Friends! Our dear friend @JanOMalley3.bsky.social bought Mum some Cups of Tea with the suggestion to use the money to buy this Game. She thought it might distract the Triplets from the Tree🎄Mum did exactly as Jan recommended and I got to play with the New Game first. I think it will help us a lot!🪶

My heart. Every one of these horrors brings me back to teaching in my classroom when we learned half an hour away in Newtown, children were slaughtered.

Brown is my alma mater. This one brings me back to the leafy streets of my own college, years before the nation descended into this madness.
“I was telling my students that I am so grateful for them,” said the teaching assistant, age 21.

Seconds later, a man with a face mask and a rifle entered the classroom and started shooting.

God damn. What incredible guts this guy has.

I once took a bat away from a guy who was beating someone with it, and I can't imagine that I would have done this. Not from that distance, not having to slip through the cars.

Just a ridiculous act of heroism.

Good grief! They want to go back to pre 1970 when women weren't allowed to have their own checking accounts, sign contracts, serve on a jury, etc. It was well into the 1980s before a medical office stopped asking about my "responsible party" AKA father or husband or a MAN. #NotGoingBack

Chums! Baby Dog here. Thank you SO MUCH for all Malcy’s birthday wishes - he was blown away by all the love! I wanted him to have a day off, so it was up to me to be on Christmas Tree Duty. I did EVERYTHING I could to keep Ron out of the Tree…

Friends! It’s my Birthday! I received two lovely new toys from special friends. Aren’t I lucky! (Baby Dog has already pinched one of them but Mum has pinched it back!)
Mum says everyone is going to make a Big Fuss of me today and we’ll share a new photo of me later! #HappyBirthdayMalcolm

Excuse me! It’s Cleo here. Mum was taking a photo of Malcy and Baby Dog but I did a Photobomb and stuck out my tongue! That’s because I’m the only Girl and I need to make sure I don’t get forgotten.
Also, Mum has started putting shiny balls on the Tree. Exciting!We will all be investigating!🎄

Friends! Mum is gradually getting more of our Christmas Things out. Yesterday we wondered if the Triplets might like to dress up a bit with us. Percy and Ron did but Cleo didn’t! I had a cuddle with Hamish in the Sleigh and Baby Dog tried very hard not to mind! 🛷

Friends! Despite the Triplets being here, sometimes I feel like nothing has changed. Here I am, trying to sleep, with Baby Dog being a Silly Sausage next to me. Luckily, I learned a very long time ago how to sleep through his Shenanigans. And I do love him so very much ❤️

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.

This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

Friends! I would usually have shared a picture of me in front of my Christmas Tree by now, but as we haven’t put the baubles on it yet, I thought you might like this. I think the Light makes me look young, even though I’ll be at least 17 on my birthday in 6 day’s time. I don’t look bad for 17 do I?

Excuse me! It’s Ron here. Guess where I am? Mum put up a Pretty Tree especially for me to climb. It’s great! She keeps telling me not to climb it, which is a bit confusing, but I don’t think she means it, so I’m climbing anyway. Malcy keeps giving me stern looks though! Weird…

Chums! Baby Dog here. I have to tell you that Operation Christmas Tree started well, but Mum now feels she might be losing the battle. Mum has asked me to distract Ron, who is being the biggest Menace with the Tree (we all thought it would be Cleo, didn’t we?!) Do you think I’m doing a good job? 🎄
