"The bottom line is: There's no accountability for ICE, either in the courts, internally or from Congress." The "WAR ZONE" is ICE itself.

Leavitt is a psychopath. And so are her friends.

That's crazy. NO wonder these people don't care about balancing the national budget.

Four months ago today, respected Minnesota legislator Melissa Hortman was assasinated in a planned shooting by an extremist. October 14 would be better served honoring her death (and her husband, and injured Senator Hortman and wife) instead of a podcaster and professional provocateur.

Tea flowers look like popcorn when they fall off the bush. And there are honey bees all over it.

This, however, is wonderful. abc11.com/post/medical...

My bicolor butterfly bush makes me as happy as it does our pollinators.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!

I texted my friend and said "Do you want to a) come talk to me while I plant stuff, b) go get a coffee or c) do stuff that it not with me?" She chose A. The tulips are planted. The pansies are planted. We had good talk. I pulled a little weeds. This was a nice day.

I wish I did better at keeping up with where I got books I've read. I can usually remember the format. But, I absolute have to go shopping through everwhere I've ever gotten a book to reread at least half of them.

"If you keep following us, you WILL be arrested." Tweet! Tweet! Tweet! Zoooooom!

Gonna let tomorrow be planting day. I just don't feel like dealing with the wet. Tulips in front; pansies in the back.

It's raining. So, no yardwork today. I need to go pick up my prescription and I'll see if I can find some sunflower chips while I'm out. (They make less mess than safflower seeds and don't sprout.) Hummingbirds are about gone and finches, etc. have been showing up hoping for snacks.

There is a piece of this that I really don't understand. Why are rural areas so consistently Republican and the urban ones so Democratic? Even Fayeteville has Democrats representing them in the General Assembly. www.ncleg.gov/FindYourLegi...

Well, THAT’S gonna make a difference.

Because teachers have time for that extra labor. 🤬

I say again, if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrement.

Does anyone have a fairly simple seafood recipe to share? We keep tilapia and shrimp around. And canned clams for pasta. Since I'm no longer working, I need to do more of the dinner cooking and I only have 6 recipes in my regular rotation.

If you are at all interested in Georgia O'Keefe, this is worth seeing. www.imdb.com/title/tt3377...

Today, I came in when it was 80ºF/26.6ºC. I got about 1/3 of the roadside bed cleaned up. And that felt like a good day's work. In the mean time, Chuck got the whole south fence done. I'm a slacker.

I am sitting on a towel in my underwear and drinking cold water, cooling down from epic effort outside. The zinnia patch around the well has been weeded, reseeded (maybe) and mulched. It is 82ºF with 57% humidity. I am done for the day.

Peekaboo!

She doesn’t even hesitate, though you can hear her voice shake. THAT is what courage sounds like. She’s just beautiful. #love

I had no idea that watching other people watching Mr Rogers would make me cry. You’ve gotta see! Watch out for the tears. You’ve been warned.

If you didn't already know ICE are thugs and scum, you REALLY haven't been paying attention. Tell me again how gang members are criminals. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

My new chair made me clean out the clutter corner of my bedroom. Using it instead of sitting on the bed when I watch TV at night has made my back quit hurting when I wake up in the morning. (Chuck gets the living room TV for sports in the evening and we share the sofa when we watch together.)

This so stupid. That's how you are SUPPOSED to dispose of a flag. nationalflagfoundation.org/etiquette/ho...

BTW, AltText allows you to include 2000 additional letters/digits on each picture you attach to a post.

Does that look ‘possum-chewed to you?

I moved the hibiscus from the roadside flowerbed to a spot off the patio. Done for the day and I do not smell sweet. (This picture is from a couple of years ago.)

I love watching the honeybees on the tea flowers.

I planted clematis seeds by the downspouts at teh front of the house, pulled grass and weeds out of the little area between the patio and the water garden, moved 2 carts of mulch and cleaned up after myself. I brought in the black colocasia and the nepenthes because it's going to get...

This really pisses me off.

Is there a way to tell Carfax I already bought a car so they'll quit advertising to me on every site I visit?

@sarahlcrowder.bsky.social !!

Should have skipped laundry yesterday and mulched instead. (I never did get to outside work.) Now, it’s raining. Oh well. Not like it’s going to melt.
