I tend to love animals and this beauty needed a real home. Meet Lacy. She’s spent most of her life in a kennel or tied up and ignored. She was taken care of, but by no means given the love she craves. Now she has daily petting sessions, two cats to keep an eye on, and plenty of love.
GOOD GIRL
“There’s not much more I can do.” The snap of his latex gloves emphasizes his conclusion.
Her brown eyes, cloudy and sad, tell me it’s okay to let her go.
“We’ve had a good run,” she seems to say, “but I’m tired.” Her tail thumps the stainless steel table counting down the seconds of her life.
How do I say goodbye? How do I let her go? I’m selfish, I know that.
“Come on, girl, let’s go for a walk.”
I help her to the floor. Her toenails click on the linoleum. One last walk to say goodbye.
“Wow, I took out the recycles today!”
I am available as a personal trainer. You won’t lose weight, but we’ll have a lot of fun.
This birch likes list. do you? I have more…
We observed the eclipse in Casper, Wyoming. Talk about cool.
Daily Post Photo Challenge: Silence
The South Dakota landscape owns a special kind of silence, wide and endless, a package of time oblivious to people.
The prairie celebrates hardship and embraces the scars left by erosion.
When left in the silence, time devours fences and barns, old cars and roads, turning metal to rust, buildings to dust.
Eighteen-year-old Andreanna Catt from Seeding Sovereignty spoke. The situation on reservations is dire. This article doesn’t mention that 1 out of 3 indigenous women are victims of abuse, nearly twice the national average
The White House Spin
For fuck’s sake. His embrace of the Women’s March feels like the purvy cousin who used to watch us play in the sprinklers when we were kids while he chain-smoked and drank Keystone Light. Ugh.
Does he think we marched because of how good we have it? How happy we are? (Although some folks did get an unexpected vacation today. #TrumpShutdown) If so, he’s a poor judge of character and not very genius. He’s taken OUR thing and tried to take credit for it because:
Or, is Fox News telling him we were basking in his glory?
Snort. I can’t imagine a Trump supporter at the Women’s March. I think it might be against their blood-oath. (It’s what people are saying. Everybody knows it.) Not one MAGA hat in sight, although, now I need a rainbow pussy hat.
Thanks for giving us permission to “get out there.” We probably had record numbers because he endorsed us. The biggest crowds. All thanks to him. Now he’s gonna want to watch us pillow fight and make out. **See gif above**
Spin hard, spin it all night long, but you can not DROWN OUT OUR VOICE. I do thank you, Donald Trump, for uniting us. For making us better people. We will not be talked over or talk to.
Exist to resist!
That’s me in the pussy hat with my best friends. The one on the right is also my best sister. Although I quote a line from Oprah, I think my political crush puts me in Cory Booker’s corner.
Want more of my opinion? A little birch-curious? I’m not always so pissy. Try these tidbits:
I’ve been told not let my politics rule my social media profiles. It could cost book sales. Well, I say fuck that. I am going to bathe in my values because I give a shit. If what I think contributes one nanobyte to the expulsion of this president, then yeah me!
For those of you who claim you are my friend then unfollow me because you can’t stomach the shit show that is the president, well, stick your head in the stand because it’s only getting worse. Stick it down deep. Deeper. Still deeper, because that is where this president lives.
I will be outspoken here. This is my medium. I am here because I am frustrated and angry and while I will march with the women on January 20, I will also fight with my words. Sometimes it’s all we have.
Everything you need to know about the Women’s March 2018
Marketing America’s discontent worked for Trump. It’s not just the Republicans and the poor working class who are dissatisfied with the bottom line of their savings account. Assuming they have a savings account.
It’s time Democrats started fighting fire with fire. Quit being so polite.
Exist and resist.
BTW I want to hang with the birch in this image. I can only hope to ever have that much self-confidence.
Exist and Resist
