I was at a Bonnie Raitt concert and came home to find that Ghoulieani was back in the news. 1) sending no prayers for the Ghoul except that it’s more serious than described 2) This is some weird-ass tale; the details definitely don’t make any sense whatsoever.

Please start my week off on a positive note for the first time since November. Please let this one conspiracy rumor prove to be true.

Repugnicants love violence. GOP = Death Cult
Corgi & Bess (@bessky.bsky.social) reply parent
Sadly, this specific time, the guns were not in the school. We need to get automatic rifles off the streets and all guns out of the hands of unstable individuals. And yes, getting heartless Repugnicants out of of office is essential to stop gun violence. GOP = Death Cult.

For us, the corgi love is well worth the shedding. We've had five over the years. Love their personalities: intelligent, loyal, affectionate, eager to please, playful, rough and ready — big dogs in a small package.

Not just term limits for SCOTUS. How about enforcing actual ethics, booting justices for BS like accepting gifts/bribes such as lavish vacations and luxury RVs, or having a politically embedded spouse influence your "impartial" decisions. I'm looking at you, Clarence. You should be long gone.
Corgi & Bess (@bessky.bsky.social) reply parent
Pericles is a total love bug; he gives hugs & kisses on demand. Every morning he jumps into bad & nearly suffocates us with snuggles. He has to get his face right into ours. We all it smush face & face time. He's good at nap cuddles. Whenever someone comes over he jumps on the hugging couch for love
Corgi & Bess (@bessky.bsky.social) reply parent
He is particularly cute.
Corgi & Bess (@bessky.bsky.social) reply parent
Only two times a year... for six months at a time. If shedding is a problem, a corgi is not the best choice.
Corgi & Bess (@bessky.bsky.social) reply parent
We've usually had two at a time, but we are now traveling in a small camper van, and it's hard enough to have one in there with us!

I noticed that when we were in Minneapolis for a wedding two years ago. We went to a street fair and Peri met so many other corgis!

I thought it was a #throwbackthursday to Pericles as a puppy, but this little lookalike #corgi is Peri’s nephew, Jasper. And he’s still available as far as I know. If he’s anything like his uncle, he’s a total sweetiepie and smartypants. #corgicrew #corgisky #corgination #tbt NOT #perithecorgi

I’d suggest tapping the highlighted hashtag #corgicrew and you will see corgis galore. Then follow the ones that make you smile, and fill up your feed with corgis.

Small #veggiegarden haul. We have lots of big beautiful eggplants but so many #veggies on the counter & in the fridge we’ll wait to #harvest until we catch up on eating. Gave loads of pear tomatoes & that #cucumber to our contractor. #eatseasonal #eatlocal #eatmoreveggies #growyourown #vegan

From today’s #veggiegarden It’s mostly tomatoes, eggplant, & peppers, tho the snow peas are having a moment. Cukes are waning, still a few more to come. Need to #harvest the basil, chard & carrots real soon. Kale can wait #eatseasonal #eatlocal #eatmoreveggies #growyourown #homegrowntomatoes #vegan

Runaway #zucchini. Arm for scale. The monster goes over the fence for our wild neighbors. The other might be ok. Sad they were hiding away in the #veggiegarden using up plant energy as zuke season is wanting just as I found some great recipes. #eatseasonal #eatlocal #eatmoreplants #growyourown

Yesterday’s #veggiegarden #harvest. This is what happens with a midsummer vacation. Green beans got too big. Cherry, pear & #heirloomtomatoes galore. Literal piles of cukes & peppers: jalapeño, banana & shishitos (finally). 2nd harvest broccoli. #eatseasonal #eatocal #eatmoreveggies #growyourown

why do you need the coloring? Also, surely tomato sauce need not only be Romas and SMs.? We love making sauce from toasted cherry tomatoes. not to say that that doesn't look delicious. Are you preserving it?

They’re called bush beans because they form a bush, not climbers, they grow out, not up. Mine are more prolific than the climbers but it’s harder to find the beans because they hid one the bushes!

Wow, even chef Daniel Humm is caving to the toxic societal influence of RFK Turder and the Faux-king Pedofuhrer. I was hoping to try 11 Madison Park for a big life event (since it's super-expensive). Now I will save my $$ for the plant-based Overthrow Hospitality restaurants of Ravi DeRossi in NYC.

Or at least read Rilke's letters. They are freely available on many sites, but to get the other side of the correspondence it's necessary to buy the book.
