It used to be our patriotic duty to condemn any country committing these acts. Now you’re trying to tell us it’s patriotic to support these same actions, actions of “bad countries,” cause it’s our own country doing it?
Tell me “we are the axis” without telling me we are the axis. #wearethebadguysnow
Do you remember all the reasons they used to list for why the “evil countries” were evil growing up? All that propaganda to get Americans to “know” who the bad guys are. Let’s look at a short list of what made those countries “the bad guys”: They disappear their own citizens They fund an overwhelming force of secret police They prosecute politicians that disagree or even assassinate politicians who don’t agree Citizens who speak up face negative repercussions The right to assemble/ protest doesn’t exist/ is taken away They deny rights to gay/ trans citizens They deny rights to women citizens They deny rights to disabled citizens Their access to medical care is limited/ unaffordable Their access to education is limited/ below par They imprison a marginalized group they’ve decided are the scape goats The list goes on. Those were reasons we were taught OTHER countries were “bad” or “evil” Can someone explain to me why USofA achieving ALL OF THOSE POINTS WITHIN 6 MONTHS is not equivalently bad or evil?

Shirley Temple lookin like a capsized whale. If you can believe it, she’s finally starting to lose weight! #rescuesenior #catsky #cat
White cat, extremely rotund. Lying belly up on the back of a couch on top of a fluffy white pet blanket. Ears alert, eyes open. Front paws in Trex mode due to the excessive roundness. Back legs toward the camera as she’s starting to slip off her perch. Don’t worry I caught her after taking the pic

You can find ALT options in your settings! I set mine to require ALT text to be able to post, so I don’t forget! Here’s a screenshot of the Accessibility section along with an example of ALT text under the screenshot. Bluesky has done an amazing job at making it easy to be inclusive💖

Broccoli Taco and TickTock Sherlock bundled up for the snow! The snow is up to their bellies! Good thing we have #canadapooch snow pants and #sparkpaws outfits for these big babies. You can just barely see Broccoli Taco’s giraffe snood/ knit hat on under his hood #dogs
Outdoor pic of the fenced in yard. Completely blanketed by snow. With two big dogs one black and one brown; in yellow coats that have hoods covering their ears. They have yellow and black plaid hoodies peeking out from under the yellow coats. The brown dog also has on a giraffe snood/ knit hat under his yellow hood. You can just see the giraffe ears and horns sticking out. Both dogs are wearing red snow pants/ boots. Dogs are facing away from camera. So butts with wagging tails are most visible, noses up in the air sniffing the winter breeze This pic is a closer shot than the first pic of the fenced in yard. Completely blanketed by snow. With two big dogs one black and one brown; in yellow coats that have hoods covering their ears. You can really see how high the snow is in this close up, it’s just under their bellies. They have yellow and black plaid hoodies peeking out from under the yellow coats. The brown dog also has on a giraffe snood/ knit hat under his yellow hood. You can just see the giraffe ears and horns sticking out. Both dogs are wearing red snow pants/ boots. Brown dog is facing away from camera. Black dog is turned sideways with a full side body view of the yellow coat and red snow pants. You can see tails peeking out from under their coats and noses up in the air sniffing the winter breeze

I think more people in the US would have Figgy Pudding at Christmas if they understood that it’s a cake, you light on fire, and you top it with “frosting” that’s an alcoholic hard sauce #christmaspudding #figgypudding #christmas
Tall Bundt -ish shaped cake, with textured arched lines from the pan. Golden brown in color with speckles of fruit throughout. Ring of brown sugar around the hole in the top (Which will caramelize later when it’s doused in alcohol and set on fire). Sitting on a square Spode Christmas cake platter with holly leaf and berries in the pattern and a green stripe along the edge One piece of figgy pudding in the center of a Spode Christmas plate. A huge dollop of hard sauce plopped on to the top of the cake piece. Hard sauce has a cream ly yellow tint to it, due to the copious amounts of rum in it Tall Bundt -ish shaped cake, with textured arched lines from the pan. Golden brown in color with speckles of fruit throughout. The cake has been cut and a third of it is gone. You can see the inside with the hole down the center. The cake is sitting on a round crystal cake platter with diamond etched patterning on the under side. A silver cake knife is resting on the cake plate with bits of cake and fruit crumbles on the tip

TickTock Sherlock wants you to know that he’s just a pitiful baby!! So he deserves all the pets and cuddles! #dogs
Black inkblot coated dog sitting sideways on a pink pet blanket surrounded by pillows on the couch. Back legs completely extended out under him. Wearing a grey lick sleeve on his left leg to protect wounds. Front left leg shaved clean for wound care. Head tilted toward the camera, staring dolefully, with large floppy ears slightly perked. White cat loafing on the back of the couch on top of colorful dog hoodies, with only face and front half in frame, watching over the dog (she’s his nurse kitty)

Cute little baby blanket I #knit ages ago in a stained glass stitch. (Not blocked yet in these photos)
Small light green, blue, dark green, and cream yarn in a stockinette and stained glass stitch pattern. Cream lines with light green blocks inside the back left quarter of the blanket of the stained glass stitch. Reverse side of stockinette stitch in dark green and blue in the bottom left quarter. Dark green lines with blue blocks for the stained glass pattern of the right bottom quarter and reverse side of stockinette stitch in light green and cream in the top right quarter of the blanket. Edges are matching colors to each quarter of the blanket in moss stitch Small light green, blue, dark green, and cream yarn in a stockinette and stained glass stitch pattern. Cream lines with light green blocks inside the back left quarter of the blanket of the stained glass stitch. Reverse side of stained glass stitch looks the same as a reverse side of the stockinette stitch in dark green and blue in the bottom left quarter. Dark green lines with blue blocks for the stained glass pattern of the right bottom quarter and reverse side of stockinette stitch look in light green and cream in the top right quarter of the blanket. Edges are matching colors to each quarter of the blanket in moss stitch Blanket has been folded in half. Then the back half flipped over toward the front half of the blanket. Showing the stained glass patterning from the underside as well as the top side next to each other at the same time

Poor Shirley Temple, even her favorite box is telling her to lose weight #cats #skycats #chonkycat
Large white cat sitting in an empty Amazon box up against a door. The box has a yellow label saying “heavy” slapped on to the side. The cat has her chin resting on the open flap of the box, just above the sticker, staring up at the camera ears perked up

Broccoli Taco knows how to steal hearts #dogs
Pink background with a dog lying down centered in the photo. The dog is a pitbull/ lab mix with a brindle coat and long lab nose (not a pit face). With floppy ears and amber eyes. He has a pink tulip draped in his front paws the bloom across his right front leg with the end of the stem under his left paw. It looks like he’s holding the flower. He’s looking off to the right side showing off his profile

My buddy said this picture of Mokey Fraggle feels like he’s about to receive a detailed quest #cats
Left foreground of the photo shows a fluffy long haired cat. With different shades of grey fur. Giant saucer eyes looking right at the camera, perhaps staring into your soul. She’s sitting on an arm chair covered by a poinsettia patterned blanket. With a Christmas tree lit with colorful lights framed behind the cat

Happy Caturday! Bluesky meet Mokey Fraggle #cats
Multicolored grey long haired cat looks up at the camera. Standing on a cardboard kitty scratcher on the kitchen floor. The cat has huge eyes and long hair poking out all over, though not as puffy as usual, since she was just brushed

Socrates says good morning. It snowed here today, so maybe we won’t go outside on the porch like we usually do. She’s advocating for staying in bed instead #cat #bskycats
White cat propped on a lap, back half fading into the background. She is stretching her front legs out across a pink blanket, very relaxed, toward the camera with a sleepy face. Right ear twitched back and left ear fully upright. Eyes just opening up

Shirley Temple and Socrates say hello! Yes, the bowling ball is on a diet #cats
Two large white cats lounging, one in front of the other, in the warm spot the human just vacated on the bed. The front cat is far too fat, the other is just right
