RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

This morning, I said we needed to go to TJMaxx to buy a new egg pan. Sean said, “cuckoocachoo.” It was the perfect example of living with someone with ADHD, and I was going to post it. I forgot before I could. Tonight, I washed the new pan and remembered. It’s me. I’m the ADD. 🤣

I like what Newsom is doing. I like what Pritzker is doing. I like what Mamdani is doing. We need all hands on deck NOW. We can worry about the presidential race LATER. Once we secure its relevance.

Last year, in an address to the Society for the Rule of Law Institute (@chkbal.bsky.social), Ambassador John Bolton warned that, if elected to a second term, Trump would abuse and corrupt the Justice Department to carry out retribution. Watch. (ht: @greggnunziata.bsky.social)

Thought maybe my psychopath father had dropped off the Tr*mp train, but a new hat was spotted today in his living room, AND he went on a racist tirade about a driver who couldn’t read English and crashed into a crowd…this tirade was during a birthday celebration, no less. Can I give him away? 🤦🏻♀️

Welp, just accidentally drank some tap water. Sean forgot…made my water…I listened to him run the water, but wasn’t paying attention. Drank a bunch, then realized… The ADD is strong in this house. Let’s hope the gut is, too. 😵💫

I’ve been good about choices…but our city has a water issue, & Chili’s had a ltd. menu. FRIES were my only choice. The skinny marg was not available, so the server finagled the regular one to cut the sugar. Dinner was fab. Then we stopped and I had a tiny pineapple basil gelato. Back on it today.
