Great turnout today at the protest in Orlando.

Seeing posts on protests all over the USA as well.

My daughter made this sweater with her own two hands, a pair of knitting needles and a ball of yarn. (Probably multiple balls of yarn).

Stitch by stitch.

I am absolutely, totally in awe.

The next 4 years will be horrific for immigrants.

Please follow the steps below if you are an immigrant or send it to any immigrant you know. I’m afraid anyone who just looks like an immigrant will be caught up in this process.

This morning : first time in 10 years of living in this house that we received a visit from a pair of … peacocks!

Sitting at the table drinking coffee and reading the paper and … these two casually stroll by the sliding glass door 3 feet away. 😂

Drop what you’re doing and step outside to see the crescent moon right next to a blazing Venus!

Hurry, before they set and you miss it.

My iPhone camera can’t quite capture it.

Happy new year, everyone!

Starting off my Bluesky year with a cheerful lclip of our backyard bird buffet this morning.

My back yard tonight.

As messed up as Florida is, we still get some awesome skies.

If you have a clear view of the western sky, go out RIGHT NOW and look at the thin crescent moon floating next to a brilliant Venus.

It is freaking SPECTACULAR!!!

Wish my phone could capture it.

Saw Gladiator2 yesterday.

Am I the only one who thought about RFK Jr—and a handful of the others—when the corrupt, deranged, syphilitic Emperor appointed his pet monkey to the the position of Chief Consul?

This was hanging in the eastern sky on my walk this morning.

Must’ve been a pre-dawn launch at Cape Canaveral?

“Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.”


Yeats should have called it “The Second Term.”

The Christian Nationalists who pack themselves into cavernous megachurches every Sunday…

.. and who shout “Amen!!” in response to all the lies and fairytales their preachers tell them …

… are criticizing Bluesky as an “echo chamber.”

Nailed it, as usual.
The Republican Party has elected a twice impeached, four times indicted sociopathic sex offender as president. Now here's three articles about what's wrong with the Democratic Party.

Taking a break from the Trump appointments shitshow. Need to remind myself there is beauty and love in the world.

Want to share some pics I took in Switzerland in June when I was there for @bowlus.bsky.social ‘s wedding to the lovely Jessie.
