Long leashes are helpful during training too, so you can follow “ask, tell, make” steps… allowing her some freedom while still keeping control. This book is great if you’re looking to get into training. You can pick the parts you want to do and skip whatever else

Colbert and his quote: It has become increasingly clear that the president is a thin-skinned little devil baby who cannot stand to be giggled at.

Another timeline cleanse 💚. These seem more necessary the darker the daily news gets?

Celebrating the first of two ripe figs from my sad sack plant. Small snack, still feels like a win.

Political cartoon. To the left, a very emaciated person kneeling and holding an empty pot labeled “Gaza”, mouth agape while looking to the right. To the right, Netanyahu in a suit seated on the floor holding a bowl filled with weapons of war. Dropping another jet into the bowl is an arm with sleeve labeled “western countries”, while the donor is saying “war must end now”.

🍿Waiting for Elon to get mad/high enough that he spills all the tea 🍿
Elon tweet: What the heck was the point of DOGE if he’s just going to increase the debt by $5 trillion?? Spencer Hakimian response: Nothing. Donald used you to get reelected/more importantly to avoid spending the rest of his life in prison. That was all.

Spotted on dozens of overpasses heading into Boston yesterday ❤️ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
Inclusive pride flag side by side with American flag on the chain link portion of the overpass above the highway. Two more sets of these flags can be seen in the distance on the next overpass, along both directions of the roadway

This!
Shared US Democratic Socialist post that reads: It’s so cool that cities are like “pretty please only turn your AC on if you’re actively dying and don’t go below 79” while the AI nobody asked for is given half the power grid to make images of “hot” girls with 12 fingers

This edible landscaping attempt hasn’t been easy on me or the plants, but it is slowly paying off! Nanking cherry bushes put in as a hedge row / windbreak for my young fruit trees are being generous this year! Bonus that the garden helps me forget about the fascists for a hot second.

Disassociating for a bit because reality is chaos right now. Here’s a poppy.
Close up picture of the innards of a poppy. Petals are bright orange, and the inner bits are shades of purple with a bit of pink. They look hairy and muppet-like.

About that…
Opinion piece screenshot on left from Oct. 2024 with headline “Kamala’s newest lie: Trump will send the army after you” vs. screenshot of article titled “Trump’s troop deployment is a warning sign for what comes next, legal scholars fear” as Trump uses National Guard and Marines against US citizens.

I’m ready for individuals at every level of this regime to be held accountable…
Trump’s statement after arresting Wisconsin judge: “I expect the legal profession to understand that the nation is not here for them but they are here for the nation… From now on, I shall intervene in these cases and remove from office those judges who evidently do not understand the demand of the hour.” I lied, that was Hitler in 1942. But the fact that you liked the statement is pretty damning.

This👇.
Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.
