From last week, but about to be repeated:

A Jedi Knight, baby yoda, and an Ewok gathered at the trunk of their Nissan Rogue One to distribute force candy to younglings
A man dressed as a Jedi stands behind a car with an open trunk with 2 dogs dressed like an Ewok and Yoda

Everything is awful,
but Violet would like you to get the ball,
and that kind of makes it better.
Violet, a brindle colored Frenchie-Pug, looks just past the camera with clear brown eyes, teeth from her underbite just showing, while holding a purple ball with a frayed end that she would like me to try and get.

My feed quality has improved substantially since I followed the #dogsofbluesky feed yesterday. Here is Violet, who just heard cheese. #FrenchiePug #Frug
Violet, a Frenchie pug with an adorable face, looks up with her ears on full alert because she heard the plastic cheese bag crinkle. Her mouth is open just enough to see one tooth peering through her black dog lips.

Found in the wild - false vandalism ⚓
A blue, 1982 Episcopal hymnal is in the book rack of a wooden pew. Someone has penciled "BiBle" on the top of the book across the pages.

Timeline Cleanse by Cuteness:
That time Brielle (the mother) really wanted to sit in my lap, which was occupied by Violet (her oldest child).
A brindle-colored frenchie-pug sits on top of another brindle-colored frenchie-pug in an attempt to sit in the lap the bottom frenchie-pug is currently occupying. The bottom frenchie-pug has one eye open as if she is wincing in pain.

A 2 panel photo featuring a scene from The Lord of the Rings. In the top panel, Frodo Baggins looks forlorn as he says, “What are we holding onto Sam?” In the bottom panel, Samwise Gamgee, Frodo’s gardener and dearest friend, looks Frodo in the eyes and says, “That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.”

"Two years ago, Yarvin laid out his strategic program with the acronym “RAGE,” or “Retire all government employees.” Yarvin argued that a hypothetical future Trump administration should terminate all nonpolitical federal workers to have them be replaced by loyalists. The government’s coffers must then be impounded and redirected, according to the blogger. When courts prevent unconstitutional orders, Yarvin says that they should just be ignored. After that, the free press and universities must be curtailed, as well—Yarvin said no later than April after the inauguration."
