In honor of yesterday’s #HATM
The Touring Test cartoon First cell: Eric walks in with his cellphone and says, “I just got this weird text.” Elizabeth, who’s sitting in a chair reading, asks, “Who from?” Second cell: Eric says, “Some guy named Ishmael.” Elizabeth looks up and says, “Huh. What’s he say?” Third cell: Eric says, “Call me.” Fourth cell: a close-up of Eric’s phone screen shows the text “Call me. —Ishmael”

If you see this, post something pink
A black and white cat with a pink nose and pink toe beans reclines on a tan sofa. A cherry red blanket is draped on the sofa, and red and blue pillows are behind the feline.

Third snow this winter ❄️❤️
Snow covered hill — with hints of grass. At the edge of the lawn is a wooden picket fence and a deciduous woods. Some house can be faintly seen in the distance.

I was 5 inches(!) from the end when I realized that the borders wouldn’t match up because I changed the border moss stitch pattern halfway through and hadn’t noticed. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Partly knitted cardigan on metal needles. The piece alternates two rows of a white yarn with blue, purple, and brown flecks and two rows of a multicolored yarn of muted purples and greens.

I’d really like to go to bed, but …
A black and white Tuxedo cat is blissfully asleep on a red plush blanket, his head tucked upside down. My legs are under that blanket.

Second snow this winter after more than 1000 days without. ❄️
Nighttime view from the front porch of a cul-de-sac frosted with about an inch or two of snow. The porch railing is in the bottom left corner. Two houses can be seen through the trees. View from the front porch looking to the right. About 1-2 inches of snow covers everything, including the porch railing in the bottom right corner, the lamppost on the other side of the walkway, the yard, the road, and all the trees, shrubs, and grass.

Treating myself to a peppermint mocha this morning:
A small stack of books, a blue pen, a white vase of red and yellow flowers, and a black and white paper coffee cup are arranged on a small brown cafe table. The tan cup sleeve reads Esteamed Coffee.

Have you tried Finch?
A snapshot of the Finch self-care app and its Midnight Masquerade theme. On the left, an ivory bird wears a navy and gold dress, mask, and crown. Second on the left is a gray fox in a navy mask. In the center is a tan bird in a black and white dress, mask, and fascinator. On the right is an aqua bird in a blue and white top hat, mask, vest, and slacks carrying a blue and gold cane. All are in the snowy woods at dusk.

NPR used to have a regular Friday liberal-conservative news analysis with Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein, until they co-wrote this in 2012:
Cover of the book “It’s Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided with the New Politics of Extremism” by Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein. The cover is off-white on the left and black on the right, with a tear down the center.

“Really, WaPo,” cried Jeffries with some warmth, “you puzzle me exceedingly. If what I hitherto said can appear to you in the form of encouragement, I know not how to express my refusal in such a way as to convince you of being one.”
