Local No Kings protest
Woman holds protest sign saying “Ikea has better cabinets.” Person holds sign that says “Tanks for nothing.” Person holds sign that says “Are we great yet? Because I’m just embarrassed.” Sign that says “No kons, no klowns, no kings.” The words “kons” and “klowns” begin with the letter k to match the k in “kings.”

RIP #JulesFeiffer. In addition to enjoying his comics, one of my favorite #PictureBooks is BARK, GEORGE.
Cover of the picture book “Bark, George,” by Jules Feiffer. In a simple line drawing, a dog sits looking expectantly at someone or something outside the picture.

I’m all for creativity, but I kinda doubt I’ll ever need to discuss whether some dogs did their laundry.
A completed exercise in the Duolingo app, showing a translation from Spanish to English that says “The dogs washed their pants.”
