Normalize telling people what they mean to you.

Big things or small. The person that helps you think about things differently or the pet posts that make you smile for a minute.

You won’t loose cool points for being sincere. I promise.
The attack on Venezuela - Matthew has a thread on contacting your representatives. Includes finding your reps., wording advice, etc.

Important to note: Matthew understands energy (and other) limitations. If they say it might make a difference, listen.
It is very important that your federal electeds hear not only from you on social media, but through direct contact as well. Tag them and then

Call and email. Do both. Tell them to move to immediately impeach and remove for an unconstitutional war of aggression.

Loving this all the squirrelly goodness in this thread.
Glamour Shot squirrel is one of my favorites.

More Memberships = Less begging just to cover our day-to-day expenses and more time and money going towards actually accomplishing this relocation out of this TENT and into our NEW HOME across the country!

Once there we can unpack all my tools and get BACK TO WORK!

Happy New Year! 🙏⚒️💕💸🏳‍⚧♿💜

“Happy little cloud.” That cloud is amazing. I like to think they had to edit out at least 5 minutes of “that’s a damn good lookin’ little cloud” cause you should be proud of that little cloud Bob.

Reminder of nice things.

Going back through some pictures I re-posted from past years (2023-24) here. Some of my own too. As always, thank you for sharing your special moments.

A December thread.

Avoid writing text that has every letter alternating between uppercase and lowercase. This is difficult for sighted readers to comprehend, especially users with reading or cognitive disabilities. Screen readers won't know to read this, so it will often be gibberish.

The thing that gets me the most about Stewart's comments,
why would you ask why someone is masking?
No one owes you their medical history.
No one owes you an explanation about who they might be keeping safe by wearing a mask.

Not surprised by it all.
However, this is a schmucktastic thing to do.

#OneOfTheTwo Jon Stewart mocked for masking. Because Covid destroyed my body & my life. There are ~half a billion people with #LongCovid around the world. Why would anyone assume they’re too special to become one of us?

Totally normal. Nothing to see here.

I woke up today knowing in my bones the barometric pressure is low.

I would like to give this skill back please.

A sign it's too late at night to be looking for cute animal pics?
Or a sign I needed to come across this hotdog banana?

Either way, I wouldn't have gotten this in my results without the "dog" in the alt text. Use alt text. More people will find and share your posts.

Another Spot the Cat picture from past years. Evie was all about a good hiding place where she could watch all the action.
