We recycle the boxes too. The city of Dallas actually takes cardboard. I think they just discard all the plastic.
Paralegal, writer, jewelry maker. Fat and loud. Loves cats, hates hypocrisy and wants everybody to have enough food, education and medical care. I do not read or respond to DMs.

We recycle the boxes too. The city of Dallas actually takes cardboard. I think they just discard all the plastic.
So I saw a documentary about this and now I cant stop wondering what everybody does with the leftover boxes and plastic waste from Amazon.
Yesterday I filmed this thunderstorm as it rolled in to cancel my swim.
Do you ever have GPS on and it tells you to make some impossible turn and you say, "What? No! Fuck you!"
So I had breakfast and I was having a slow draggy morning and thot that if my blood sugar wasn't too bad I'd just skip the treadmill this morning. Blood sugar was 242. Ran over to the treadmill. 180 and dropping now. Another scary alarm averted. Whew.
Well, luckily for me it's obvious to look at me that I'm fat.
Awww. Thank you! It's an interesting brain, for sure.
Finally, why does it matter what outrageous thing the Orange Shitgibbon did recently? He did outrageous things every day his whole first term. The important question is, why did people re-elect him? That's the one to answer if we give a shit about our future. Fin
Why does @kroger think I'm shoplifting after I punch in my code and they know exactly who I am? 4
- why can't a politician answer a direct question? Do they have that removed when they run for office? - how is closing library branches supposed to improve people's access? - if Jesus was such a great guy, why not aspire to be like him instead of trashing everything he stood for? 3
- Why do cats roll over on their backs but hate having their tummies rubbed? - Why forty hours and not 35 or 39 or 41? -Why haven't the space aliens opened up trade with their own planets? 3
- Why do people take up smoking? - Why don't people just wear sunscreen instead of buying pricey wrinkle cream? - How does my having a covid shot or wearing a mask hurt you? -Why haven't DC housing prices dropped? 2
Things I'm still wondering about: - If trickle down economics never worked, why do they keep reinventing it? -Why did they use "London Calling" for the London Olympics, when the song is about how much it sucks to live in London after the apocalypse? 1
You guys, my average blood glucose just clicked down to 149. I was despairing of ever getting under 150 again. Also, I've been on the treadmill EVERY morning this week. Coincidence? Probably.
But hey, they provide visibility for fat people on TV. Sort of like having the only black people on TV shilling for skin bleach.
Tie between I'm Still Standing and The Bitch is Back. Which are from two different eras, and really shows that the guy spanned the test of time.
Today is our last day in the old office space, and I don't think anything is feasibly going to get done besides packing.
We ordered a pie with our grocery order. It arrived sideways and all slid down into one section of the pie box. So okay, we have cobbler.
I think the reason I never wanted kids is what happens to you once you're pregnant. You become utterly unimportant and it's all "what's best for the baby." They will put you through any number of painful and humiliating procedures and get mad if you say no. I'm a human being, not an incubator.
Happy Catsunday! Here's Artemis.
Oh good. My 'script is about 125 pages and I just don't see it getting much longer.
I'd say late 40s too.
True.
If that's a good thing. I think we had a better chance of getting him help while he was still connected to the job. Of course, the job may have said, you get help or else and he chose or else.
I have never heard a "motherf____" out of this particular guy. So I'd say yes?
Okay.
There are 8.2 billion people on a planet that can only sustain about 2.3 billion at a U.S. standard of living. Which is what people want. So the market is correcting itself. Thais is how the free market wotks.
Awww. What cuties!!
I just called one of the attorneys because there's a deadline today and I didn't see that it was done and the attorney said "Motherf_____" and paused and said, "Not you. Thank you. Goodbye." And hung up on me. Somehow I don't think this is a good sign.
Did Epstein do little boys? If so then maybe!
You are clearly on the wrong side of Bluesky. Here, I'll block you and fix it.
That's the hope.
Awww, and slander ZuZu's memory?
Preachers That Lie?
My mom read me that passage from his book. I think my jaw literally hit my chest. We had a huge fight about it. "You should think about this, dear! No man wants what every other man has had!" Btw I'm a lesbian.
I sang Sweet's Fox on the Run at karaoke tonight.
Look at this thunderhead, willya? It's way over here by Love Field, 60,000 feet high and all by itself.
In the dead of night, Ron DeSantis ordered the rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial painted over — defacing a sacred space in the heart of Orlando that honors the 49 lives stolen in one of the deadliest massacres in U.S. history.
#TruthWarriors
That's the hope!
James Dobson has died and the world feels a little better already.
I just had a fierce battle with a bottle of eye drops that ended when I realized the lid was still on, in case you are wondering how my day is going.
1700 meters tonight. Wow.
I used to take the bus to work in San Diego. I sat as close to the driver as possible at all times. Safer that way.
Awww. I'm so sorry.
🤣🤣🤣
Dallas residents, please check out the proposed city budget. Dallas wants to eliminate 50 librarian positions and close five branches. No other department is having its budget cut and it has not been a bad year. dallascityhall.com/departments/...
Thank you! I feel very deeply for plants and animals.
I saw the new ep of In The Eye of the Storm last night on Max, about a tornado outbreak in Nebraska. Hands down the most intense tornado footage I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot). And, I don't ever wanna see footage like that again. Those folks were WAY TOO DAMN CLOSE.
I got a wasp to fly out of the house by turning off all the lights and securing the cats. I talked her through it. (Wasps understand English.) It took 15 minutes, but I got her out and nobody was stung.
True, but the Nobel wouldn't help. He'd feel great for two or three days and then he'd be back to creating chaos because that's how he gets more and more attention, which is what he wants. But it will never be enough. The man is a black hole.
Well, actually, yes, they did. We warned them.
I ran out there to get it. I slipped and almost fell four or five times getting down there. I hauled this heavy thing up the steps and realized as I got it in the door that it's plastic. I rescued a plastic plant. We still have it. Fin
So my neighbors moved out in the middle of an ice storm. They left a bunch of stuff piled on the curb, as people do. To my horror, they also left a potted banana tree. In an ice storm. 1
Dallas wants to cut 50 librarian positions and close a branch this year. And it has not, I cannot emphasize this enough, been a bad year.
So I saw Weapons yesterday. I have no idea if I liked it or not. It was suitably scary. There was something supernatural going on, which is a Jen requirement. And it ended happily, sort of. Other than that, I don't think I can explain it. It sort of has to be experienced.
So my dentist office just called me. I had a cleaning last week and dentist wants to do some work. Person asked me what work he wanted to do. I said I don't know? You'll have to ask him? Check my records? "Oh, okay. Thanks." Am I alone in thinking this was a weird conversation?
Exactly. When I go to stuff like this I always wanna use valet parking because finding parking in those garages is high stress for me. I expect to pay like $30. But $85 is crazy.
Flowers o'the week.
@twonks.bsky.social Every now and then I have to come in and heart all the Twonks. I just love them so much. Guys, please contribute on Ko-fi if you can.
I have this ticket to Lost 80s Live tonight. Whatever wild enthusiasm I had to see this concert has left the building. Today, I found out that valet parking is $85. It's hard to imagine my enthusiasm could sink any further but it is trying.
1600 mighty meters in the pool tonight. Which is what we want.
Data from a recent Williams Institute study indicates that same-sex weddings have generated an estimated $5.9 billion in spending by couples and their out-of-state guests since 2015. That's right, same sex weddings are not only fun, they are also good for the economy.
I think everybody on the support boat should have been charged with negligent homicide.
Every year I buy 2 lawn sprinklers, one for each yard. Every year, it starts raining in October and I forget I have sprinklers and I leave them outside all winter. Every year in the spring, I find two lawn sprinklers that have cracked down the middle. So every year, I buy two lawn sprinklers.
Watching Alien Earth again and I just realized they sent all those colonization ships out to habitable planets and besides the xenomorph, they didn't meet a single alien?
That is my job in the household, too. My wife handles the big creepy bugs the size of Texas that show up this time of year.
Grapes for breakfast. Blood sugar zooms to 253. 2 pop tarts. Blood sugar holding at 148. Diabetes is so weird.
According to my RingConn, I have made it to "moderately active" already today and it's just barely noon. Please clap.
I logged in this morning thinking I was late to pay the electric bill. But no, somebody set up automatic payments. I guess that somebody was me. Thank you, past me.

My opinion of the new guy has gone up considerably. He has been sick and not only is he closed up in his office, but when he does have to come out he wears a mask.
I do not read or respond to DMs. Says so in my profile. Some 🤡 posted me asking if I got his message. I told him I do not read or respond to DMs. He said, "Oh, but mine is special" and that we should "agree to disagree." What? Blocked. I do not read or respond to DMs.
Tell you what, I'll just block you. Buh bye.
I don't read or respond to DMs.
Grayson in my lap.
I'm sorry, make that 4 itty bitty briefcases. They need their other hands for their cell phones.
I just illegally evicted a spider from the house. He had been there long enough to be a tenant. He had rights. If he comes back with his lawyer, I am screwed. You can always tell spider lawyers because they have eight itty bitty briefcases.
The dreaded words have been spoken. SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW. No, I don't have any kids. But I have to drive in this town.
I'm not gonna argue that this proves the existence of God, but I will say that this was about the only thing God could have said that I would have listened to. Which just goes to prove something or other. Fin
IMMEDIATELY this voice in my head, which sounded suspiciously like my mother, said, "I showed you Buddhism. Shut up and practice it." Well, okay then. 4 Fin
I was driving while I was listening to this, but I thought what the hell, why don't I stop being cynical and ask God the same question. So I did. At a stoplight, out loud. "God, show me who you are and what you want me to do." 3
This lady said she walked into the woods and said to God, " Show me who you are and what you want me to do." And immediately, she had a life changing spiritual experience. 2
I keep on going to this twelve step group, tho I'm not sure exactly why. I'm an atheist, and my compulsive behavior problems were pretty much brought under control when I finally got medication for bipolar disorder. But anyway. Last week, we were discussing our Higher Powers. 1

Anti-fascism protest in Dallas by fedds.org
OMG you guys 🤣🤣🤣
I managed to arrive at Kroger Pharmacy during the time they are closed for their lunch break. So I am waiting 15 minutes. Once again, I am just waiting 15 minutes. Not banging on the door, yelling for customer service or demanding to speak to a manager.
I don't understand hating cops. Most of them are just regular people trying to do a difficult job without getting killed. I totally understand hating ICE.
That was a cultural exchange with my wife, who grew up in the 70s, and she loved it. (She showed me Smokey and the Bandit, which was also fun.)
He's pretty awesome in this TV series called Ancient America Apocalypse, about the origins of civilization and what we might be missing.
I was gonna block whoever sent this to you but I apparently have blocked them already. Yay past me!
I think they will pick Trump, honestly.
I posted on Threads in passing that I haven't had Covid and wow, the people who came rushing in to tell me I was "probably just asymptomatic." That reads as "I've had Covid and if I've had it, you should have to have it so you've had it even if you haven't," apparently. Some 30% are still Novids.
This may sound strange, but I haven't seen that happening.
How high does my average blood glucose have to get before I tell my doctor there's a problem? Do I have to wait until my A1C goes up? Is 30 points higher for over a month enough? Nobody told me this stuff in diabetes school. Oh wait, there is no diabetes school.
I think it's wacky that when you have dreams, you're in some other reality completely different from your own reality, and there are all these background rules and backstory, and somehow your brain just accepts this.
I loved that movie
