Native Women are at the foundation of families and communities.

Mark: Are you singing a song to the dog’s butt?
Me: Yes! Although I will admit rhyming ‘butt’ and ‘pup’ is a bit of a stretch …

FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY BOOK SALE CRAWL

It’s raining! It’s pouring!
But the Friends are full of sunshine smiles!

Visit the Friends Book Sale at four participating libraries;
Balboa, Clairemont, North Clairemont & Serra Mesa.
A smiling pair of white women with glasses — one seated, one standing wearing a Friends of the SD Public Library logo white on blue apron. There is a table with a blue cover and a display of books, bookmarks, tea and a mug, and other ephemera. They are in a library.

Meanwhile, in Clairemont, our Friends Book Sale Crawl will be ... damp? 🌧️ 📚

@sdcitycouncil.bsky.social & Mayor Gloria
My delight in this Sunday AM email was severely tempered by my inability to pick up books until Tuesday,
due to the lack of support of the vital resource of the SD Public Library in the current budget.
Do. Better.

1928 Carl Rose black and white editorial cartoon. A dark haired woman in a dress with a flower on her left shoulder says earnestly to the child she is seated at a dining table with, "It's broccoli, dear." The curly haired child responds "I say it's spinach, and I say the hell with it."

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

Friend's kitty, Dot (AKA Jan because she is the middle sister)
A fluffy young cream colored possibly rag doll cat sprawls bonelessly on the pull out drawer of a desk in front of various work necessities, including a keyboard, monitor, and cup of caffeine. So much belly.

A film that takes place where you’re from
1977 film poster for THE CRATER LAKE MONSTER with marketing claim it features "A beast more frightening than your most terrifying nightmare!" A white man and white woman clasp each other next to a capsized boat, in a generic Pacific NW water setting, with a vaguely dinosaur / kaiju figure silhouetted against the sky approaching them.

@peterclines.bsky.social -- aaaah!
Text from GOD'S JUNK DRAWER, inc,. a selection from chapter 6 ... “Almost,” said Barnes. “If my calculations are correct, and, well, current evidence seems to show they are, there’s a stable Ellis wormhole at a fixed point in Earth’s orbit.” “It’s at one of the Lagrange points?” Barnes shook his head. “No, it’s fixed at September twenty-second, currently at . . . well six fifty-eight Eastern Standard Time.” “Currently?” echoed Kyle. “Leap days. Earth’s orbit is almost six hours longer than a year, so we’re not always at the same point.” “But this hypothetical fixed wormhole is?” Olivia asked. Barnes gave a half smile, almost a smirk, and gestured at the forest again. “It’s not hypothetical.” “So it’s a fixed point in the orbit,” said Logan, “but it’s not a Lagrange point?”
