THANK YOU to all who wished these two brothers well in our previous post! And, thank you for all the name suggestions. We're calling them...Sparkle and Twinkle! ✨✨ They still have a ways to go to recover from upper respiratory infections and pneumonia, but they're doing much better in the new year.

Without raising her voice or insulting the president, Bishop Mariann Budde preached the Gospel. So, naturally, Trump lost it.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

The before and after speaks for itself. Leo was a former community cat who had already been through more than his share. After years outdoors, he finally found safety with a devoted caregiver. But his health quickly became complicated.
