Objective reality means nothing to him. The truth is whatever he thinks up in that haunted void located directly behind those two beady, malevolent eyes of his.
To illustrate, here are some before and after pictures that I “borrowed” from a user on the ball python subreddit. Ball pythons don’t have keeled scales like your garter snake, so it’s a little easier to see the iridescence and how fresh and velvety their new skin looks right after they emerge.
Most presidents are caretakers. This one’s a squatter. That which he cannot own utterly Donald Trump seeks to destroy.
Hey, that fractured hyoid bone ain’t gonna resurrect itself. Only PedoJesus™️ can do that.
Looks like a spot on one of my favorite trail runs in the Willamette Valley, a place I call The Cathedral. 🖤🩶💚
So, what time is the rapture supposed to happen? Hope I’m not too late…
.@governorwalz.mn.gov, you are a true inspiration. 😘 💡 Gonna have t-shirts made in every color. 💡 Gonna wear one every day. 🧡💛🩵
Seemed appropriate, seeing as how eggs are a hot commodity these days. Happy Easter. 🐰🥚
How do we reconcile 2023 Neal Katyal, who expressed what a great honor it was to argue alongside his mentor @judgeluttig.bsky.social, with the Neal Katyal who has apparently sold out to the most corrupt, lawless, traitorous president we have ever had in our 248-year history as a sovereign nation?
The reasons people report the post sound as if they’re taken verbatim from recent tweets by Tesla’s crybaby in chief. Love the moderator’s response. ✨🏆✨
When my husband and I moved from the Monterey Bay Area to the PNW, people told us that either the rain would drive us crazy and we’d be back in a year, or we’d discover our inner amphibians and stay forever. It’s been 24 years this May. We tried to leave once; it was a disaster. Never again.
Thank you! Love discovering new plants for the garden while it’s still the dead of winter. 🧡
My mom encouraged me to try weed when I was a teenager. Said she thought it would be good for me. She was a lifelong alcoholic and chain smoker. Her position was that people *will have their addictions* and that weed was less destructive than alcohol and cigarettes.
When I realized how much I missed your posts and followers, I set out to find you here on Bluesky. So glad we’ve all found our way to the same warm, safe gathering place. 🧡🕊️
I’ve always had my doubts about AARP, but your post inspired me to check to see whether I was scheduled for auto-renewal. Yep. Cancelled my auto-renewal and they wanted me to explain why. Well, since you asked… 😈 I was only too happy to give them a piece of my mind (see image). Thanks, Bill.
“And that my veins don’t end in me but in the unanimous blood of those who struggle for life…” Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. 🕊️🎄🤍
