I placed an order on a Small Business was Saturday whim and… wow! Whipped bergamot white tea body butter is some serious hand crafted luxury. But the hands down fave is the pineapple soap with the loofah in it (it has a real name — this wasn’t it). Absolutely drool worthy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

I’m currently navigating a career pivot, and it’s clarifying what matters: Purpose + Pension + People. The 'hustle culture' of the 2010s is dead. The 2026 vibe is 'Sustainable Impact.' Anyone else feeling a shift in what they want from their 9-to-5?

Since things are already ridiculous, would someone please run footage of Trump falling asleep and pitch it as, “The Anti-Woke President”. Pretty please? I mean, it’s right there… (someone has already done this, right?)

Sun is up (or on its way). Coffee is ready. Time to tune into the radio. Good Morning, America! #RadioFreeAmerica youtu.be/B2nCugGQZO0?...

“The Trump administration is snapping up ownership shares of private companies it deems essential to national security. It is an unusual new strategy that has already committed more than $10 billion in taxpayer funds and shows little sign of slowing.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

A very focused Downy Woodpecker. I was pretty close, but he was so intent on foraging, he took no notice #birds 🌿

My husband keeps trying to convince me that raccoons are domesticating themselves. He has clearly never seen the 40lb raccoons waddling through the woods. You give these floofs some room. And they have opposable thumbs. Yeh… no.

What I find interesting about this is that it’s my kids (3 teens) who convinced me to stay away from AI. They despise it.

Brandi Carlile has a way of making any performance feel like a tête-à-tête, a deep emotional exchange between friends that just happens to take place in a crowd. n.pr/3M78tCt

A total of 22 rescue workers with special equipment were deployed to the scene in the southern Germany city of Tuebingen on Friday to free the 20-year-old but a “forceps delivery was not necessary," Dawg ☠️😭🤣

Hey guys make sure you periodically check your lights before heading out. Especially the license plate light. My friend is currently being detained on a "routine" traffic stop.

big tech has been a huge driver of the reactionary authoritarian turn in U.S.. politicians with courage can make the connections here, but they also have to tie it to an anti-corporate and redistributive agenda. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/u...

We have spent more than 1,000 years trying to separate the awesome prosecutorial powers of the state from the personal whims and vendettas of the head of state. Trump’s actions and ideology seek to reverse those gains. Here’s the history he’d like to reverse www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/the-oldest...

Sun is slowly peaking out. Coffee is starting to boil. And the manatees are beginning to stir. Opening with a soft request from @yapierberg. Good Morning, America! #RadioFreeAmerica youtu.be/nfQNhNHKPzw?...

Happy Caturday! Novi Noodle and Kanga Khan started off life in a dumpster outside of a gas station.

I know it may be hard to find something to be thankful for this year, but remember, there are always cats.

If you’re in the market for a very inexpensive but high quality wok, this is my favorite wok. Highly recommend.

The era we are living in offers too many illustrations of greed, narcissism, and hatefulness. But I still believe we can recommit ourselves to serving the common good of all Americans. [Artwork by Jennifer Bloomer]

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

Timeline cleanser

All NSF SBE DDRIG solicitations have been archived and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Grants currently submitted will be processed, but as always, chances of funding remain very low. This means anyone aiming for the upcoming deadline will not be able to submit. 1/3

Residential ratepayer advocates are on the front lines of the utility affordability crisis, going up against some of the most powerful monopoly corporations in the country. I'm thankful for these unsung heroes this Thanksgiving. (1/2) www.eenews.net/articles/dat...

Who should pay the extra energy costs associated with the wave of electricity and water hogging data centers? Whether you believe it is the utility in terms of lower profits or budget-strapped ordinary people, the answer is clearly not the data centers. #Satire

I had hoped it wouldn’t come to this. After 3 weeks, Mischief and Mayhem have decided it’s time to climb the tree. The spray bottle is ready.

More people are providing home care for dying loved ones. A New Orleans nonprofit is showing them how. Demand for home health care, including at-home hospice care, has skyrocketed since the pandemic. A New Orleans nonprofit is training people how to provide end-of-life care for dying relatives and…

You don't have to buy anything during Black Friday sales. But if you want to, you don't have to buy from soulless megacorporations. You can buy from small independent businesses that make funny little things. For example, today's Low Quality Ad, this funny little Newspaper pin. collabs.shop/1jt9a0

Look at these facts!!!! #vaccines

Cornelius City Council meeting

I am so excited and grateful to share that this upcoming Monday I will be joining @pressley.house.gov @ayannapressley.bsky.social to discuss the state of Black women's employment! We'll be joined by other experts and affected Black women in #Boston area. Press conference to follow. #blacksky ✨

In Denmark, lawmakers are proposing a law that would make it illegal to share deepfake images. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20... In Spain, companies could face massive fines if they don’t clearly label AI-generated content. www.reuters.com/technology/a...

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

“After the rally, demonstrators will march to the Capitol with Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) for what organizers say will be ‘record-breaking’ lobbying to Congress for Trump's impeachment and removal. In June, Green also called for Trump's impeachment on the House floor.”

These are my favorite bird. Nooooooo :(

Fifty years ago, Congress passed IDEA to end the exclusion of disabled children from public schools. Today, that promise is under threat from inadequate funding and policy rollbacks. IDEA is a civil rights law. Protect it. Fund it. Celebrate it. #IDEA50

Have been thinking about “immigration has been tearing this country apart.” Surely I’m not the only person to think that it isn’t true, but inflamed rhetoric about immigration by politicians is what is tearing this country apart and so statements like that only makes it worse.

May this story bring others as much joy as it did me. Congratulations, Mr. Duncan.

Could I but ride indefinite, As doth the meadow-bee, And visit only where I liked, And no man visit me, And flirt all day with buttercups, And marry whom I may, And dwell a little everywhere, Or better, run away -- Emily Dickinson #Photography #ImageAndVerse #ClassicMono #BNWmacro #EastCoastKin
