Ozzie and Thora are sorry for being late, but they were too tired to post.

Not the most well-designed poster, but I like the message:

BREAKING NEWS: suspect has been caught red handed (red pawed?) with a second victim. @darthbluesky.bsky.social surely this is enough to bring charges?

I can’t with national news right now, but I have an important local news thread.🧵

Expensive meal to celebrate the school budget passing by a 2-1 margin: eggs and wine. #NHpolitics

My neighbor posts various poets’ works on our town’s listserv. Today’s post:
Resilience by James Crews We are not blades of grass that can bounce back after being stepped on, not foam pillows slowly returning to our former shape, having been pressed down one too many times. We must lie flat on the earth for now and stay with the breaking, resilience and repair not possible just yet. And though we may appear lifeless, defeated, like a tulip bulb in winter, let others be fooled as a new kind of fuel fills these veins, gathering power inside us again.

Saved in March, sadly relevant in December.
Cartoon of a conference table of generic white politician-type men looking to the head of the table where chief generic politician says, “Before we discuss raising taxes on the poor & middle class, adding $1 trillion to the deficit, taking health insurance away from 13 million, raising premiums 200%, defending treason and swearing in a pedophile, let’s begin with a prayer.”

I’ll take it.
If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to just pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it. - Stephen Colbert

Mixed messages confuse me.
Two construction signs on a sidewalk that say, “Sidewalk closed” and “Heavy truck traffic - stay on sidewalk “

Saved during the early days of COVID. I hate that it’s so needed today again.
My grandmother once gave me a tip: In difficult times, you move forward in small steps. Do what you have to do, but little by little. Don't think about the future, or what may happen tomorrow. Wash the dishes. Remove the dust. Write a letter. Make a soup. You see? You are advancing step by step. Take a step and stop. Rest a little. Praise yourself. Take another step. Then another. You won't notice, but your steps will grow more and more. And the time will come when you can think about the future without crying. - Elena Mikhalkova

This seems like a dubious claim to fame. Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,524,040!

@darthbluesky.bsky.social What should I give an old dog who barked at bear yesterday, startling said bear and sending it back into the woods? Besides a seat on the couch which she obviously earned?
