Happy St Dwynwen's Day! Dydd Santes Dwynwen hapus i bawb! Today is the feast day of St Dwynwen, Wales's cherished patron saint of lovers, true hearts, and all things romantic. And let's not forget my own Welsh lovesick dragon 🐲 Wishing you warmth, connection, and a sprinkle of Welsh magic today. ✨

It's worth watching the knitting for a moment.

A beautiful, calm scene - take a moment to reset and breathe.

Spent 20 minutes donning warm layers, 30 minutes shoveling, and 10 minutes removing some of the many layers. Wanted a nap. Did dishes instead. Feel better, warmer. 5+ inches so far. 16 deg. F with a light wind. Damned snowplows covered the sidewalks and drive aprons with old ice and new snow.

I'm British and lived in mixed communities in London as an adult - I thought I had a fair understanding of race issues. After the George Floyd killing in May 2020 I listened to this episode of the Daily Tech News Show, given over to Black voices speaking of their experiences in America. I cried.

Doesn't matter what your art is, do it. Don't worry about those who don't like it - do it for yourself.

Hard to tell from the still.

Here's the extortion letter:

Witness the World - and its beauty. I like that thought, that I am (and anyone can be) a witness to the beauty and may receive what the world has to offer.

Democracy Docket: UT reviewed its voter rolls for noncitizens. It found one. Who never voted In a revelation that undercuts the GOP narrative of widespread noncitizen voting in elections, a Utah audit of over 2 million voter registrations found only one noncitizen — and they never even voted.

He did have a gun - he never pulled it. And it was gone by the time the goon shot him multiple times, point blank.

This is a much needed moment of calm.

heh heh. I never believed this was putting the US on the board - it's all about the building of a private members-only beach resort - like the thing in Florida, but way bigger.

🗣️NO ICE IN OUR STREETS! #MOworkers in Kansas City are joining the nationwide Day of Truth and Freedom, right as our siblings in Minnesota launch their historic general strike 💪

This is NOT right - it is hateful and wrong. Damn the assholes who think it's funny, fair or needed.

Cold won't stop Minnesota. Especially not now!

PM of Poland: "On December 22, 2011, in Ghazni, Afghanistan, I took part in the farewell ceremony for the five fallen Polish soldiers. The American officers who accompanied me then, told me that America would never forget the Polish heroes. Perhaps they will remind President Trump of that fact."

Ro Khanna: “J.D. Vance just doesn't know the law. There's never been absolute immunity for ICE officers — they can be prosecuted, they usually are prosecuted criminally for violations. There is qualified immunity, means if they don't clearly violate civil rights statutes, they can't face civil suit”

I love this song. I love its message. And I love Costello’s tone of defiance. This is the message and tone for our times.

A good laugh!

True. The way we shape our world, the mis-use of resources and chemicals, it adds up to a far more dangerous thing than temperature, at least in my mind.

In the last 4 hours it's dropped 7 degrees (F). From 17 just after 8am to 10 now. I am so not looking forward to the next few days.
