@sasso333 @wearehappydoggo He is with Sybille now. She has posted updates on Insta.

She was hit by a car, left unable to walk, and abandoned when she needed help the most. Her broken leg had to heal all on its own, leaving her terrified of a world that had only ever shown her pain.
When she first arrived, fear was the only thing she knew. But patience, love, and a safe space changed everything…
This week, she didn't turn away, she took her very first confident steps right toward us. 🥹
Right now, she is finding so much comfort in the other rescue dogs. It’s as if they are letting her know she is finally safe. The journey to recovery is long, but step by step, Skye is learning to trust again. 🤍

@Bombshell_Squad “I’m a lawyer.” Good. You can represent yourself in court after your arrest.

@Bombshell_Squad Another reason to avoid connecting flights if possible and by all means to avoid Frontier.

From this square, I wish to address a clear message to those who take advantage of people’s desperation, to those who organize death routes, traffic in human beings, withhold documents, exploit workers, threaten women, deceive families, and turn the suffering of others into a business. Stop! Repent! (Mk 1:15) #ApostolicJourney

This is exactly why we like @RoKhanna. If you’re not pissing off the establishment just like this, then you’re useless. If the people in power like you, you’re definitely the wrong person.

“I will tell you, over Israel, over Epstein and over Platner, Ro Khanna has inspired deep ire,” says @MarkHalperin about senior Democrats’ antipathy toward the progressive congressman from Silicon Valley, who’s emerging as a Democratic presidential contender. “I’m not talking about casual ire,” Mark says, “but deep ire on the part of many people I know. Are they gatekeepers to the nomination? Traditionally, many of them are — political operatives, elected officials and donors — but maybe Ro Khanna doesn't need the traditional folks.” @RoKhanna @LarryOConnor @melissadderosa @2waytvapp

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man.
Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.
A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching.
Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.

@according2_taz In what world does Harry know the first thing about the subjects of that film?
English
Harry' made a video message before the premiere of a Nottingham based film, about growing up in the inner-city around peer pressure and knife crime and again ended up looking like Sugar Bear from Honey Boo Boo before he had his dental implants! Uncanny.

Buttigieg: Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that there have to be nine Supreme Court justices. That one doesn't even take a constitutional amendment. It just takes a readiness to set up a court that fits this country.
We could have 13 seats matching the district structure of the federal judiciary, but also a process that makes it less partisan. We cannot have partisan warfare every time there's an opening on the court

Meghan Markle wants the world to know she’s DONE with that crappy ass engagement ring Harry gave her. Princess Diana’s tiny diamonds are not cutting it anymore.

@cenkuygur @RoKhanna If you expect a politician - any politician- to save the country, you are delusional

I want to be the first to say it, I think there’s a chance @RoKhanna saves the country.

You’re not allowed! Did you hear that? Straight from the mouths of the Democrat Party. Their attitude towards all of America. You’re not allowed unless we say you’re allowed.

You’re not allowed to watch the World Cup if you’ve ever voted against immigration.

This is where I write. Watching the World Cup with the keen interest of a betting woman while I work on my section re: death and dying. It’s not a sad book, I swear. For helpful reference I’ve included my own end-of-life wishes for my own care. Feel free to share with any boomers who refuse to accept they’re actually going to die.
An excerpt:
If God should see fit to allow me to reach an advanced age, please abide by the following non-negotiable demands.
1. If I forget who I am, who you are, what I’m doing, and where I am, you had better never do a single thing to prolong my life. UTI? Give me 20 mg morphine and a Xanax blended in an iced mocha once an hour. Fall and break a hip? Leave me alone and follow the pharmaceutical protocol above.
2. Once I reach an advanced age, I plan to engage in degenerate gambling, bingo, and intermittently heavy recreational drug use as my primary hobbies. Wheel me out into the garden, hand me a joint, and give me $100 worth of pull tabs from the bar. Make sure I make it to confession weekly (ideally sober, but buzzed is acceptable). Don’t over-complicate this.
3. If I become consistently grumpy, hook me up to ketamine drips and make sure I’m praying my rosary daily. If this does not improve my attitude, add psychedelics as needed. Vibes-based dosing is strongly encouraged.
4. Call a priest if it’s not looking good for me.
5. Pray for my soul after I die. Purgatory may take time, and I will need your spiritual pleading.
6. Enjoy the fruits of my labor. Enjoy the cabin. Enjoy the land. Enjoy it all. When I die, I plan to owe nothing and own nothing. If someone claims I owe them something, that bastard is lying.
7. Wheel me to church. It’s good for me. If I can’t behave during the service, park me in the lobby or the baby cry-it-out room (as long as I don’t scare the children with my stark raving). The parking lot is an acceptable last resort, weather permitting. The Lord will understand.
8. Do not give me vitamins. None. If my vitamin D is low, you haven’t put me outside enough. Park me by the chicken coop. Do not try to keep my cholesterol low. If something doesn’t improve my mood, take away pain, or make my day more magical, keep it away from me. Do not give me statins, or I will haunt you.
9. Remember that our souls are in this world but not of this world. I am not fighting the Lord to stay here with you fine people. I’ll see you on the other side, honey. I won’t even be done with celestial orientation by the time you arrive. I won’t have time to miss you, so don’t miss me too much. The only things in this world that scare me are the IRS, heights, and the anglerfish. I’m damn sure not scared of dying.
10. Do not feed me sugar-free, fat-free, high-fiber, low-carb bullshit as an old woman. I want baklava and expensive cheese. I want to take my pills with gin. If my doctor says this is unacceptable, fire them immediately and get me a new one, or stop taking me to the doctor altogether. Find me a shaman. Buy my drugs in Tijuana. I have always loved a good deal. Buy in bulk with pesos.
Burial Directions
First, put me in a rough cut pine box. Cut down a tree out back and make one yourself. It doesn’t need to be fancy. I’ll already be dead. Do not ship me off our small Alaskan island to be embalmed. How absolutely weird. Cut down a tree, dig a big hole with Dad’s excavator, roll me up in my prettiest tablecloth, drop me in the hole, and plant a tree (a honeysuckle would be nice). Pray for my soul and toast my life with a reasonably priced bottle of wine.
