I keep feeding her junk food and valium in hopes of her falling asleep...so far it hasn't worked. I may resort to....corporal cuddling. I fear it will backfire. Maybe I'll just get bag a bag of kibble....

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Totally not racist. In fact, a friend died by hanging so the noose is to commemorate his death. And the flag is something about honoring the Southern tradition of Hanging flags. Or something. Totally getting blown out of proportion.... *face palm*

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... "A group of students at McGuffey High School asked students who were “anti-gay” to wear a flannel shirt and write “Anti-Gay” on their hands when they went to school on Thursday. They also circulated a “lynch list” of students who participated in the Day of Silence event and tied a noose to a flag in a classroom" A lynch list. Because wanting to murder other students is just okey dokey.

These cases cover 46 states and the District of Columbia. Defendants, along with Federal and State Prosecutors, are being notified so there can be a determination whether there are grounds to exonerate the defendants, grant new trials or pursue other types of possible relief." Fourteen people murdered because the FBI lied. Fourteen people who are beyond justice.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Um, that "flag desecration" you were going on about? About that... "The woman who became internet-famous last week when she stopped protesters from 'desecrating' the flag was demoted by the Air Force after she posed nude in Playboy -- draped in the flag."

Darlene Pineda

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... I need a Corgi. Any dog with tush skirts, drummies, and majestic poof needs to live in my home.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... I am introducing a new law, feel free to use as needed. Palahniuk's Law: The first person who mentions that you are/are not a beautiful and special snowflake loses the argument by default for having such a small and limited fucking imagination. Double extra lose if it relates to something on a spectrum and the person is trying to deny someone's status as a legit outlier.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... AWESOMENESS

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... What bollocks for brains asshats who "fought for your freedoms" forget those freedoms include burning the flag. That was probably made in China or Canada anyway. Also note that despite her carrying what could be used as a weapon AND resisting arrest at NO TIME did the police fear for their lives and, in fact, kept screaming at the Black people who were trying to get their property back and not at the white woman who stole it. Nor did they take her sorry ass. But racism in policing totes doesn't exist. Also Michelle Manhart is a disgrace.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... I found here a pair of Jimmy Choos for $300. Just saying. And hell yes I bought them.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... I have told my son this many, many times.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... And there is what we call an actual good cop....

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook...

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... No. Guess what, OTHER MEMBERS OF THE HOUSEHOLD SHOP TOO. Sometimes people shop for disabled friends or family. STOP SCREWING OVER THE POOR YOU ASSHAT!

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Oh, and here I was thinking maybe that was a job for,oh, something like a FUCKING SHERIFF?

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Reports indicate that the approach of a Portuguese-flagged container ship sent by Italy's coast guard prompted people on board the boat to shift to one side, upsetting the weight distribution and causing it to sink.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Well, good. Those cops were obviously racist pieces of crap who needed to go. Glad to see them clean house themselves. Now for the rest of the country....

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... "A Des Moines, Washington city councilwoman and former King County Superior Court judge was caught on camera assaulting a 6-year-old special needs student. Jeanette Burrage, who works as a bus driver for the Highline School District, faces charges of 4th degree assault after video showing her slapping the child’s face." Bloody fucking stumps where hands used to be.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... “You see, we need to be very clear about where the challenges in this community first started. Folks in Indian Country didn’t just wake up one day with addiction problems. Poverty and violence didn’t just randomly happen to this community. These issues are the result of a long history of systematic discrimination and abuse.” “Let me offer just a few examples from our past, starting with how, back in 1830, we passed a law removing Native Americans from their homes and forcibly re-locating them to barren lands out west. The Trail of Tears was part of this process. Then we began separating children from their families and sending them to boarding schools designed to strip them of all traces of their culture, language and history. And then our government started issuing what were known as ‘Civilization Regulations’ – regulations that outlawed Indian religions, ceremonies and practices – so we literally made their culture illegal.” Yes. That is what we did. And thank you for saying it.

Darlene Pineda

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Okay, I've had a really bad couple of weeks and this one coming up doesn't seem like it's going to be much better. Misha agrees and says "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" My core family is great, it's not that, I love them and they tolerate me (LOL) and maybe I have three baskets of laundry to fold but hey IT'S CLEAM SO YAY ME! but it's everything outside and a few people that are just slicing me. Word of advice: I don't care how angry you are or how hurt you feel, if you are an adult you had better act as such and make the decision to not curse at my son. Ever. And via text? No. I don't do fake friends and I don't do being used and telling my kid to "fuck your face" is pretty much an automatic deal breaker in my book. I give umpteen and eleventy chances for most things, but even thinking of hurting my kid is not one of them. And standing on my property yelling at my kid because you don't to go to a party I'm paying for? Game fucking over.

Darlene Pineda

"they always look at me, I want to kill them now, I want to hang them from a tree,” But look, totally not their fault, cause, like, they didn't understand the power of like, social media? and like, their up bring was totes racist so really all their parents fault, I guess?.... Because lynching someone for looking at you--no, lynching a black man for the crime of LOOKING at a white woman has ZERO FUCKING HISTORICAL CONTEXT AT FUCKING ALL and there is no way in HELL they had no knowledge of that, ESPECIALLY if they had a racist upbringing.

Darlene Pineda

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... The most important thing about this is that, in Somerset, England, there exists a Scythe Festival. And not JUST a Scythe Festival, a WEST COUNTRY Scythe Festival, implying that there may be OTHER Scythe Festivals in other areas not West Country. Also, apparently, weed whackers are just as crappy in West Country, England, as they are here in the States, and we should all go to Somerset and learn to use a scythe properly. At least that's my take away from the whole business. Agreed?

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Things I learned today, and you can, too, by browsing my timeline: Zebras are capable of TERRORIZING AN ENTIRE COUNTRY. Like, a whole COUNTRY. Not a block or a house, but a whole entire country. Why aren't we weaponizing them? Female chimps make spears, yo, and apparently will cut you if you hoot at them. Also I think all the animals are conspiring to end us, and really can you blame them? Connect Four is a legit means for conflict resolution, and I like it better than rock paper scissor lizard Spock. I think it need to be televised with color commentary and stats. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts are way more healthy for you than like 95% of everything else you eat. Especially kale, which is actually spinach poop. Although when baked apparently they are more acceptable. But then, when baked, everything really is. I still can't get past the bloody Zebras.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... WHAAAT? NYPD have racists among them? I am SHOCKED. And APPALLED. And also anti-immigrant? I just cannot FATHOM. Their policing is SO OBVIOUSLY NOT DEMONSTRATING THESE EXACT THINGS....

Darlene Pineda

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... See, this right here? School officials would have bloody stumps and holes where their eyes used to be....because lawsuits and shit? No, doesn't stop the next school and the next school and the next school.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Alligators using tools, seals eating sharks, now chimps making spears... I think they had a conference and decided that humans needed to go already.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... I need to move to Belgium. Especially if it's also on a day when I'm trying kale...

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Pretty much the ONLY way I'd eat kale. Ave then I'm sure It would still taste like spinach poop.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... See, my take away? Eat MOAR KRISPY KREME

My Dad summed it up best, "These parents will defend their kids who murder and rape, get them lawyers and make excuses and do everything they can to free them, but let their kid be queer and they can't be bothered? What the hell is wrong with people? They are terrible terrible parents." And that is why I adore my Dad.

I’ve been told how brave I am for not having a coverup, but going with out (sic) a wrap would only take bravery if I cared what others thought of me, but I don’t. I spend my time worrying about things I CAN control and this day, I was only thinking about how fab I felt and how much sun I was catching ☀️ Things that DO take bravery? A family battling tragic illness, a mother trying to beat addiction, a person trying to break free of domestic violence, reaching out for help when you have already planned your suicide and feel like you can’t breath one more day. THAT is brave. Not wearing a swimsuit at the beach. LIVE life and only worry about what really matters."

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Yup. "what is more apathetic than being complicit in neoliberal economic exploitation and murderous imperialism just because Hillary Clinton masquerades as a feminist and spouts rhetoric that you somehow interpret as being ‘less evil’ than her equally disastrous opponents? That logic basically allows you to skirt the issue of your blatant disregard for families being torn apart by American deportation or bombing campaigns so that you can pretend to be a stalwart defender of the liberal domestic project of the week because you filled in a square or pushed a button in 2012 and then again in 2016"

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Misha is in FULL sundowners confused/drunk "eeeeeeeeeeeee" mode, interspersed with heavy breathing, yips and yaps, whines, and drooling, with an occasional small seizure. Oh, and random peeing. In my bed. Plastic sheeting down, drool towels out, music playing, headphones at the ready for when I just can't take it....shit,, she was down for a few seconds, I was hoping. We upped her seizure meds. They may be unrelated to her kidney function so I'll talk to the vet tomorrow about addition options. Meanwhile? Guess who isn't sleeping.

"It’s dangerous to be complicit in this effed up society’s idea of “vagina = woman” because if your whole identity as a person is tied to a single aspect of yourself that you didn’t choose, if someone else gets to decide what makes you a woman, than that thing that makes you a woman can be revoked like a learner’s permit at any time."

"“The United States remains committed to addressing the urgent issues of indigenous peoples in the hemisphere, including combating societal discrimination against indigenous peoples, increasing indigenous participation in national political processes, addressing lack of infrastructure and poor living conditions in indigenous areas, and collaborating on issues of land rights and self governance.” It also notes that the U.S. “continues to believe the OAS can be mobilized to make a practical difference in the lives of indigenous peoples,” but reiterates that it refuses to sign the declaration."

Darlene Pineda

Darlene Pineda

Between my sore shoulder and meds and her bad hips and meds it looked like two drunks trying to hold each other up. But guess what? SHE'S QUIET! And in a few minutes I'M GOING BACK TO SLEEP TOO! Yesterday was nothing. Today? Today I hurt. No, let me rephrase, ToDAY, I HUUUUUURT. Like someone worked me over with a bat. I need a wife, but I'm getting way more selective about those. Steve! You would be useful about now! Ugh. (insert squawking noise)

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Good night all. I am ready for sleep. I am so tired… And I'm going to sleep.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Gah. New project: Take Misha's temp after seizure to see if her brain has fried. I spend much more time than is comfortable dealing with my dog's rectum. Just saying. I hasn't. Consistent 101s. Time for my meds now. I can't figure out if the "eeeeeeeeeeeee" is part of the seizure or her being disorientated and medicated. Nails, chalkboard. And my bed is covered in drool.

A liberal house and senate can do more work and get more done anyway, AND block the damage a conservative POTUS might try. Here's the thing: I get how important SCOTUS is. But we kill people. Millions of people. And I cannot vote for anyone, ANYONE, who is going to keep doing that. I'm not going to vote for anyone, ANYONE, who supports Israel's genocide of Palestine. There aren't many issues that trump genocide. Full stop. Their blood will not be on my hands. And I am really fucking tired of being told implicitly or explicitly that i *have* to vote for Hillary no matter what because REASONS. Mostly boiling down to the GOP is so dangerous we can't let them have power. But you know what, I can walk the fuck away. I can insist we dismantle this farce. And I can certainly not just vote for someone because they will kill fewer people or do less damage locally. That is not a good enough argument, that Hillary is just the lesser of two evils and have some obligation to vote for her otherwise I'm betraying minorities and liberals and... No. Bull with that shite. Bloody fucking bollocks. No one tells me what I *have* to do. I do the fuck what I want to do. And that includes vote. And I am sick and tired of Democrats half-fucking-assing their way into office.

Also a shot of imitrex in my belly because yeah, stress and such triggers a migraine. I love injectable imitrex. I mean, I want to marry it. Also, funny moment when I almost fell off the X-ray table. We had a giggle. To tired to ice. Tomorrow. Now? Awake until I sleep. Tell me things. OH, and the best part? I BOUGHT LUGGAGE WITH SKULLS ALL OVER IT! PRETTY ALMOST FLORAL SKULLS. TOTAL WIN.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Giftedness too is not always seen as a socially positive and valued trait. Many gifted kids are bullied, others underachieve to hide their abilities, and some experience anxiety and depression with increased risk for self-harm.[2] As many as 20 percent may drop out of school.[3] The social and emotional needs of many gifted children are ignored. Many seek homeschool and early college as more suitable alternatives, though some bypass higher education altogether, having become disillusioned with their earlier experiences, or unable to cope if untreated for unrecognized learning or mental health issues."

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Year to date our police have killed 316 people. Some of them may even have been justified, but at this point every single one should be considered questionable because WE KNOW THEY LIE. WE KNOW THEY COVER UP. WE KNOW THEY PLANT EVIDENCE. WE KNOW THEY GET AWAY WITH IT. I am not afraid of terrorism. Of ISIL. Of Iran. Of undocumented peoples. Of any of the bogeymen used to frighten children. I'm scared of the police. Gun control? Start with the police. Take away the guns, the tasers, the body armor. Stop the fines. Stop the victimless revenue-driven crimes. The police should only answer to the people they serve. Until that day comes I am afraid of them coming to my and killing my dogs and killing me.

Darlene Pineda

When I moved out I was 20, and I remember saving enough money to go to a diner and eat a full meal. You know, with the salad and the sides? It tasted so good. I can, twenty five years later, still taste that chicken and green beans. It took a long time to develop different money habits.

Darlene Pineda

"The killings of minorities by police are instructive in this regard, not because all policemen are violent racists or murderers (the vast majority are neither) or because they are personally responsible for killing large numbers of black and brown people (they aren't), but because they are agents of the state, and so their actions, and the consequences they face, serve as a sort of index of the public will."
