When my mother gets into facebook fights with her childhood friends who grew up to be racists, she passive-aggressively fucks with them by making a donation to a local refugee assistance organization in the name of their immigrant grandmothers, a donation large enough that they get a card from the organization saying so.   She passive aggressively fucks with the same demographic of friends who #bluelivesmatter by commenting with details about the various petty crimes they committed together as teens, e.g. “Wow Joey, where was all the respect for blue lives when we hotboxed your uncle’s patrol car?” 
And obviously both these approaches are specific to former juvenile delinquent turned UMC babyboomer but it feel still inspirational in that we can all find our own chaotic good pettiness niche.

Our beautiful puggle, lovingly renamed Gagum by our oldest, died today. He went peacefully in our arms after declining quickly from cancer. I will miss him so much. He was here for all of my health decline, and I literally don’t know how to cope without him. I still feel him with me

I will never get over how weird it feels to have tragic and emotional chapters of your life where you just also still go to work, and the grocery store, and see funny videos online all while feeling such paralyzing fear and heartache
life just goes on no matter what

Love seeing my rheumatologist and the most positive I can be is like, “I think I’m having some better days and my bad days are a little less frequent, but I still hurt pretty bad most of the time” and that’s like yes that’s great!!
I still want to hope for eventually being pain free, but man it’s so disheartening to be trying different meds for almost 10 years and I still feel in the same place I was 10 years ago if not worse. Consistently trying for remission for almost a decade, gotten no further 👍
At least there’s weed tho
