All the Sinners Bleed by S. A. Cosby
The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters
Pic of the cover of All the Sinners Bleed book by S. A. Crosby a southern gothic murder mystery, but also more than that on many levels. The audio book is especially well voiced with the narrator doing a fabulous job bringing all of the different characters to live. The cover of the book The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters, featuring only blueberries on the cover. About an indigenous family who come from Canada to Maine to pick blueberries every summer and what happens after their 4 year old daughter/sister is taken and never found. Incredibly moving story. I only meant to read one chapter to see how I liked it and couldn’t stop!

Overwhelmed with the world, so here’s my Shih Tzu, Murphy, just finished his business outside, with a treat in his mouth, hanging out of it like a cigar.

He did his business without even once setting it down.

He even barks with it in his mouth! 😂
Which and gold Shih Tzu dog on a leash in the driveway. He just finished doing his potty business outside, but he has and had a dog treat in his mouth, the entire time he was outside doing his business, and it is hanging out of his mouth sideways like an old man with a cigar. He has a look on his face that says “um, yeah, I take my comfort dog treat outside with me everywhere I go. I can even bark with it in my mouth, what’s it to you?”

Show a moment from TV/Film that broke your heart.
Spoiler Alert for LOST - a pic of Sun and Jin's hands, holding hands with each other, underwater, with a red light in the background lighting up the water and pulsing, like a heartbeat, as they decide to drown, together, and NEEDLESSLY ORPHAN THEIR DAUGHTER.

Show a moment from TV/Film that broke your heart.
Spoiler alert for season 2 Mid-season finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the heartbreaking death of Agent Triplett, who was turned to stone by the Diviner crystal and mist when he tried to save Skye (Daisy/Quake) from what he thought was dangerous to her. The terrigine mist ended up turning Skye to Quake, Reina to a different Inhuman, and shattered poor Agent Triplett.

Spoiler for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D - The tragic death of Fitz, and Mac having to watch him die, without Jemma being there. Fitz was like the "teddy bear" and other than when he was the Framework Fitz, this was like killing the teddy bear and ripping your heart out, with poor Mac having to watch.

Show a moment from TV/Film that broke your heart.
Spoiler Alert for The Americans - picture of one of the last scenes from the series finale of the Americans, where Elizabeth in disguise, looks out of the window of the train that is leaving the country for Canada as Phillip and Elizabeth try to escape back to the USSR, and she sees her daughter Paige who was supposed to escape with them, outside of the train on the platform. Paige has decided to not go with her parents to a land she doesn't know, to stay behind and maybe take care of her brother. Elizabeth is heartbroken to lose both of her kids - she is heartbroken as a mother, but also heartbroken that Paige chose the US instead of coming back with them. The Americans has one of the best finales of any TV series I've ever seen. Beautiful, bittersweet, and perfect.

A film that takes place where you’re from
A picture from the 1983 tv movie “The Day After” that shows an orange mushroom cloud from a nuclear bomb that hit Interstate 70 between Lawrence and Kansas City. With cars on the interstate getting ready to be incinerated by the nuclear flash. Filmed in Lawrence and Kansas City, eastern Kansas and western Missouri.

You might need a high speed cable or even the Belkin one. I remember having issues, even though I supposedly had a high speed cable. I had to get the belkin one for it to work. YMMV.

See number 3

Special instructions about getting an expensive, super specific HDMI cable, Belkin brand, to make the Apple TV work correctly.

From the Kansas subreddit:

And no, senator, you very much DO NOT take your job seriously! You all will be the laughing stock of history. I just hope I will be around to see it!

You are shameful to the legacy of Kansas 🌻 as a Free State.
Screenshot of an email from Kansas Senator Roger Marshall in which he says: DOC MARSHALL FROM THE DESK OF SENATOR ROGER MARSHALL, M.D. Date February 15. 2025 Fellow Kansan, I am happy to share that three more of President Trump's Cabinet nominees are officially CONFIRMED! - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) - Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) - Brooke Rollins as the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) President Trump's all-star Cabinet is filled with disruptors by design. By ushering in much-needed reforms, these leaders are delivering real results for the American people. I look forward to the health revolution Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will lead at HHS, the refreshing transparency Tulsi Gabbard will bring to our intelligence community, and the fighting spirit Brooke Rollins will have for America's farmers and ranchers at USDA. There will be a breath of fresh air in Washington, D.C. - and a sigh of relief from the American people - once President Trump's full Cabinet hits the ground running. While these confirmations are a huge victory, we still have more to go. I will support all of President Trump's Cabinet nominees as they advance through their hearing process, and cannot wait until all of them are confirmed. Please know my family members and I take this responsibility seriously and are proud to represent all Kansans in the U.S. Senate. Sincerely, Senator Roger Marshall, M.D.

Suggestion from YouTube: “Cats watching Squirrels 🐿️”

😂 I don’t have a cat, and haven’t watched cats or squirrel videos.

Is this bc I watched some of Dr Barkley’s ADHD videos?

And what’s up with the up close squirrel face?! Scared the crap out of me!
Cropped picture of search suggestions from YouTube, with a very up close view of a squirrel’s face, with the words “cats watching squirrels” over the picture of the squirrel.

Do not obey in advance.
A quote from Timothy Snyder's book, On Tyranny about not obeying in advance. Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.

Recently read this book, and thought it was great! I’ve recommended it to several of my clients recently. (And it is short, which works well for my short attention span right now)

She has such a good way with words and descriptions. Very much enjoyed it!
