With five days left until our fundraiser, and despite Louisa's and my best efforts, we're still not where we want to be.

So we're busting out the big guns.

For each new organization you pledge for, I'll post a Clark pic.
For each new state, I'll post a Minnie pic.

Less than $200 to go! He is really the sweetest bun. Even after everything he’s been through and getting daily eye treatments for months he still hops right up to you for pets. 🥹

New folks, you'll probably see that there are a lot of GoFundMes from our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Give if you can. Mohammed was a sheep farmer before the displacement, so he's the one I've chosen for my own money and to push. Can you spare anything today?

Since he donned sapphire and gold in 1901, 🇺🇸 RHP Ted Balloon has led a thoroughly dominant 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG rotation to bewildering success, both for him and the team.

Based on these numbers, it would seem he's done that because hitters are too afraid of getting near the plate when he pitches.

Why does Juror #2 not remember committing the murder?

My guess (which is half a guess-in-law): it’s a Clint Eastwood movie, so that damn millennial Nicholas Hoult just forgot that one gig job.
Every plot summary I read for an upcoming film makes me feel like there’s a gas leak in my house

🎶 A little bit of butternut on my plate
A little bit of honeynut when it’s late
A little bit of acorn is all I need
A little of kabocha is what I see

A little delicata in the sun
A little of spaghetti all autumn
A little bit of Hubbard blue here I am
A little bit of squash makes me your man 🎶

Someone in San Antonio, TX reached out to me today because she has a sweet, magical boy with FIV who desperately needs a home ASAP. In fact, he's so sweet that his name is Sweet Boy. Look at that face - he obviously just wants love! 💔 (continued with more info)

Turns out one of our patrons loves Martín Maldonado so much, they named the affiliate team in his hometown after him.

(Let's be honest: so does the commissioner.)

Fortunately, that also translates in a really cool way. More info on their crests, uniforms, and top prospects:

Put $50 in this morning. If you’ve got some cash burning a hole in your pocket (I know, who does these days), consider helping people currently being bombed out of the place they were told would be safe.

We only have each other. We only ever had each other. We will always only ever have each other.

Erin is not exaggerating. Don't try to put lilies someplace "safe" like on a high shelf or on top of the fridge, just don't bring them in your home at all. Tell everyone, especially since the Easter lilies are coming soon, too. www.fda.gov/animal-veter....
It's almost Valentine's Day so it's my yearly reminder that lilies are DEADLY to cats. Every single part of the lily. Even the tiniest sniff of pollen will send a cat into kidney failure within an hour. Lilies are a death sentence. If you have cats DO NOT have lilies in your home!

In 42% of primate species, females have as much power as males or are dominant. 🧪
Often it's not reality that is male-biased, but who is interpreting that reality—another reason it's so important to diversify science. www.scientificamerican.com/article/fema...
Females Dominate Males in Many Primate Species
Most primate societies have long been assumed to be male-dominated, but a new study shows many have females in charge or feature power sharing
