Great rendition of a classic 60's protest song by a family of super-talented musicians, updated to pay tribute to the people of Minnesota bravely defending their fellow citizens against assaults by ICE. @thesereneartist.bsky.social @icyvelvet.bsky.social @joyaz.bsky.social @clarak222.bsky.social

@icyvelvet.bsky.social I think I found your kitty's cousin! Say "Hello" to Mr. Higgins! 🐱 🐈 😸

Ahh! I've found the perfect lockscreen for my iPad to greet me with those enchanting eyes, the timeless American musical treasure, Linda Ronstadt! 🥰 🌹 💖 🤗 🎤 🎼 🎵 🎶 🎸 😍

Men behaving badly! 🤦‍♂️ 😅

@icyvelvet.bsky.social Velvet, here's what I was talking about earlier. Very tasteful and artistic. She's very talented at creating these images.

Terrific

@icyvelvet.bsky.social Morgan Fairchild & Donna Mills, activism, passion, & glamor! An unbeatable combination! 🥰

@theonetruelou.bsky.social As an autism advocate, you might appreciate "Astrid", a smartly scripted show on PBS Masterpiece about an autistic criminal-records clerk with unique mental skills who teams up with an impulsive detective to help solve puzzling crimes. share.google/ofi6zTwHLr8g...

It’s important not to forget where this leads and the lives it destroys.

@cjeanmartini.bsky.social Love your new profile pic! So, how's that fabulous new guitar treating you? Is it rewarding you with sweet tones as you pluck the strings with your longer nails? I'm happy for you & hope you'll get many years of pleasure learning the mystical secrets of the Spanish guitar.

Enjoy these highlights of the dramatic finale of the Tour de France Femmes 🇫🇷 🚴🏼‍♀️!

@icyvelvet.bsky.social @carafromcadiz.bsky.social Girls just wanna have fun! 😊 They DO have fun, but they work hard to earn it.

@cjeanmartini.bsky.social CJ, you may have missed my reply to you.

@jejja13.bsky.social Congratulations on Sweden's victory over Germany for the first time in European competition, with the ever so lovely Asllani on the pitch! 🥰 ⚽

@momiekyle.bsky.social As a supporter of women's issues and decency in general, you'll probably find this commentary by David Attenborough about the uncalled-for criticism of Taylor Swift moving, meaningful, and timely. www.facebook.com/share/p/15sg...

You're watching “America: The Distraction.” Starring Trump, directing a cast of bootlicking sycophants, written by chaos. Plot twist? There isn't one—just a daily circus of grift, gaslighting, and golf. Pundits? Exhausted. Reality? Cancelled. The shell game's on, and truth? It's off the table.

@shelbykstewart.bsky.social Memo to Ms. Shelby Kent-Stewart: This note is to remind you that your book report is overdue. Failure to turn it in will result in a grade of Incomplete and your graduation may be postponed. 📚 📝 🎓 🙄 🤭 😉 😊

@icyvelvet.bsky.social A rare mid-ride selfie, with my phone propped by my waterbottle, taken April 17, 2025. Don't be fooled by the tight lycra outfit with bib shorts. They hide a lot of my excess midriff bulge! 🙁 🚴‍♂️ 😎 🤷‍♂️

@icyvelvet.bsky.social Love your new profile pic! 🥰

@laurachapin.bsky.social Just curious. You wouldn't happen to be related to the multitalented singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter, would you? 🎸🎻🎤 🎼 🎶 🎵

Fun fact! You know those cycling races like the Tour de France & the Giro d'Italia? A little-known fringe benefit is—wait for it—improving infrastructure! YES! They often repave many miles of roads prior to the events to make it safer for the racers! 🇺🇸 Neilson Powless! 🚴👇😎 youtu.be/MO4OpPVhN1g?...

@shelbykstewart.bsky.social I really don't mean to impose on you or come off sounding pushy, but I'm still wondering if you read the story about Madame Zilensky and what you thought about it as a character study and about the unusual ending?

@lunaluvgood2020.bsky.social @icyvelvet.bsky.social Luna, that's nice advice you provided to Kim. I'm sure she appreciated your ideas about the simple pleasures of life. Hope you enjoy this hibiscus. 🌺 🙏

@mariahbrown.bsky.social Any idea 💡 about the color?🎨 (Not really that important. I was just testing out the camera on my new OnePlus 13 phone! 😊)

Hibiscus. 🌺 Hot pink? Magenta? Some other color? 🤔 🤷‍♂️ 🌺

Behold! A rare sight in pro cycling, perhaps never before seen—THREE American riders together, leading the peloton up the 18% climb to the finish line at La Côte-Saint-André on Stage 5 of Paris-Nice!

youtu.be/rYEk6P0jRho?... You might have missed this sparkling gem 💎 of ecological commentary lyrics, beautiful melody & vocal harmonies by one of the greatest bands of our times. From the masterpiece double studio album "Long Road Out Of Eden". 🎸🎤 🎼 🎶

@icyvelvet.bsky.social Do you follow Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker in Star Wars)? You should. He posts humorous & very clever comments on the insanity of Trumpian MAGA politics.

@shelbykstewart.bsky.social Shelby, in case you missed my little cautionary note, I'm reposting it. There's also a nugget of prescient wisdom from Abraham Lincoln that's eerily relevant today.

@coffeeandspite.bsky.social I guess you didn't see my last reply, so I'm reposting it. With our democracy turning more & more into a christo-fascist autocracy as Der Führer Trump & Chief Executioner Musk consolidate their totalitarian power, we really should be on the same team. Don't you agree? 🤔

@drginnymac.bsky.social Apparently, you didn't see my reply about Galveston, so I'm reposting it in case you're interested.

@nbedera.bsky.social FWIW, I got my Master's at U of Michigan & my older brother got his PhD in physics there. Soon after I arrived in Ann Arbor in 1972, the whole campus became enthralled with the World Chess Championship between Bobby Fischer & Boris Spassky just starting in Reykjavik, Iceland!♟️

@maryscottoconnor.com If you'll indulge me, Ms. Mary Scott O'Connor, I offer this tribute for your consideration on this day after Valentine's Day. 🌹 💖 🙏

youtu.be/kDpn_2Aadao?... Wow! Just WOW! Fabulous performance of a piece from the famous opera La Vida Breve by Manuel de Falla! Even if you've never heard this music, you owe it to yourself to listen to it on a big screen with a good sound system. Consider it a belated Valentine's Day gift! 🌹🙏 ❤️ 🎶

@klosterwoman.bsky.social For what it's worth, I think Kentucky is a beautiful state. I have a sister-in-law who lives near Lexington, so I've been there many times. The people I've met in Kentucky are always friendly, kind, & welcoming. 🤗 💙 🐎
