Damn, dude looks like he just saw a new integrated school open

One great reason to destigmatize disabilities—aside from just that disabled people are human—is that able bodied people become disabled EVERY DAY and there are systems in place that disabled people fought HARD for. USE THEM

Sorry, I’m not allowed to get out of the car until this song is done

Welcome back to ’Tis the Season season! This one’s from Amtrak. #tistheseason

keeping the faith: as seen on the front steps of the house where I dropped off a Buy Nothing offer

Worth re-reading this op-ed from University of Minnesota Morris alumni — this gem of a school deserves continued state investment (no paywall.)

17 strikes and you’re out. 💀

Dog saw a nearby squirrel and growled and shook her soccer ball at it in a disturbingly accurate depiction of what she would do to that squirrel if she caught it.

Cheetahs continue to be scary predators.

Lead singer of Trampled by Turtles says we are “undoubtedly some of the luckiest knuckleheads in the world” Also the Strib still doesn’t want to optimize their links for BlueSky, but as you can see here, all you have to do is append the code ?utm_source=gift to any story to read it for free. YW.

A reminder, fostering is free. They give you all the food and supplies and take care of all the vet stuff. You just have to enjoy the dog and meet with potential permanent adopters. More info: www.thebondbetween.org/foster-dogs

And on the topic of valuing nurses:

Bones & Basil remind me of my beloved Max & Zak, who we brought home under similar circumstances in Chicago back in 1998. Their person was devastated to part with them, but they lived for many years with us, until each died of old age, and were the sweetest pair ever. #Caturday

I have two standard dog greetings: Large breeds: Aren't you just a big ole bag of dog food? Tiny breeds: Aren't you 50lbs of mean in a five pound bag?

“Well, aren’t YOU handsome!” I sing out to the Bernese mountain dog who was just shampooed at the pet store where I’m about to drop an ungodly amount of money Then I see the guy handling her, who looks a little startled

I feel like BlueSky is where everyone goes to workshop their Subway Takes. (I would watch the hell out of some of you on Subway Takes.)

She’s on her throne of judgment, happy #Caturday to all

There’s no paywall on this tragic personal story by Kennedy’s stoic cousin Tatiana Schlossberg. But also, as I was searching in vain for a “gift” link I remembered that everyone with a @hclib.bsky.social card can read the entire New Yorker for free with the Libby app. 🌠

"It'll be fine," I said. "I only need to know enough about these people to make jokes," I said.

“I have never encountered a group of people who are more competent, more full of grace and empathy, more willing to serve others than nurses. Nurses should take over.”

It’s very funny to me that he apparently considers this detail exculpatory www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/s...

Nothing like watching your child house an entire carton of raspberries in one sitting to give you economic anxiety
