Human being trying to make the best of this moment while doing my part. I’m also a writer & editor, and trying to keep up with Strider (my GSD).
This year started with a full plan to complete writing my manuscript, launch a website & workshop, and earn 1.5 certificates. Instead, in April, I suddenly became a mom to an athletic toddler. All my carved out plans for the year went out the door. While I did earn 1 certificate, I didn’t complete my MS, website, workshop, etc. But, I have learned so much about myself through both unsuccessful and successful dog training.

To exhaust this boy of mine, I must exhaust myself.
I am tired of the chaotic dysfunction brought on by the constant social pressure to draw attention, to create uninhibited negative change, to compare the haves with the haves-not, to promote hate, to stoke fear, to act ruler over all. So I deleted my bird account today. Scratch that: I deactivated it. 
Why can’t we delete it?
I’m here because I want to be part of a community that fosters individuality & positive change, encourage differences & friendliness. Reminds me of 90s chat forums.
@steveroy * Correction: my left AirPod stopped working after a year. It’s only taken my two more years to be fed up with it to finally do something about it!

Maybe if we start calling our body parts gun-sounding names like “revulva” or “shooterus” the GOP will stop trying to regulate them.

@humantransit I had a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) done after surgery (postop issues). I grew up learning about all kinds of animals, what with having wanted to be a marine biologist. So, when the doctor showed me animal pictures, I answered.

- The elephant was not just an elephant, it was an Asian Elephant.
- The alligator was actually a crocodile.

Said doctor had never heard a patient so accurately label the animals getting a mini lesson on animal identification.

Since the Fail Whale seems to have purchased Twitter, I'm here to see what this is all about. 500 characters?! Luxurious.
Mike Pence is an example of toxic Christianity. We should have freedom of religion, yes, but we must also ensure freedom *from* religion. Your religious freedoms don’t give you the right to deny freedoms or civic participation to others. Period.

I love spiders. I enjoy watching them move in the wilderness. Key word: wilderness. Not in my house. When found, they will humanely be trapped and released.

@steveroy recently watched a video on the tv. Suddenly there was an enormous effing spider with all its big babies scuttling out of the nest. I screamed and I think I ran away. If I had watched it outside, I would have been fine. I’m certain of that. But it was in my house.

I think their speed, uncontrollable by me, is what freaks me out.
