it's been so hot and so humid lately but today was GORGEOUS so i walked into the square, had a kong dog (which is kind of like a corn dog but not quite), asked tamalinn if she wanted to join me. she did so we got ice cream, walked A LOT, and said hi to many cute dogs. and then i came home and sat on the front porch because i guess i hadn't gotten enough ( Read more... )

you know the pic of our tiny cucumber plants i posted a couple weeks ago? they're GROWING. ( see? )

in the "welcome to the handmaid's tale" department, half the us can now kiss reproductive rights goodbye, as the supreme court overturned roe v wade today. it's the first time in the history of the country that scotus repealed a right that most people actually support. and justice roberts was whining just last month about how people don't trust ( Read more... )

i'm watching the finale of outer range and it's very, very weird. just so you all know, if you have prime and were interested in it. it's deeply strange ( Read more... )
