Baby’s gone absolute brush bristles
Soup’s too thick
Rhinestone choker & gun in the garter
Kkssh! Check your upstairs window.

Picnicking the analysis
Shaking a pie tin while saying you’re Stevie Nicks
Loper, loper, time to get a corset

The mayor of NYC could also unleash daily sanitation, building & restaurant inspections on all Trump properties & see to it that the streets in front of them are dug up for noisy underground repairs taking months or years to complete so he's got at least an arrow or two of retaliation in his quiver
This piece normalizes the “temperamental president” and his threats to engage in extralegal punishment against New York City.

It's always a celebration when all the ducks pass through Central Park during migration. One of my favorites is the Bufflehead--don't you love the name? And when the sun hits the male's feathers just right, the iridescence is ridiculous! 💙💚💜 #Bufflehead #CentralPark #birding

What Was the American Revolution For?
Amid plans to mark the nation’s semiquincentennial, many are asking whether or not the people really do rule, and whether the law is still king.

I really loved the Star Trek: Khan audio drama; just about to finish my second time through it. Does anyone have other fully produced, well written audio dramas to recommend? Not into mysteries, don't want reality, especially don't want true crime. Looking for a great story. Thanks for the help!

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

Making It Big has been around a few decades & used to manufacture in the US but I doubt they still do, because it went from expensive to prohibitive. I bought from them when I was bigger, but no longer care for their styles.
