@Fragglemuppet “Comfort shows” I’ve seen a hundred times. A mug of hot chocolate. Petting my cats. Lipton noodle soup. The song “Little Wonders”. The Oodie my husband bought me. Watching trees sway in a breeze. Naps. The original animated “Beauty and the Beast”. Hot stone massages. Jigsaw puzzling while listening to podcasts. Heated electric blankets.
@Fragglemuppet hear me out…what if *not* smashing things is more worthy of feeling guilty? After all, by patronizing a smash room, you are supporting the business and helping them achieve their dream! It’s what any good person would do! 😉
@Fragglemuppet I am TERRIBLE about drinking plain water. But I have discovered that, for some reason, I will drink more water through a straw than I will by sipping from an open top. Not sure if that might help or not, regardless of flavor?
@Fragglemuppet I’m sorry. I think I feel like that often lately. Unfortunately, I don’t expect much from other people anymore. But when that coldness becomes too strong, I try to practice an act of kindness toward someone else, and it will help. I try to remember that I can’t control what other people put into the world, but I can choose what I do, you know?
If you need some levity today, please enjoy these memes I came across re: the DC Sandwich Hero. (They are not mine)
By the way, said Hero has been released from jail until his next hearing…perhaps the judge thinks this is all a bunch of…BOLOGNA? 🤪
👉“Despite charging him with an enhanced version of an assault charge that requires bodily injury & carries up to 8 years in federal prison, prosecutors said Thursday they had no basis on which to argue he should be detained.”
Photo of my girl from last night. We have an old red pillow in our bedroom that Diamond likes to sleep on while we’re getting ready for bed. Two nights ago, Henry got there first and claimed it. Diamond was *intensely* unhappy about that. So last night she made sure she got there first. She looked so pleased with herself I couldn’t help but laugh and snap a photo. She’s such a character ❤️
After 58 years, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (#CPB) is shutting down due to trump’s funding cuts in the Big Bullshit Bill. If you ever watched #PBS, listened to #NPR, or enjoyed any other public tv or radio service, it was CPB that made it possible.
To everyone who voted for ANY republican for ANY reason last year*, this and every other horrible thing happening now is your fault. Personally and directly. Fuck you very much.
@Fragglemuppet ugh that’s the worst! Tubthumper is my nemesis!! Luckily, I am so susceptible to getting songs stuck in my head that, with a little effort, I can usually replace it with a better/more neutral/less annoying song.
…and as Tubthumper is now stuck in my head because I had the audacity to reference it, I will now focus my thoughts on the theme song to Bonanza instead. 🤪
