Mr. Rogers was ahead of his time in many ways. Watching an episode from 1981 where’s he’s discussing electric cars!

I tried to DM it, but then I realized that you can’t send photos over Bluesky DMs. So here it is. Part of it was already scratched off when I saw it, and I took the picture before I scratched the rest of it off. I too felt sick looking at it. Stopped me in my tracks and knew I had to remove the rest

We got C a little ball pit and my inner child is loving it, I’m not even upset about more toys on the floor. He puts his head down and spins around and around, it’s the funniest thing. Watching your child’s unbridled joy is one of the most rewarding parts of being a parent.

My favorite thing on April Fools is when a business page make a post as a joke and someone in the comments takes it seriously.

If you’ve seen this out in the wild please screenshot and share with me lol
A Facebook post from Colorado Springs Utilities » • Big News! We're thrilled to announce our new partnership with the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region. Introducing... wire guard-dogs! & These pups undergo the same intensive training as our wire guard-humans, who keep our community safe from downed electric lines by standing guard before repairs are made. During extreme weather events, our wire guards are crucial to public safety. But now, thanks to our furry friends, our community has an extra layer of protection. As these pups get adopted from the Humane Society, we train new ones to ensure we always have a rotation of these skilled employees. Adopting is a fantastic way to expand your family! * Adopt your new furry friend and learn more at hsppr.org. Safety Reminder: Never approach a downed power line-always assume it's live. Call us at (719) 448-4800 to report it. Your call could save a life! A response in the comments: In other words, you're putting the lives of innocent dogs at risk so you can save some money on labor? Weak.

Here are more companies I looked up. Home Depot would be the one to avoid the most out of these.

This is an app I started using to look up the political leanings of brands. It’s called Goods Unite Us. You can search individual companies and see how much they donate to political parties.

Here were some standouts from my initial searches ⬇️
Discover the politics of your favorite brands You can search for lots of brands and see how much they have donated to political campaigns, and to which party they have donated the most. World Market does not donate significant amounts to politicians. Bath & Body Works does not donate a significant amount to politicians 98% of Costco’s donations went to democrats (2% went to republicans )

My 70 lb dog loves the cat’s bed. And the cat loves my bed, so it works out.

Also she looks so sad but I promise you she’s not lol.

I was reading an article about Heidi Gardener’s mid century modern house (actress from SNL) today, and she said something that really shows the difference between wealthy people and regular people.

She throws her clothes on the floor for the *aesthetic* 💀
Text from article: But no space seals her nostalgic reverie quite like the primary closet. Shaker cabinets inset with mauve pink grass cloth and outfitted with vintage brass swan pulls stand opposite a spacious marble vanity inspired by her mother's. A bulb-lined mirror, fringed ottoman, and zebra rug add to the glamour. "T've found myself just throwing clothes on the floor because it almost looks more feminine-like a woman just ran in and kicked off her shoes," Gardner says. "I love having this space to indulge a bit more." Surely mother would approve.

A valentine with Greg Abbott on it that says “our spark can light up the whole state…and it’s going to have to when the power grid fails again.”
