I do not want to be saved by a good billionaire. Stupid white hippie. No, the tent should not be that big. Newsletter: annelibby.email; it’s about managing people and the workplace.
Against all odds, my petunias aren't exactly thriving, but they are still trying to bloom. We've had several frosts, a few inches of snow, and a couple of sub-freezing nights. (Chicagoland: zone 5b/6a)

Right wing vernacular for, "You remind me of my mom, when she's mad at me."

And those who platform him. Here's how it was in my face when I looked at @nytimes.com this morning.

(Yes, NY Times, we takes screenshots of you, my bros. Because you're not trustworthy.)

Patrick Bateman has just endorsed Andrew Cuomo

Yes! Not so much this year, for whatever reason? But some years they have just been teeming on the plants. They're very....metal.

Photo of assault of a postal worker by #ICE/#CBP or whichever of Trump's goons rolled up in their mom's minivan in Buffalo Grove IL on 10/30, apparently looking for landscapers. Captured via Ring camera, video to follow.

Petunias don't know it's almost November.

We've had at least two frosts -- don't know about last night, and it's about 41F at the moment.

Best I could do in time allotted. As we were leaving, a neighbor who joined us passed it on someone arriving without a sign.

Fall weather on our deck, 57F in Chicagoland. Good weather for jacketed coffee drinking. My container garden is extremely happy — hoping to get the petunias to bloom one more time this year.

After dropping off some donations at a local thrift, we went in to peruse the goods. I'm feeling some regret for having passed up this mint condition Jax Teller/Sons of Anarchy tote.

We still have a few apparently mutant pansies that have survived an awful lot of 90F weather.

Not my best craftspersonship, but I repurposed my Biden/Harris --> Harris/Walz garden flag in time for today's celebrations. #NoKings

Welcome, June; it’s a beautiful 45F morning in Chicagoland.

Different Costco (not far from the first,) at 11:42 am today, day whatevereth of the current regime. I thought I'd have a clear run of the aisles due to Passover, and Palm Sunday church services. I was wrong.

Hooray! I received my postcard from @marc-fischer.bsky.social today. If he still has some on offer -- he sold out last time I tried -- I'm going to order some to mail out myself. halfletterpress.com/say-no-to-us...

Um, yup.

And I'm trying so hard not to be cynical, but the deadpan description of Cory Booker's social media strategy presentation. I just can't.

For the love of our country, please get @aoc.bsky.social and her digital strategists on the case.

My garden flag is complete! 🧵

Coming soon

It was supposed to be a Biden Harris garden flag. Sigh.
