Another vertical format small watercolour. This one shows All Saints' Passage in Cambridge (1999). On the right you can see the sign for Ray's Barber Shop. Cambridge has always had wonky old lamps (some of them used then to still be gas lit) #art #watercolour #Cambridge

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

Props to the lady giving an interview in her pink UFFDA hat and saying, "well, gosh, I've never had tear gas and flashbangs shot at me, but I'm happy to take it so my neighbors are safe."

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Family is not an important thing. It is everything. Nothing replaces it. Nothing comes close.

Doggy’s favorite time of day. He puts on his fish shirt, fish hat and he sits in his chair and watches all the fish in the tanks and then he takes a nap. 🥰😅 How cute is that?!

Oops: LAST Week’s Honorary Unsubscribe for Charles Norman Shay is an amazing story of service to his fellow soldiers. It only takes 4 minutes, but is a must-read.

Eek! My husband gave me this ornament and I’m so excited.

Show me how your 2025 went

In my elementary years, I wrote and illustrated a picture book and entered it in the country fair. I won a blue ribbon. I guess you could say I’m an award winning author. lol

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.

It’s not really my thing. I just want a nap.

This picture has been making the rounds again, and is being misidentified again. This is a GOOSEFISH. This is NOT a tasselled wobbegong shark. It’s a great pic. I get why people are very excited about it. But it’s as easy to give it the right name as the wrong one. fullfact.org/online/tasse...

I think this is pretty. I love seeing inspirational words on garden walls and on buildings.

when you censor the word "rape," people who have it muted for trigger purposes will still see it. it does not affect the algorithm on bluesky one way or another. you're just circumventing people's protections. don't do that.

Four Christmas movies to know me by…

Hal hadn’t survived three Thanksgivings by being stupid.

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?" My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.) The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope? Because Greta is right ..

'Aboriginal art is all just dots' no... no it really isn't mate. I'm very lucky to work in a place surrounded by gorgeous art like this. #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe 🖤💛♥️

An American military cemetery in the Netherlands has removed a pair of display panels discussing the 174 Black soldiers buried at the site. The Netherlands American Cemetery is the final resting place for 8,301 American soldiers who died fighting in WWII. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

My Christmas cactus is brightening up today.

Before ACA, many Americans couldn’t afford insurance Alex Smith was a diabetic who got kicked off his Mom’s insurance at 26 He made 35k a year which was “too much” for Medicaid, but not nearly enough to cover insurance premiums He had to ration his insulin & died a month after losing insurance

I’ve had Nirvana’s Lithium stick in my head for three days now, and that’s okay, yeah, yeah. I’m not gonna crack.

I'll just let the experts do all the explaining. #SNAP

Wow you can see and take pictures of Orion pretty clearly tonight, usually the light pollution is too much for my phone to handle.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Wishing you a gentle and kind November 🐾🤍

Happy Halloween

Friends is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994-2004, following 6 young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, & Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, & personal growth over 10 seasons. P. S. Quote marks make screen readers sad.

If you see this, quote with a vampire that isn’t Dracula.
