Over the weekend, I visited upstate NY, where I got arrested & later did time. And it kind of holds a special place in my heart bc it’s where I got my life back together. But someoneasked me where my dog was & it got me thinking. Here is a thread abt dogs, addiction, and reentry.
Our new cat Aramis (originally Tabbi from @annex_cat) bunking with Raylan (originally Garfield adopted in 2013). Aramis is the 6 month old grey tabby on the bottom bunk.
@baddestmamajama Toronto resident’s advice: combine your LA sweaters with base layers to stay warm. My favourite base layer is silk (wicks moisture, non-stinky). Available from ski wear stores, LL Bean etc.

@TheDirkest @KevKoeser @john_harper Andor revives the connections between Star Wars and current civil rebellions against fascist regimes. I felt that authenticity the moment Cassian Andor showed up in Rogue One and the series makes the parallels more explicit.
@SHAZAMandBAM @KevKoeser I watched the originals as they came out because I’m old. Suggested order for catch up: episode 4 (New Hope), then ep 5 Empire Strikes Back. Have friends/YouTube summaries give you highlights tour of Return of the Jedi and prequels. Watch Rogue One.
@oneunderscore__ Yup I’m Gen x and refuse to pick up the phone. Or if I answer I just listen and don’t say anything and then hang up if it isn’t a doctor’s office etc .
@RealLyndaCarter It’s been lovely to get to know you para-socially. My grade 2 teacher told us that her son dressed up every day to watch Wonder Woman to show his admiration. And you’re worthy!
