This was genuinely fun to listen to. Everyone in The Doobie Brothers looked and sounded like they were enjoying themselves. And that sax!

I am just now learning of @npr.org great Susan Stamberg’s passing. I love her voice; it was THE sound of public radio for me when I first started listening. I hope to hear her recipe for cranberry relish this year on @wuft.org

Oh gosh, @totalvibration.bsky.social talk about bittersweet: I, too, loved my ex’s mom. What a wonderful woman. And I hope she knew it, rest her soul. Thanks for the feels. ❤️ (Re: your comment on Kate LeBon’s album during @npr.org All Songs Considered: New Music Friday.)

Why does this new bottle of All Free and Clear laundry detergent (right) list ethanol as an ingredient, while their SmartLabel listing does not? Also, 73 fluid oz as opposed to 88 (current bottle, left), but still 49 uses.
Shows current bottle on the left and its list of ingredients which doesn’t include ethanol, and the new bottle in the right, with an ingredient list including ethanol. Front of bottles, with current bottle showing 88 fluid ounces and 49 loads, while new bottle on the right is only 73 fluid ounces but still lists 49 loads.

It’s clear to me that from Robin’s tone, snide asides, and references to the Doobie Brothers that he has mixed Roséwave up with Yacht Rock.

Hadn’t heard that one. That saying is going to stick with me.

I did it! I ran 6.21 Summer Solstice miles for the @alzassociation.bsky.social and in honor of #TheLongestDay, for all those fighting the darkness of ALZ and other dementias. One goal down, one to go! Please donate: act.alz.org/goto/alz-jen...
Me, sweaty and smiling, wearing my purple Alzheimer’s shirt that reads The day with the most light is the day we fight. I had just finished my run on Saturday. The Garmin image titled Run the Longest Day for ALZ 💜 shows I ran 6.21 miles in an hour and 18 minutes. It also shares the superfluous details that my average heart rate was 147, my average pace was 12:38/mile, and I burnt 616 calories.

My night-blooming cactus flower with my 3.7 Charity Miles and the sponsor UCAN. The flower has creamy white petals and pale green sepals that are tipped in pink — they enclose the flower before it opens. It has a ton of tiny white anthers tipped in pollen that attract moths and other night-flying insects.

This Memorial Day, I ran for Army Lieutenant Colonel Paul J Finken, who died in service to our country on November 2, 2006 in Iraq. #wearblueruntoremember #livingmemorial
I wrote LTC Paul J. Finken’s name on my arm so I could see it while running.

ICE raids home, takes all the family’s cash and phones — even though they weren’t the suspects the officials had a warrant for. A woman and her daughters, made to stand outside in their underwear during search of the home. 😢 If you’re not getting worried, you’re not paying attention.

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

A horrible story but god bless this woman so accurately reading the ICE goons for filth here
Marisa said she is eft with nothing BUt questions. "What if I would have been armed," she 2 said. "You're breaking in. What am 1 supposed to think? My initial thought was we were being robbed-that my daughters, being females, were being kidnapped. You have guns pointed in our faces. Can you just reprogram yourself and see us as humans, as women? A little bit of mercy. Care a little bit about your fellow human, about your fellow citizen, fellow resident. We bleed too. We vork. We pleed justlike anybody else bleeds. We're scared. You could see our faces that we were terrified. What makes you so much more worthier of your peace? What makes you so much more worthier of protecting your children? What makes you so much more worthy of your citizenship? What makes you more worthy of safety? Of being given the ight t that they took from me to protect my daughters?"

Happy Opening Day! ⚾️“Do you know what you’ll be doing in September?Do you know anything about September 2025 in this chaotic world at all? Here’s one thing you do know: There will be baseball” www.mlb.com/news/reasons...
It's finally Opening Day! Here's why you should savor every second
In some ways, Opening Day is just another day of baseball -- one out of 162 games in a long and winding season. But it doesn’t feel like that right now, does it? No, as Thursday’s first pitch approach...

Felt moved to donate bc I have friends, also with a trans child, who had once hoped to move back here to Florida but now feel that it’s impossible. As much as we miss them, we agree. 💔 Good luck to Winston and his family.

I replied to this last night and I'm going to send one more slightly desperate post now. My ex is really terrified of this move and this fundraiser is basically the only carrot I have. Every dollar makes it easier for me to get my trans daughter to safety before puberty. gofund.me/8664c1dc
