This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

Brutalism can be warm and cozy, welcoming, soft, beautiful... Haters dni
The whole thing is exquisite ribbed (for your pleasure) concrete. Yet it’s soft and quiet, a moon safari in the sky. Hotel Bonaventure. Built above the rail lines even. Canada: once great.

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 6 copies of SUNSHINE by Robin McKinley, which remains one of my favorite vampire books of all time. (I honestly can't think of one I like more, although @tanyahuff.bsky.social's Vicky Nelson series as a whole matches it).

Wait do I have it correct that Joyce Carol Oates said Musk was a shell of a man with no joy in his life and he totally saw it and said "No I'm not" and now he's searching the titles of different movies he likes and replying "great movie"

Yesterday at the farmer’s market I saw a vendor quietly give food to someone whose EBT (SNAP) card didn’t have enough money on it.
People helping people because the president and his administration refuse to.
Even when court-ordered.

Poilievre’s office on allegations of pushing and yelling by Scheer and Warkentin: “Chris d’Entremont, who established himself a liar after willfully deceiving his voters, friends, and colleagues...is now spinning more lies after crossing the floor. He will fit in perfectly in the Liberal caucus.”

This past week there was a photo from Trump's gala of a barely clad woman frolicking in a giant champagne glass.
She looked like a teen.
It made me think of Jane Doe-another young woman who attempted to shine a light on the darkness in Trumpland.
My latest.
