I don't know what I did to deserve this, but fully 1/3 of my feed tonight is "caturday" related. Can't a girl get just one cute/funny dog story in her feed??

“DOGE” is demanding all federal employees email HR@opm.gov 5 things they accomplished week—or be fired.
So please do NOT email HR@opm.gov nonsense trolling their stupidity. That would likely slow down this fascist regime.
Please do not boost this post either.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

Remember how I said my feed was all raccoons and football?
Now it's cats and Bishop Budde. She's my new hero, so I'm ok with it. Tried to buy her book tonight but can't find anyone that has it in stock. Will keep trying.

I'm bothered. This morning, one of the first things I saw on IG was a story from Vance. I did NOT follow that account. Clicked unfollow. This afternoon, got on IG again and what do I see but another story from Vance. Click on the profile picture, and it says AGAIN that I'm following him.

Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel.
Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.
