Frankie just wants to reach me at the front door. Ida is having a ball.
Brown dog standing on a gray living room rug, straining toward an unseen front door. Her pink leash stretches taut behind her, anchored by a tabby cat who is biting, clasping and wrapping herself around it.

Cardboard sign with "No Kings and fewer stupid assholes" The person holding it is wearing a shirt that says "Abolish Ice" in different colors.

Half of the people who reacted to this sign laughed and complimented the maker. The other half looked venomous and reaffirmed that the speaker is horrible and repulsive person. No one hates him more than Louisianans. #NoKings, #Nola
Cardboard sign reading "Mike Johnson's Kink is Protection Pedophiles (someone tell his accountability partner!) The person holding it is wearing a shirt that says "Abolish Ice" in different colors.

Anyone have any idea what plant this is? I rooted it from a clipping of a plant I saw in Tromso, Norway.

Hi #cactus #cacti #plants #succulents. I need advice! My cactus started graying on top a few years ago (#2-3) But there's also healthy new growth (#4). It's on a covered porch, so gets sun but not much rain. Can't tell if I over or underwatered? This is NOLA, so very hot & humid. What should I do?
Big cactus in a pot on a brick front porch with parked cars in the near distance. #2 #3 #4

The guitar guy singing “This Land” while the woman on the orange bike films it and harmonizes. Moments later a second line come through with a walking krewe of dancers.

Everything is terrible, but
Tabby siblings asleep on a white couch, snuggling in two quilts. He’s curled and near the camera. She’s belly up and pointing her toes.
