'Resting Fox' by UK printmaker Sarah Bays #WomensArt

I think we all know how this really started

“I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend?” - Robert Redford 💔

Anyway, here is a closeup of Sushi’s kitty kankles.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

Sushi’s dental surgery starts in a few hours (cleaning and possible extractions). If this makes its way to your timeline, please send pawsitive vibes her way.🤍🧡🖤

August 31st VS September 1st

“Donald Trump is pro gun violence.” Rep. Maxwell Frost is right, and it’s about time more people in power tell it like it is.

“I don’t evolve, I cocoon.” Same, Wednesday Addams, same. 🖤

I can’t wait for summer to end.

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Okay, so it’s now the Environmental Pollution Agency. Got it.

Will it be ever thus?

She’s so pretty.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Senator Whitehouse is absolutely right, and I wish more of our elected officials would speak up.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

Only 3 minutes into Nosferatu and I have to pause it so I can check Does the Dog Die, to be sure Ellen’s cat will be okay.

🕊️ With everything going on in the world, here’s a reminder back when 2-year- old JFK Jr. claimed that he had spotted a rabbit in the WH Rose Garden. Trump is now paving it all with concrete because he slipped on wet grass there recently. [ John F. Kennedy, Jr. in the Rose Garden, 26 April 1963. ]

I hope everyone who farmed clicks by arguing that trump was anti war in some sense is proud of themselves

Every day feels like the first chapters of a dystopian novel and his voters still think it’s just part of the plan. We should be coming up with ideas on how to save the planet, not creating more existential threats. Instead we’re sleepwalking towards both a civil and global war.

Apparently trump is going to see a performance of Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center and it will be lost on him that Jean Valjean was arrested because he stole a loaf of bread for a starving family. Trumpoleon will likely fall asleep or post Regina George insults on his socials. What a waste.

Gavin Newsom and his team are doing a good job at social media. Using comebacks and memes to just straight up murder muffukahs. Pay attention, Dems. This is how it’s done.

Today’s vibe

Today’s Wordle feels like a bit of shade, and I love it. Wordle 1,436 4/6 ⬛🟨⬛⬛🟨 🟨🟩⬛🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness 😭😭😭🧡🧡🧡🧡

The first American Pope, Leo XIV, has just been elected. Prevost, from Chicago, is deemed to be in the mold of Pope Francis—a progressive. Yes, this is real.

Renewables were 92% of new power added in 2024. Low carbon sources now accounts for 41% of worldwide electricity. Though, I can’t help but look at this graph and think about how much better it would look if we weren’t retiring nuclear plants so much faster than we’re building them.

I climb'd into this garden, to see if I can eat grass or pick a sallet. 2 Henry VI #ShakespeareSunday

From you have I been absent in the spring, When proud-pied April, dressed in all his trim, Hath put a spirit of youth in everything, That heavy Saturn laughed and leaped with him. #ShakespeareSunday www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/50503/...
