If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky.
Giana, a calico cat, lies on her side with her tummy exposed and eyes mostly closed. A purple toy with catnip is near her front paws.

Here is a laugh for you = today’s ridiculous vacation sighting. At Como Park Zoo in St. Paul, they have motorized scooters dressed up as animals, and you can rent them to zip around the park. May I present… 🤣🤣🦄
Two motorized four wheeled scooters, outfitted with animal costumes. On the left is a lion and on the right a cheetah. A third non-costumed scooter is also visible.

I’m trying to remind myself there’s still beauty in this country so I’m on a short trip chasing waterfalls in upstate NY. Here’s three I saw yesterday.

SO many things to scream about with this proposed budget, but can you imagine removing these sites from NPS operations??? 🤬🤬🤬
This budget only allows for the operation of the 63 National Parks, plus a handful of other select sites. That's it. There's no financial room for anything else. Rather unbelievably, this would effectively abolish nationally significant parks like Lake Mead, Devils Tower, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Mount Rushmore, Gettysburg, and even the National Mall and Memorial Parks.

It’s Annie Day!!! Eight years ago (on the heels of another disastrous election), I brought home this ridiculous floofbeast. She has kept me laughing and sane and loved on me every day since. Happy adoption anniversary, Annie!!! 😻😻😻

You forgot the Floofbeast (aka Floofmeister)! Presenting Annie, a magical specimen of the Floofbeast variety 😻
