It’s great, we have weed and tacos.

I’m finding the sky backdrop in front of the actual sky to be pretty amusing.

A friend of mine posted this sign from last weekend’s rally in Boston and I LOVE IT.

I observe the activity in a mostly conservative FB group, and one man posted something to the effect of “defunding Planned Parenthood will make a nice down payment for that wall!” I then submitted MIT’s Tech Review’s 38 billion estimate alongside PP’s 554 million yearly Fed contribution, and as if by magic ran him…

The current plan is to take the money out of their foreign aid budget. In other words, to build a wall to stop drugs, that won’t stop drugs, they’re going to cut the money going into law enforcement and agricultural re-development, the stuff that actually stops drugs.

The time to buy is AFTER the economy is ruined. Have you learned nothing since 2008?

Oooh, I’ll co-sponsor your event, but it has to be on Christmas Day, not Christmas Eve or any other Christmas-adjacent day, because otherwise it’s not really Christmas, and mom would be alone on Christmas if we didn’t have it ON CHRISTMAS DAY.

Information on prenatal health and pregnant women and infant care is a constantly evolving practice — and, I’ll say it: philosophy — that changes practically from year to year. You’re right, in our mothers’ generation the prevailing practices would be practically unheard of now, such as smoking during pregnancy or…

Goddamnit, the fucking “Say Merry Christmas Again” just makes me want to say Happy Hanukkah and Happy Kwanzaa to everyone I pass when walking down the street except I live in Los Angeles and people here wouldn’t be offended (In fact, a lot of people would probably smile and say thanks even if they don’t celebrate…

I’m surprised his sons weren’t on hand for the tree cutting so they could proudly pose with its lifeless trunk.

Voting for who you believe in doesn’t absolve you from being told that your candidate was a wasted vote and had no shot.

I’m not a religious person in the slightest but I am actively praying that harm is done to those Rust Belt people. And Republicans. Anyone who who is responsible for the Trump presidency.

And the only time I ever cried about it was when a family member let everyone know that he thought women who got abortions deserved to burn in hell.

THE SWAMP WAS ANGRY THAT DAY MY FRIENDS

The dwindling numbers are evident here in the US as well. When I was a kid, we could easily see Geoffrey towering over the other shops in the strip mall from at least a couple blocks away.

Here’s mine from Botswana. Not the best picture, but it was the first giraffe I’d ever seen in the wild. I got hundreds of better, closer giraffe pictures over the next two weeks, but this one was special because it was my FIRST GIRAFFE. Our safari started as a “walking safari,” and we were just walking along in the…

Same. I feel like a Kurt Vonnegut character who he described as a “malfunctioning machine”.

My town has a Giraffe Conservatory where we feed them small children,

Every day I go to bed angry, and wake up angrier.

Or maybe life is full of amazing things beyond counting; made all the more valuable because we are so brief.
