How’s this work? Do we share pictures and such, or is this platform just for reposting political stuff. Many of us are here to consciously stay off Facebook…..but I miss the pictures of dogs & cats & kids. So here’s the sunrise outside right now. Enjoy & may you find some semblance of peace today.

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Trump just pardoned these people.

Don’t ever tell me Republicans “back the blue” again.

How to bathe a pigeon. Give your pigeon a large dog bowl of slightly warm water. He will climb in. He will loll around. Then, after splashing most of the water out of the bowl, he will shake off, do some happy flappies and spend some time admiring himself in his mirror. #rescuepigeonBob

1. Happening now, the Montana House of Representatives will be hearing HB121 on the House Floor.

This bill would ban transgender people from bathrooms across the state in many buildings, and would hold those who let them pee liable.

Follow along with me.
