy of buying into your own brand so hard that you believe you can’t fail.

@glynmoody the ones who understand the threat are the ones trying to figure out how to have it fill their pockets and put them in power.
