In Matt 25 Jesus says that individuals & nations will be judged by how they care for the poor & sick. Govt is shutdown bc GOP wants to throw 12-20 million low-income/disabled Americans off Medicaid. Bc the GOP uses Jesus as a prop, while despising His actual commandments.

I have seen this a hundred times and it never gets old. I love this dog ❤️🥰

Tea and banana bread, which I stupidly bought without paying attention to the giant yellow label that reads, “with walnuts.” I hate walnuts. But, I’d already opened it; I’m eating it anyway. I’m attempting to pick them out. Also, it’s not very good because it’s not homemade or fresh bakery made. 1/2

🎯 @repdean.bsky.social is right, and @SpeakerJohnson knows it. What is it called when everyone in a group is too afraid to criticize the leader for something they know is objectively wrong?

"If we lose hope, we're doomed." We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

This makes me sad…

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

Not “used to it” by any stretch of the imagination, not in the slightest. It’s alarming and terrifying af.

I’m more worried about that speech this morning about waging war on citizens and cities than I am about a government shut down. How f-ed up that is.

I am just not feeling well. Nothing of an emergency in nature, just not well 🫩 I can’t tell if it’s vitamin deficiency or which vitamin deficiency it might be if it is. I struggle to regulate vitamins/nutrition, either over or under supplementation. I eat healthy…😵‍💫

Nothing like waiting until the last minute to do your homework…😬

I don’t think you could be anything but deeply and profoundly disturbed by this. What will these military leaders do?

The patio door I’ve pondered going back to add more detail but just never have.

Art offering of the day I’m sure I’ve posted this before…it’s one of my favorites. I painted it on my back door. If I ever get a new door I’m going to need to figure out how to salvage this. Mixed media 2” x 3” Perched on the door knob #art #artist #visualart #mixedmedia #birdie #littlebirdesigns

Words matter. I was chided by a writer (last week?) for my comment on their post regarding Kimmel being put back on air in “defiance” of DJT. The author reacted to my opinion with snarky defensiveness as if I had attacked them. I felt really badly at the time. I don’t anymore.

I’m just sitting here wondering when Argentina is sending me the keys to my new house and my dual citizenship papers? 20 billion from the US Gov should buy that.

They call themselves the party of law and order. They call themselves Christians. Yet, here they are, protecting pedophiles and criminals. Russ Fulcher and @mikecrapo.bsky.social #poprep #GOP #epstein

The "lung float" test is being used to charge women with murder. Many experts say it's unreliable. “There’s no way you can determine live birth versus stillbirth with this test," said one doctor, who called the test “an outrageous breach of science.” (Pub. Oct. 2023)

ATTN GREEN BERETS: New AO is Portland. Mission: De Oppresso Liber. Enemy: militant vegans, bicycle brigades, $9 lattes. Terrain: food trucks & drum circles. Secure kombucha lines, neutralize rogue flannel cells. Freedom isn’t free—it comes with artisanal avocado toast. Godspeed, Operators.

My side yard, the left 2016, I think; the right today. The neighbors across the street were building their garden shed, I believe. My goal was to create privacy. Granted, I have more work to do. The beds need revamping, sod needs removed. I’m adding pea gravel? Still, it’s a huge difference. Trees!

A little Saturday reading. I cannot help but see similarities between now with the red hat cult and then. Different iterations but the same mentality, really. Same politics, same motivations. suppressedhistories.net/secrethistor...

Athena says have a lovely weekend; find your joy. Joy is an act of resistance. #athena #mainecoon #caturday #goddess

I would say integrity is paramount in my code. Have I faltered myself in the past? Perhaps, in my youth, a lesson very hard learned; no doubt, with tremendous guilt and remorse, thus putting the concept utmost in my code of ethics to uphold. Fail that, you’ve lost my respect, trust, loyalty.

The hydrangea on the wreath are wilting…I was hoping they’d hold some form and dry in place but suspect they’ll wither away quite quickly. They’re so big…I’d need a vat of silica sand. (I have enough for small blooms). It makes me sad…

She has to lay on my sweater…

Just showed up on my iPad. The gorgeous and ever sweet little moon, the Lady Iris. The sweetest of sweet peas. Pure Stardust🌟💫✨⭐️ I miss her terribly.

The Brits get it. I wish the other half of America could admit what they elected.
