🚱 I don’t want to resort to buying and using multiple plastic water bottles a day, but my office building’s tap water is caca and my only refill option. They won’t purchase filtered water for state employees because it’s seen as a personal benefit. Horse feathers. I’ve said for 20 years now if your employees are thirsty you should give them a drink. And they still wonder why public service can’t retain top talent.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (15 June 2021) | communitymedicine4all Elder abuse is an intentional act, or failure to act, by a caregiver or another person in a relationship involving an expectation of trust that causes harm to an adult 60 years and older.  This blog post from 2021 has some good WHO infographics and facts. Maybe I’ll share them on my LinkedIn tomorrow.

❤️‍🩹 It’s elder abuse awareness month. Today my agency director is giving a training about it. It’s grim, it’s sad, and it’s more of a problem than anyone might guess. More info: https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/elderabuse/fastfact.html

Work focus mode 🏳️‍🌈 😁

🙅‍♀️ I mean if you really think about it Whitney Houston’s first mistake was getting with a guy who’d shack up with someone named Susan in the first place #MyNameIsNotSusan #BecauseNobodyNamesKidsSusanAnymore

🤮 At the salon waiting for a haircut and they’re playing contemporary Christian country radio and I didn’t know that was a thing, and I wish it wasn’t a thing, and it’s maddening, and I’m this

My first attempt at minimalistic iPhone screens. I removed all app icons because they were a disorganized mess and since I figured I usually search or Siri for them anyway. Pete (she/her/hers) is the centerpiece. I love the depth effect with her ear.

Excuse me, sir? Ma’am? Anybody? I was just wonderin’ somethin’. Could you kindly please explain to me . . . . . . WHY IN THE HELL ISN’T THE COLOR PURPLE IN THE NATIONAL FILM REGISTRY and also HOW IN THE HELL IT GOT 11 OSCAR NOMINATIONS BUT DIDN’T WIN A SINGLE ONE? Thanks you.

Trump-Friendly Judge To Oversee Mar-a-Lago Document Trial, Dealing Potential Blow to Prosecution “Cannon’s total lack of principle, combined with her evident incapacity to experience shame, renders her a uniquely favorable jurist for the former president,” Stern wrote on Friday. “If Cannon remains assigned to this case, Trump will not be convicted, no matter how damning the evidence.”

I AM NOT A SHOE PERSON, BUT...

Ok. So. Once there was this pair of shoes I saw at Macy’s. They were men’s shoes, they were on sale, and they were allllll silver glitter everywhere with a black sole. And I wanted those shoes. I wanted to wear those shoes to work on casual Fridays and become “The Guy with Those Shoes”. I was ready for it. I’m not even I shoe person. Michael has like 40 pairs of shoes, and I have maybe 5 including flip flops and indoor slippers.

A sidewalk breakfast with this handsome fellow is sure a nice way to start the day.

🩸 Headed to the doctor’s office for some bloodwork. We’re looking at A1C to see if it’s gone down thanks to Ozempic. I’ve lost about 20 lbs. so far. It doesn’t really look or feel like it, but the numbers don’t lie, I guess.

ON PAT ROBERTSON -OR (IN EMOJI)- ⚠️⛔️✝️⛪️📺👺💥🏳️‍🌈💥🩸☠️

TRIGGER WARNING: I have a personal opinion and I’m about to express it. Oh, Pat Roberson finally croaked out his last putrid breath? I’m weeping. Pat Robertson was a dangerous and influential man who spent his life on the airwaves convincing large swaths of delusional, paying cult members that LGBTQ+ people were responsible for an imaginary demise in American values. WWJD? Pat Robertson wouldn’t have had a clue. He would’ve had me hanged or quarantined or otherwise sequestered from society if he could have.
