There is…more fabric than I thought possible. My stash has at LEAST octupled, and I was already bursting at the seams.

I thought the same! Our A line is 32.39 miles long, while Rhode

I am mad at whoever put this sweet kitty outside, who I now have to (get to!) rehabilitate. I am more mad at whatever circumstances led them to this decision. (The list is long, but I haven’t had coffee yet.)

Jersey City, No Kings!

Biggest thing I learned today? I miss singing in community.

The Antifa-est! ❤️❤️
Kelly was a lifelong supporter of the Democratic Party. His period of greatest prominence coincided with the McCarthy era in the US. In 1947, he was part of the Committee for the First Amendment, the Hollywood delegation that flew to Washington to protest against the first official hearings which were held by the House Committee on Un-American Activities. His first wife, Betsy Blair, was suspected of being a communist sympathizer, and when United Artists, which had offered Blair a part in Marty (1955), were considering withdrawing her under pressure from the American Legion, Kelly successfully threatened MGM's influence on United Artists with a pullout from It's Always Fair Weather unless his wife was restored to the part.[16][43] He used his position on the board of directors of the Writers Guild of America West on a number of occasions to mediate disputes between unions and the Hollywood studios.

Everything feels really rough right now, so I feel it’s important you all see this dog wrapped in a blanket, being transported in the basket of a bike.
The dog is very calm, perhaps elderly, and the cyclist has perfectly matched red shirt and shoes. The sun is starting to go down over the street behind her

It’s the most wonderful tiiiiiime of the year! Genuinely do not know what I’d do if my partner did not like sports. Our internet remains undefeated.
An array of screens. Yankees/Orioles on the TV. Four laptops and an iPad are laid out on two coffee tables showing four more baseball games and the NFL Red Zone channel.

Greetings from our new basement cat who, until 3 days ago, I was afraid might be Extremely Unhappy Indoors. #feralnomore #rescuecatsofBluesky
A brown tabby gets head scratches and ear twiddles and is looking extremely relaxed, making air biscuits with closed eyes and leaning into my hand and leg The same brown tabby peers up over the edge of a blue bed, following the path of a red squeezable treat tube

Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?

(Not so much the announcement maybe, but my response.)

…Anyway, we’ve made it, and have also already spent hundreds of dollars. Here are some sample fares to Boston.

But we don’t so much have high speed rail here. There’s a faster train that costs closer to $350, but it usually has to go the same speed as all the other trains. …

Bonus kitten content: a very dirty Aphy being protective of HER babies
The same very dirty black and white cat (she’s so grey!) crouching in a crate in front for four small kittens. They are all safe and sound, with full bellies.

Apparently today is National Kitten Day, and we are supposed to post pics of our cats as kittens. Here are
Motueka (grey) and Aphrodite, then and now. I didn’t know Aphy as a kitten, but here’s the first pic I have of her as she approached me in a tow yard.
Four pictures in a block. Upper left shows a grey tabby kitten sitting in front of a mirror. Upper right, same cat as an adult stretching out on a brown floral rug. Lower left, a dirty black and white cat on the pavement in front of a chain link fence. A white woman’s hand is stretched out to scratch her cheek. Lower right, same cat asleep and upside down on a grey couch. Former street cats now in the lap of luxury.

Using nothing but the word “pic” as alt-text is actively bad and insulting. Better not to use it at all?
Norman Rockwell’s painting Freedom of Speech from The Four Freedoms. A man who looks suspiciously like a clean-shaven Abraham Lincoln stands to speak at some kind of meeting. He is wearing workwear-a blue checked shirt and a brown jacket. He stands up in a crowd of better-dressed other white people who turn to look at him. His hands are on the back of the bench in front of him and he looks up and to his right (viewers’ left). His mouth is slightly open and it looks like he is about to say something important.
