Remember when we all used to clap every night to thank doctors, nurses, scientists, and public health workers for saving lives?

Thanks to disinformation, people in these professions are now frequently threatened and attacked. There is no way society can keep functioning like this.

So last week or so, gassing up, my car got the best “compliment” I’ve ever gotten, & TBH probably the best it is EVER going to get in my life.

A 7-8 yo kid basically lost their mind seeing it

It was just adorable & if it made their day like their mom said, so much the better - it sure made mine 😂

I knew #cats could have their blood pressure taken, but it only just occurred me today to look up photos of it, and they are even better than I imagined.

Not only do they have tiny blood pressure cuffs, they can take their pressure either on their legs or on their TAILS‽

Welp, looks like the roll of the dice didn’t work out for me; 16 months in & the repaired screen on the 2018 iPad crapped out (half the screen is blacked out)

8 years was a decent run

So, new iPad time, ah well:

So…the volume buttons change sides when you rotate it? What witchcraft is this?!?😂
