Good morning, my friend! As promised, here are a few more photos from Thursday’s “Lanterns & Luminaries” event honoring #KeithLockhart at the #OldNorthChurch. A grand #Boston style kickoff to America’s #250th. #PaulRevere himself led the processional! (Clic on pics to enlarge and read descriptions).

LOL.

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central Cartoon Network And more... This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

Good morning, my friend! An old friend in #NYC needed a friend yesterday. We drove down, gave comfort, and drove home in a day! Not a sightseeing trip, but I snapped a few photos of her neighborhood in bloom as we walked her block. NYC showing off its #spring finery! #spiritlifters! (PS: she’s ok)🌷❤️

I have finished my needlepoint pillow. Bought the kit(Beth Russell Designers Forum)in London in the 90s. It was put aside. Found it 2yrs ago, finished it, uncertain if it would be a pillow or seat cover. Box construction, made the bias cord. Forgot how much I love needlepoint

"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"

My cakes recently! I will either open up my own lab or bakery, maybe both.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

He kept his word.

Look at that smile at the end. Dolly Parton is like a whole new dog ❤️

Hey remember this post? Wtf happened...

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

Lying from the White House Podium is now a family tradition.

I'm am a Poll Judge and I can attest to the fact that there is NO FRAUD!!!! Don't let them push this nonsense!!!! Cartoon by @andertoon.bsky.social #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

Trump officials are unpleasant assholes. Period. Doesn’t matter who they’re meeting with.

The Pope’s response to being threatened by the Pentagon? - Cancelled his July 4th US visit. - Spending our 250th birthday on an island where African migrants wash ashore. - Told Catholics to call their reps and demand an end to the Iran war. The first American pope. He will NOT be bullied by Trump!

I’m Team Pope Leo. And you don’t have to be a practicing Catholic to think — what the hell is wrong with the Pentagon’s mouthpiece? This is repugnant.

Good morning, my friend! Happy #FriYay! At last, enough signs of #spring that I can start inviting you again into #mygarden for our traditional #Friday #respite. Take a deep breath and release all that you’ve held inside. It’s ok, we’re looking forward. #Together #SpringFever 🌼🌱 #DidYouMissMeMulch

Happy Birthday to me! 74 years young

Good morning, my friend! Sharing another favorite #Worcester #mural with you as #WomensHistoryMonth comes to a close. Painted in 2016 by L.A. #artist #ChristinaAngelina (aka #StarFighterA) who specializes in large works celebrating all women. #streetart #publicart #artforall #InspiringWomen

Long ago, exactly 1 cat passed away from being fed 2 minutes late & cats have told their children of this for thousands of generations.

Boyle: The situation is bad. It’s getting worse. And we have a president who, frankly, only cares about putting his signature on currency, illegally etching it onto the Kennedy Center, and building his big, beautiful ballroom—and frankly couldn’t give a shit about the American people.

The law applies a 9.9% income tax on income over $1 million.

Tuesday

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and also the best guarantee we can hold free and fair elections this November. Today, it was shining brightly. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

My first loaf of bread from scratch.

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation. Complete abdication of duty.

@jlcauvin.bsky.social This gotta be you. bsky.app/profile/atru...

It's 25th Amendment time for the demented man in the White House. .

Perhaps if we all sing along we can make it happen. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS SONG. youtu.be/bg4tfXC2qr4?...

Dame Judi Dench! 🤣☠️

Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.

Good morning, my friend! Yesterday was chilly, but once the morning snow melted I just needed to be outdoors. You ever get that antsy? Went to a peaceful trail that’s usually dry (but not after this winter)!Muddied up my #hiking shoes. #GoodTime! #NatureWalk #MindfulWalking #GetOutside #FreshAir

The Economist nailed it. #TrumpIsAnIdiot #TrumpEpsteinFiles #TrumpDistractions

This is why you always follow the money...

I also find it unsettling when the term "president" precedes his name.

🤣 Mission Impossible music, playing in my head 🤣🙃🤭
