Magnificence in motion... 🦅💕

His name was Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He was fifty-two years old. He was a husband. He was a father of three sons. On July 7, he left for work. He never came home... In a free country, no innocent family should ever have to wonder whether their loved one will become the next name we say aloud...💔

I am forgiven. Shadow's bed towel is warm & fresh out of the dryer - put it on my bed & he immediately took to it & started to purr. When he gets up I'll remake his bed on the coffee table & all will be well in little puss's world until next laundry day ☺️ Sigh. 💕 Patience & Love prevails. #Caturday

When Shadow first came home, he claimed a corner on the coffee table as his. I put a folded heavy towel & fleece cover there & he was happy. Today was laundry day & his bed gets washed with everything else. He is not happy. He's pouting under the bed. He's such a drama queen. #Caturday

Hear! Hear!

This is a fun and enjoyable free feature from the Cornell Ornithology people. Learn about the insides of birds. They also have one all about feathers. Great for all ages. Check it out. 🐦🐦‍⬛🪶

This is fun - @milestaylor.bsky.social and friends conducted a live fact check on #PedoPOTUS last night - the buzzer was going on and on and on and on... this is brilliant. Thanks to everyone on this event... 💕

Here's why you don't drink the water in Mexico. I visited Mexico with a friend in July 1986. Drove to the airport through Phila. and witnessed their "Great Garbage Strike." Our week in Taxco was great. I avoided water until our last night. The margarita had crushed ice. The next 4 months were awful.

I like to keep a few of these on hand for days when I don't feel much like cooking. This one is so delicious over organic brown rice. I also like to add a couple TBS. of diced mild Kimchi and a handful of dry roasted peanuts. If you have sodium issues, this might be a bit high for you. #vegan

Courageous individuals this week showed tenacity & devotion to the rule of law in confronting acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, an unapologetic presidential flunky nominated for AG who lacks rudimentary legal ethics & has consistently subverted justice to meet the whims of his boss. #NOBlanche

Looking out at a mostly cloudy sky - while the lake is still shrouded in a smoky fog. Shadow is looking for burbs and I wonder how all this foul air is affecting them - Many are nesting now and some early nesters are beginning to fledge. So yes, I worry...

Well, isn't that special... 🛰️

Deciding if I want to take the house van to the grocery store this morning or do free delivery from Walmart+ a little later. One of our biggest racists here'll be on that van & I'm not in the mood so I'm choosing Walmart today. I know I am supporting a B$ corporation but some days, needs must. 🤔

This map is from the Weather Channel. If I want deeper information I have to pay for it (FU Weather Channel). It's nasty from the Great Lakes through the Northeast - we are tucked in the NE corner of PA. Today it may make it down into North Carolina. The many fires in Canada continue...

Todd Blanche meeting with Epstein survivors is BS theater because he won't do anything after that. Blanche should be forced to prosecute the men who raped the children and trafficked the women. Instead he protects the rapists! The survivors deserve JUSTICE!!

Quotes from John Lewis: "Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America." "The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy." 💕

What Shadow and I are listening to this Friday morning. "On Rainbow Way" - from David Lanz' album Movements of the Heart. Enjoy... 💕

The smoke is so bad this afternoon we can't see the lake. Every Thursday in the summer, the ice cream truck stops by after lunch. They cancelled last week coz of heat, today coz of visibility. We're jonesing here - LOL. Going to make this salad for dinner: #vegan www.skinnytaste.com/chickpea-sal...

Cyclospora isn’t just another summer stomach bug. It’s a reminder that foodborne outbreaks require strong public health surveillance, rapid communication, and informed consumers. Here are practical steps you can take to protect yourself and your family

This is a must watch. @wajali.bsky.social & @milestaylor.bsky.social discuss what #PedoPOTUS will talk about tonight & how he's going to stop the elections in November & beyond. Pay Attention to every word. He is not leaving peacefully. This is it folks - our last chance to save our Democracy.

This is big. The first vaccine tested to PREVENT pancreatic cancer in high-risk individuals aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscov...

People just don't think about these things. We have experienced wonderful socialism all our lives here in America.

Liz Oyer’s opening before the Blanche confirmation hearing is worth listening to. If you’re so inclined, write to your Senator TODAY, and ask that they deliver a NO vote to confirm Todd Blanche as AG. You’ll find a link on my profile to contact your senator for your convenience.

Piss-Drunk Pete's a crackpot, just like everyone else in the Donnyverse. obsessing about testosterone is the kind of dipshittery you get your brain pickled by if you spend too much time hanging out on Elon’s Nazi Bar. no normal person goes around talking about ‘high-T.’ ~J Tiedrich bit.ly/3RCmLxS

Please explain to me how the same senators who voted for the Epstein Transparency Acf would now vote to confirm the man who’s leading the continuing coverup of the Epstein files.

When institutions fall short, people still deserve the facts. Here’s what every family should know about Cyclospora—and how to stay safe.

It's brownish orange outside from the wildfire smoke from Minnesota and Canada. People here at Shady Pines by the Lake who have asthma are having a rough time of it. A Code Red Air Quality Alert is in effect through Thursday night. [image via "The Valley" page on Facebook]

THIS RIGHT HERE is the big red flag - the only red flag you need to prove Todd Blanche's lips are firmly & forever planted on Trump's ass & he can NEVER be the AG for the USA. NEVER! He will not uphold the Constitution. He will only do the will of the #PedoPOTUS . 🚩(via Joyce White Vance)

Why, why, why, does this idiotic regime want to attack Cuba??? What the fuck is wrong with them? I know, rhetorical question - it's Kegsbreath, Tiny Marco & the ultimate war mongering GOP pushing #PedoPOTUS into it because PP loves things that go boom & will do exactly what they ask. #WarCrimes 💥

One way to stop a genocide is to stop funding it. American politicians start to acquire a moral back bone. We aren’t there yet but AIPAC’s death grip on the US Congress is loosening. “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice” ~ Mark Ruffalo

I have felt the same from day one. Their hate is all that matters.

Todd Blanche is as evil as Jeffrey Epstein because Blanche has the power to prosecute the powerful men who raped children and trafficked women but instead he is engaged in a massive cover up to protect the rapists.

Who wants cyclosporiasis, (exploding diarrhea)? Apparently our government doesn't care if we all get it. So here are some guidelines for us from people who actually care.

In 1908, Roosevelt used the Antiquities Act to protect the Grand Canyon. Yesterday #PedoPotus signed two proclamations, shrinking Bears Ears National Monument by 91% & Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument by about 90%. This remove 3 million acres from monument protection. Palpable hate. 😭

The more the hatred, the more essential the truth.

My beloved #Oreck, after 36 yrs of reliable, faithful service (and tons of cat hair), can no longer be repaired (at least not for less than any new machine). It's my own little Frankenstein monster, held together with Gorilla, packing, & duct tape & a few new pieces here & there. Sigh. 😢

My BlueSky friends. For your convenience links to contact your congressional leaders are in my profile. Or, if you prefer, write a script to leave as a message by phone or to read to the staffer who answers. (switchboard number included). TODAY: Contact your senators and ask them to nix Blanche.

A lovely breeze just drifted through the open window and softly caressed my face. Holding on to the wonderful little things in life today. 💕

Blanche used to be Trump’s personal defense lawyer & has said he believes he has a “continuing duty of loyalty” to Trump. #PedoPOTUS has nominated Blanche to become attorney general. His confirmation hearings begin on Wednesday. Congress - please do not confirm him!!! Call your congressmembers!!!

José Olivares of The Guardian noted that Salgado Araujo was the 10th person shot & killed by federal immigration officers from either ICE or Border Patrol this year. 21 more people have died in ICE detention this year.~ @hcrichardson.bsky.social No one is disposable. Everyone matters. #AbolishICE

www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ju... A great actor and just a lovely guy. RIP, Sam Neill.

I felt better after a good night's sleep yet waking up, seeing the news, the rage is back. This country under #PedoPOTUS is in serious trouble. #DiaperDon plans on an address day after tomorrow (Thurs, 7/16). Please stay aware & beware. Friends, they are going all out to end elections. #Impeach

It's not radical to believe everybody in the richest country in the world should have healthcare. It's not radical to believe we shouldn't send our money abroad to bomb people when we need money for our schools here. It's not radical to believe corporations shouldn't be able to buy politicians.

This should make ALL of us lose our minds. Damn ICE. #AbolishICE #ICECriminals #ICEMurdersPeople

Oh no. Unlike *some* people who died this weekend, this man brought joy www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

I'm thinking of putting this sign on my door. I wonder if I'll get a demerit for that. Racism doesn't make you tough. It just makes you a racist.

The President may think historic legislation isn't worth his time or attention, but despite his inaction the ROAD to Housing package is now law. Everyone should have a safe, affordable place to call home.

#FreePalestine #NetantahuWarCrimes #StopFundingIsrael Israelis have health care as a universal basic right. We supposedly “can’t afford” health care for our own people. Why are we sending them money? -
