Please stop asking for my Twitter name. It's unfortunate none of you got to Twitter sooner, but it's really not my problem.

I’m just going to leave this right here.
This is insane. This woman’s health insurance company is using AI. And it’s denying her claim for her annual physical.

I spent the morning writing and moving around houseplants. I’ll spend the afternoon reading and watching college football…because it’s finally that time of year again. 🏈🎉.

The Senate gave final passage to a bill that gives U.S. health officials authority to revamp the system that supplies organs to desperately ill people.

Holidays involving fireworks are usually a stressful affair around here. So far tonight, it seems like we may have found a solution that doesn’t involve a long drive to the middle of nowhere to try to escape the noise. Padded noise-cancelling headphones for 𓃡…I ❤️ technology.

To be clear, I do my best not to engage with trolls on any social media platform. Twitter death threats for my mere existence taught me that lesson years ago. ☕️.

Some women commented with what worked for them, but the men…wow. They were armed with their actually’s and their criticisms of me personally. I was even told by one that I was the reason Trump was elected in 2016. The outright laugh that I had at that one… 🤣🤣🤣.

I decided to revisit Post and do some exploring during this latest Twitter meltdown. I posted there about what I found both better and not-as-good about that experience. The men of Post showed up with a quickness. How fucking dare I have a different experience than theirs. 🙄.

The orca have had quite enough of our bullshit, and I certainly can not blame them.

Scientists think a traumatized orca initiated the assault on boats after a "critical moment of agony" and that the behavior is spreading among the population through social learning.

A story time thread worth reading.
THREAD: A STORY: When I was working for the Department of Veterans Affairs as the supervisor of the San Diego VA Health System Call Center as a GS-9, I wanted to create a monthly customer service award. Kind of like an “employee of the month”. 1/.

Hey, Tennessee, this is not what a democracy looks like. @CSexton25, you in particular should be ashamed of yourself. @TNHouseReps @tnsenate.
Tonight as Tennessee House Republicans push forward to schedule vote on our expulsion, Speaker Sexton orders the gallery cleared as crowd chants “fascists.”. Media forced out at as well. Then, Rep. Lafferty (R-Knox) pushes me and grabs my phone. This is a sad day for Tennessee.

Turkey was eschewed for a prime rib Thanksgiving here at Maison Menagerie. Dog agrees enthusiastically with this choice.
