Big hugs to you, my friend.

And a Maude pic for good measure.

@publichealthguy1.bsky.social @colincarlson.bsky.social thought you'd get a kick out of this.

Maude was checking herself out and pawing at her reflection all through my zoom therapy, as if to go, “Who’s that pretty kitty?”

As someone currently grading papers, I am visualizing a lot of red ink when reading this, and cringing at our government's inability to manage basic syntax, especially when announcement things like US casualties. Imagine being their family and seeing this shit.

It would be funny if the Administration backtracked on the Markwayne Mullin nomination with the simple explanation of, "That was a misspoke."
