We don’t have robot cars yet but the smoke is bad here in Virginia.

A divided road with vehicles driving down it and lots of trees on either side and in the median. The sky is a hazy gray yellow. Smoke hangs heavy in the sky and obscures trees in the distance.

And this one is still my favorite. As a child, my brother and I would play this on the record player in my grandparents basement when my dad was living there after our parents divorce. It brings so many fond memories.

The cover of Linda Ronstadt’s album Canciones de mi Padre. Linda wears a traditional Mexican women’s top with a flowing red skirt while sitting against a walls her head resting on her hand and her hair in braids. A guitar player dressed in white and wearing a sombrero stands behind her. Next to her is a large pile of blooming roses in many colors. The sky behind them is dusky and navy blue, dotted with stars.

I think my neon green hair was scaring recruiters so I went to red/orange. Maybe it’ll help? lol

I think I’ll consider this my new Fourth of July shirt.

A woman in a kelly green t shirt holds it so the message can be read. The shirt says “black history is American history” in all caps.

Ridiculously matchy matchy today. Green and purple everything. School talent show is tonight and we’re going to support one of my oldest’s bffs. I love going to my kids school/daycare because little kids give the best compliments. 🤣💜💚

Beautifulllll! The last time my hair was long I had it like that but with green and it loved how it looked — including when it was in a pony tail or braids.

This summer we will make memories and spread joy. We will gather with our friends and family and community to make stronger connections. We will teach our children about the importance of caring for others. And it can start in our own backyard with our neighbors.

My 15 year old senior dog is nearly deaf, has dementia, and wanders away these days. We joke about silver alerts when he tries to do it. Thankfully he’s not fast enough to get away from us.

So nice! I love moss. Here’s a moss photo I took in Scotland a couple weeks ago at Dunnottar Castle.

Moss and small plants on a castle ruin wall in Scotland with the sky outside the window in the background. Taken at dunnotar castle.

I know the feeling. 25 hours until I see my Gordie! ❤️

An elderly gray and white dog lounges on his plush green bed in front of a window. He has a blankie with him and his ears are perked up as he looks quizzically across the room.

My boys wore kilts for their cousins wedding today. 😍🥹😭

My old man Gordie says hello Daisy! He turned 15 in December.

I saw so many like this in the little town I’m in up in Scotland. Front page after front page.

Scottish rainbows. 💚🌈

View out a front window of a van that shows a roadway in Scotland with spring trees starting to bloom. The sky is blue with fluffy clouds and a rainbow is visible in the sky in the distance.

Thanks! I actually freaked out the republicans handing out pamphlets outside of the polling office. 🤣 Whoops. This is pretty typical of my personal style but I forget it’s odd.

DID THE THING. Go out and vote Virginians!!! We can help save the country from a madman.

We shut the blinds. He opens them. He has a bed in front of this window.

The window at the front of a house. The blind is mostly shut except the lower portion where a very elderly dog has lifted it up to keep an eye on the neighbors.

Finally got my hair back to acid green. It has become my hair happy place when for so long it was either blue or purple.

Scottish nephew-to-be whose friends dressed him as a MAGA cult member for his stag party. Because America is a joke to other countries.

A Scottish man dressed up as a MAGAt. He’s wearing obnoxious American flag clothes with a TP USA shirt and a MAGA hat. He also has an American flag cape glasses and other accessories. He’s standing in front of an American flag and a right wing militia type flag.

We do have this really old dog that we smoosh our faces in though. He’s 15 so he’s mostly decorative.

Leslie@feralleslie· Mar 24

My oldest turns 6 today! I made him a cake. I’m a better cook than a baker but for a first attempt at a layered cake I’m pretty proud of it. So cute! The one I make for the party will be even better. #lego #cake

I’ve got mine in the refrigerator.

A bottle of Veuve champagne with sharpie on it that says “for the day it happens”

Leslie@feralleslie· Feb 22

It got us all. Also don’t drink and drive assholes! This was my car after a drunk driver totaled it. I’m lucky I was just injured.

Leslie@feralleslie· Feb 22

Agreed. This is from when I was hit by one in 2011. I still have chronic pain and even though I got a settlement for the accident, I wish even more that it hadn’t happened at all and my shoulder wasn’t fucked for life.

Aww. My dog looks like he could be that dog’s grandpa! (Gordie is 15.)

Thank you! 🩷

Hi. Just wanted to say I understand feelings of grief, nihilism, and lack of sense of purpose. You’re not alone. 🩷 Also here’s a picture of my dog, Gordie, waiting for me to come back upstairs. He’s ancient but adorable.

A large fluffy elderly dog waits at the top of a set of stairs. He’s laying on the floor so you only see his face and his front paws.

Liam is home!!! 😭❤️ Thank goodness. We need to keep the pressure up though. If we knew Liam was being mistreated, imagine what’s happening to the kids we don’t know about.
