Father's Day moment, that made me giggle

You want to hear a funny one for Father's day? I was going to the store really quick cuz I forgot to get cat food. And the guy on the corner is tearing up his old deck and so there's a bunch of wood on the corner. Looks like redwood actually in good condition at least not too fucked up. I saw him out there and I stopped and asked him if he was going to throw it away and if I could come over and maybe get some of that wood. He said yeah we chatted for a minute.


As I drove away I burst into laughter and realized just how much I am Bill Marsh's daughter! "Yeah yeah that wood looks okay we could still use that for something"...
😜🥰

My dad was the king of repurposing recycling and making things out of scraps! He may be gone but I still have his workhorses and other things in my garage that he left there from working on my house years ago. And yes, I intend to go grab some of that wood and use it in my yard!

I just love the fact that my father still lives on in me in so many ways. And as much as I have teared up today missing him I can hug myself and talk to him on the other side and remember that he taught me so much...

I'm in NorCal between sac and Reno

I sent a volunteer form to resist NorCal. But I'm wondering what other organizations should I reach out to?

I may not be able to march, but I'm not a bad writer and I was a journalist for several years. I would love to be able to put my words into some action! So if anybody's got some links to share or some direction in my region I would be greatly appreciative!

Still debating going to No Kings... I really wanna support, but scared to go alone, and I'm disabled....

I have a walker with a seat, so I could probably make it for a minute... But I'm also not sure about going by myself. I think it will be a lot of familiar faces and locals and maybe even hispanic families I have loved as I worked in schools etc...

I really wanna show solidarity... Mostly I'm afraid of my physical limitations and being alone is not good when you're not able to run...

Our police aren't usually agressive...but we also have the area for gathering right next to the highway and people will be trolling and throwing things at cars could happen, or vice versa. Can't talk about it in our local FB group without being screamed at and insulted by magas, they have to turn off comments.

Who's doing what tomorrow??? Should I just bite the bullet and go?

Just saw this on *Instagram...

I don't know if I am allowed to post the link, but basically...

It's a female marine in full gear speaking out against being pawns and asking her fellow marines and service members to use their conscience and defend the PEOPLE!!!

I need more of this!

So much therapy, so much self-work, so much struggle..

I've managed to navigate these past 6 months since being attacked by my ex pretty damn well. I dug deep with the therapy and I still plan on doing more, I've pulled myself up by the bootstraps and decided to relaunch my business and get back into doing sound healing therapy and doing what I know I'm good at. I just feel like I'm finally coming out of the woods and getting to a place where I can start to bloom again! And now all this shit is happening in the country and it pisses me off. How am I supposed to do this? How am I supposed to keep moving forward and make something work for myself in my life, when the rest of my country and the world is falling apart? I mean, I know that I can't do anything to fix it. And I know that until the shit really hits the fan I should just continue doing what I'm doing. But it's just so frustrating to have come so far finally after 55 years of struggle and feel like I'm on the brink of success..


...and then fascism happens. It's bullshit. And I'm pissed. 🤬🥺

You know when you SAY you're gonna have a chill easy day...and then...

as you start to write down your "list," you think... "well, THAT doesn't look very chill at ALL..."

LOL that's where I am at today.

Launch/Farmer's Market is tomorrow and I am doing it ALONE! So I am "gently" going to pack the car today...hauling the canopy down the stairs will be the BIG OOMPH...(hoping a cute hippie guy will be able to help me on the other side!)
I gotta finish labels, get the sandbags, make sure the cooler is prepped, double check my website is clean since I'll be handing out biz cards etc...

My rheumatologist prescribed me steriods for my hands cuz the arthritis is off the hook right now...but I am going to wait to take those till AFTER this weekend!

Have Trial on Friday @ 1:30...I finally get to testify against my ex who tried to strangle me (more than once!)...Signed divorce papers yesterday! Judge should stamp it by today/tomorrow.

Looks like MAYYYYYYbe this broken-down barge that is my LIFE might be turning around and getting some relief It's hard to try and launch something new and feel good about my personal triumphs when the crap is hitting the fan elsewhere. I can only hope things stay relatively stable enough so I can make a go of it... Seems like the ultimate irony...at 55, I finally get a grip on my LIFE, and then the world falls apart! :eyeroll:

Do we have a post of Democrats responses to the Federal takeover of CA...? (Not just Newsom...?)

I dont have the cable news so I am just seeing bits and pieces on social media...

I saw the Union President Huerta was released.
But have any other Dems said anything...? How about other Blue State governors? I know that there's also ICE protests in Houston and other places...where's the noise?
Is everyone just waiting till Saturday 6/14...?

Is there a thread I missed somewhere?

Saw on Aaron Parnas' Instagram, Glendale cancels ICE contract...

He read a letter published by the City of Glendale CA...it has canceled it's cooperation with ICE and refused to allow them to have a detainment center in the city...
This is interesting because more cities are turning their back on the Feds...

Here's a link to his substack, where he covers more than that... also foreign reporters hit by rubber bullets etc...

Just tried a microdose shroom gummy...

only 2.5 mg of lion's mane...suposed to help with brain fog and such.

We'll see if anything actually "happens"

Having my usual morning coffee and toast etc...

I guess I'll check back in an hour or so and report if I feel any different.

Has anyone here done the microdose thing??
