Our sweet Lucy has stopped eating and has a hard time walking. She wants to go, and we will help her do so later today. She hates going to the vet, so this afternoon, a wonderful home-visiting vet will gently guide her out of this life. 😥

@EsaiasGuthrie @beccacamping_ She went there. And not to the “mansion yards.” She casually tossed off the N word. If she plops that turd into a “friendly text”. imagine how many times a day she uses the word. And it’s *INSIDE HER* 24/7. Monsters really do walk among us. In various disguises. HOLY S**T! 😳.

I’m watching SNL; wanted to put my feet up on the ottoman. Scooter, a formerly-feral swingin’ tomcat currently transitioning to happy, calmer indoor cat (not yet neutered; that’s next on his feline dance card) made it clear that he wanted the ottoman. He got no argument from me.

@PoodlernTracy @shesingsforfree I’m with you. I always had short hair. Now I have long hair. It’s my hair, my head, my body - and BTW, SCOTUS: my uterus. Not to change the subject, but damn.😢.

@paintsoundpress @pgiubilo @JohnPerkins33 I was double-vaxed when it hit me in the English countryside. 3 weeks of YUCK. I should have INSISTED on the booster before flying to the UK. Live + learn. If, like me, you do live, that is. Non-hospital COVID may not kill you. It just feels like it could. And that’s scary.

@EsaiasGuthrie @puukingg Her husband *is* the Chief of Police - she left out this part: he wears his “Chief o’ Police” costume *only* when they’re “attempting physical intimacy” - The “Chief” likes it when she wears the “UnderAge Naughty Schoolgirl” outfit. Safe word is OUCH! A good time is had by none.

@alisongrinter @tgordonvideo Insanity. They CLEARLY need a biology lesson. I’ve had two ectopics. Not viable. Never going to be viable. But both could have killed me. I’m staunchly pro-choice. But ectopics don’t even belong in the discussion. Women have sovereignty over our bodies. Ought to be a LAW. 🙄.

@RavMABAY I could not sleep that night. Two people close to me said they’d voted for Trump because they “just couldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton.” . That was the beginning of upside-down, crazy, WHAT THE HELL?! - time for me. I knew it would be bad. Just not this bad. 😢.

@MysterySolvent A gift card to have his balls waxed in an cozy mountain chalet, by a large, oiled-up muscular, male *esthetician* clad only in dental floss and gladiator sandals. Oh, wait! I thought you asked “What did Mike Pence WANT Mother to give him for Christmas?”.

@DanRather I just remembered: during a particularly challenging time in our country, you spoke to us. At the end of each broadcast, you looked into the camera, and said a word we all needed to hear: “Courage.” You took some guff for it. It helped keep me hopeful and sane. Grateful to you!.

@MMike1959 Let her choose to come to you. Cats call the shots. Our Lucy LOVED to sleep on our beds + enjoyed “bedtime cuddle hour.” Initiated by Lucy. Of course. She LOATHED being held and wasn’t happy being a *lap cat* - she lived a very long life. I miss her every damned day. Sweetheart.

@Wannapik @kenolin1 Abortion: one of the hardest choices a woman may face in her entire life. But see, that’s the thing: it is *her* body and therefore, her choice. There aren’t enough ketchup-splattered little plastic “babies” angrily thrown at these women by “pro-life” groups to change that fact.

@JoRo_______ No, you don’t have to ask. You have to honestly ask yourself why you’re so hung up on this non-issue that you feel the need to *share* your non-problem on Twitter, where - of course - you know you’ll get angry-booped. So: why so rigid + controlling? And don’t blame religion.

@MsCitizen2U IMO, the expression “the N word” is a socially-acceptable way of saying “n*******.” It’s a dehumanizing term either way. Should it be mentioned in history classes? Absolutely. Any w person in 2022 who feels free to use the original term? I get it. You’re a racist.

@crazygood1956 “In her car”: 😳. Eating several feet away - and these days, outdoors - is for everybody’s safety. My 90 year old mom + her lifelong friends take folding chairs to a park. They bring their own food and they stay the hell away from each other. So they yell a little! They’re alive!.

@FIESTYSISTER72 I love and trust the guy. I was double-vaxxed when I got COVID-19 - while in Great Britain, early December. I’ve never been so sick for so long - but no hospital. (Am boosted now) I’m planning on wearing my N-95 until I feel comfortable without it, no matter what anybody says. ❤️.

@FirstInMyFam RUN! This is the kind of thing my former *boyfriend* says. I dated him when I was 21, + DECADES later - He started to get weird. Listened to Limbaugh; chortled at climate change. It got worse. Every conversation, he would say: “I’d like to play Devil’s Advocate here”… Pass.

@maxalbanese My mom. She’s healthy, 90 + triple-vaxxed, wears her KN95 - + doesn’t take creepy chances in indoor spots. She’s allowed to leave to play tennis twice a week. Perhaps I’m being too strict, but based on *my* COVID experience, (😱), I’m willing to take a little heat. Kids today! ❤️.

@jenga_ca @gutgremlins @pelleggi2 Ectopic pregnancies are always terminated, because there is no viable fetus there. And if they are not terminated (usually with a shot of methotrexate), the woman can die. It’s not a choice a woman makes. It’s done to save her life.

@kathrynresister Her restaurant (located in RIFLE, COLORADO), Shooters Grill, features an all-female waitstaff - each server carrying a loaded gun in a holster. Because you need a gun to haul food from the kitchen to a table of barbecue lovers. She’s got problems - understatement.

After Trump nattered on years ago about what a Biden Presidency would “look life,” he went on to say that Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas would disappear. I’ll give him this: he’s never stopped consistently lying. Credit to Jimmy Kimmel. All sane Americans: Don’t give up.

@40Zetrel @sandiegozoo So-called *exotic* wild animals, most in danger of extinction, are regularly slaughtered by poachers, “trophy hunters” and other sub-human individuals. Rhinoceros horn is considered to be an aphrodisiac in China. One worth paying for. Zoos are both sad + necessary.

@cdanieltideman It’s not rude to say something nice to a stranger, as long as you have no expectations as far as how they’ll respond. They might be having a horrible day. Hearing something nice could cheer them up - or send them over the edge. I like to think the former. 🤗😀💙❤️💕.

Ultimate #TBT! Yours truly around 19 years old, without makeup (or eyebrows, apparently), with a then-unknown Patrick Duffy. He was here doing Shakespeare in repertory at The Old Globe. Within a year, he was cast in (anybody remember?) MAN FROM ATLANTIS. Then some show set in TX.
