Shoutout to the vet for realizing the urgency of my "I need sedatives for my high-strung pit bull for when the big boom starts on July 4" request and fast tracking that shit without requiring a visit

I fuckin' hate fireworks.
@jacklaridian I loved 'em when I was a kid. Couldn't get enough. Used to have bottle rocket wars with friends.
I hate them so much now.
@middleclasstool
I have a friend who served in IRAQ and he takes a trip out to the country every year just to get peace. My dogs hate them. The older I get, the more I realize they are just so unnecessary.
@jacklaridian My dad's okay with them now, but not long after he got back from Vietnam, the town government fired a cannon on the courthouse lawn for some holiday or other, and he instinctively dove under a showcase and took cover in the family store. The ways we "honor" our veterans are obscene performative garbage. We really just want to play soldier.
