i love your sketches BC the sheep are so cute. i also liked the sheep figurines you posted a while back.

the people with the money to buy politicians want to criminalize being poor. so cities install spikes do keep unhoused people from being able to rest. removing benches to punish unhoused people also punishes everyone else who uses those spaces. but what do they care. more important for billionaires to not have to see the "poors" in San Francisco. the incentives aren't in place to make the world better for those of us who can't afford to buy politicians. as long as people with the most money make the rules we'll never get mass transit or real protections for disabled people. or any of us really. if it doesn't build "shareholder value" it won't happen under the current status quo. it can be done. we just need the will as a society to make it happen. i do believe a better world is possible. it's why i complain so much

i think tech can be made to help people. but not under the current tech leadership. most of that is scams lately. maybe tech designed for and by disabled people would be a better solution?

@shockponie i hope your husband can get some help

aww, what a sweet kitty

mockingbirds get so protective while they're nesting, BC. it's cool that they knew you weren't a threat.

the birds are out here too I saw a couple of robins and bluebirds. i've been hearing mourning doves and mockingbirds singing too.

PBW, that sounds like Fall in Texas

work is still annoying me and my leg hurts. i think i need to start stretching every day.

maybe someday i'll be able to afford to take a year off and work on my own stuff.

i'm just feeling really down and blah today. not anything specific. i think it might be hormonal but i'm not in a good headspace.  i have calls coming up too and i don't really feel up to it. i can't put them off though.

We watch Animal Control too. i need goofy shows in my life.  I also want to watch Ghosts. it looks fun and silly.

I haven't been watching too much TV lately. mostly because i no longer have a TV in my bedroom. we've been rewatching Dawson's Creek of all things. I watched it when it was first on but not since and my husband wanted to watch it. i'm enjoying the rewatch more than i thought i would. it holds up better than i remember. the dialogue can be a bit much sometimes but i still like it so far.

yeah a lot of the dramas are really heavy these days. especially the "prestige" TV stuff. i don't follow much anymore since we no longer have Netflix or HBO/Max. i listen to podcasts about politics so i know everything sucks. i need my TV shows to be escapist.

i like to rewatch stuff too. i like to watch stuff when i know there won't be any surprises that make me sad

ugh i'm not in a very good headspace today. too many calls coming up. i think i need to take some time off but i can't because i have to save that time for when family stuff comes up.

my neighbors put a couch out on the curb. it's not my personal style but it looks to be in fairly new/good condition. i'm thinking they assumed someone would take it but it's still there. i don't really care except that it rained a lot today and yesterday so now a perfectly good couch is probably ruined. it's easy to call a charity to just pick it up. that's what we did with ours.
