@theabingdontaxi.bsky.social @margueritek.bsky.social If you would, please pray for Greg and his family. Yesterday, during a dialysis treatment, his dad died (age 65). Greg's such a kind person and he's stunned. He has yet to let himself cry because of the kids + getting all the funeral stuff ready.

Safer Internet Day is really about small habits Don’t click dodgy links Delete emails that feel off Watch for weird grammar Be wary of surveys Don’t engage with trolls, block them Use antivirus software and keep devices updated Simple stuff, worth remembering #SaferInternetDay

Michael wished to ride with me to Birmingham today. This was not permitted.

It's not the Spoons in Abingdon @theabingdontaxi.bsky.social, but there's snow outside and the fire is warm.

AMBER Alert issued out of Indiana for 2-year-old

Not to be downer on this 2,893rd day of winter, but here's this:

@theyorkest.bsky.social @theabingdontaxi.bsky.social There’s a man in the supermarket wearing a kilt. Second time I've seen him here. Last time he was sporting Stewart plaid, today it's Brodie Modern (I think).

ICYMI @theyorkest.bsky.social Love these kind of photos, because they're reminders of things I've stared at either growing up or as an adult. This chair reminds me of our family doctor's waiting room.

A PROTEST SONG! Folks, do what you can. Sing your protest. Speak your protest. Join neighbors in protest. Blow whistles in protest. Record evidence in protest. Offer late nite insight & solidarity in protest (🙃) Do what you can. It all matters.

I grew up in a time where protest songs spoke for so many. They still do, after all these years. Interesting that we don't have many new ones, but here's a classic and it's still current: youtu.be/bjSpO2B6G4s?...

Louisville KY peeps. Check out Educational Justice’s website for information re tutoring/mentoring program for students in 5th-8th across Jefferson County. educationaljustice.org/students-sch...

does anyone have any editing, proofreading, or logo design projects they need someone for? please contact me. thanks!

If he thinks he got the Peace Prize but we all know he didn’t, can we just give him a scale model of Greenland with some sort of PowerPoint certificate?

Gotta wonder why the feds would go to Minneapolis (or anywhere in Minnesota) in JANUARY to conduct raids.

Illinois residents will have an additional 16 days to enroll through the state’s official marketplace for health insurance that begins Feb. 1. Jenna Schweikert has more ➡️ https://loom.ly/5Ffd_Fs

@theyorkest.bsky.social Hey there, Mark. Welcome to Bluesky, glad to see you here!

Never change Philly, never change:

This. Read a book this year. Write a letter to a friend, a neighbor, a relative or two. Doesn't have to be long - just remembering a shared experience or two. Remind them of their importance in your life.

You would enjoy the laundromat today, @margueritek.bsky.social. Attendant has country music blaring from speakers. We've had an impromptu singalong to Randy Travis, Reba, and Rascal Flatts. We don't even have to fake the accents in these parts. 😀 youtu.be/7qH4qyi1-Ys?...

Didn't know this instrument existed, did you @theabingdontaxi.bsky.social @margueritek.bsky.social ? youtu.be/HIP6hXKfiYQ?...

Proof Pope Leo XIV is from the US: "Sometimes it's peanut butter and jelly, sometimes it's regular food. If they don't have time to cook because he got in late, he might have a peanut butter sandwich, a bowl of cereal, that kind of thing."'He's not ours anymore' NCR share.google/VccCxz5f6rwk...

@thebossross.bsky.social To outsiders, this may not look like much, but it is. VP made several visits here, trying to woo legislators. Gov and Lt. Gov backed it. In the end, sanity prevailed. Senate Republicans reject Trump’s plea for gerrymandered maps indianacapitalchronicle.com/2025/12/11/s...

Sea urchin dreams #artAdventCalendar #funny

Have you ever seen this depiction of Mary, @theabingdontaxi.bsky.social @margueritek.bsky.social ? Wonder who the artist is.

String quilt work in progress #ArtAdventCalendar

Maybe it's my working class roots showing, but no piece of art is worth that much. Nor are the comic books going for millions of dollars.

Happy *finding hair bands and chapsticks and tissues in coat pockets you forgot about* season to all who celebrate

Gotta admit, didn't have MTG's resignation from Congress on my bingo card for this or next year.

‘Denim’ gets its name from the French words ‘de Nĭmes’ meaning "of Nĭmes," because it was manufactured in the city of Nĭmes. ‘Jeans’ comes from the city of Genoa (earlier known as Genes) because the pants were worn by the Genoese navy. 'JNCO' means “Judge None Choose One."

Over on Twitter (X) under Trending this showed up this morning, Wednesday, November 12. Guessing it's EM's ai run amok because IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET. So today's PDA is: Be careful what you believe on any social media platform. Be discerning. Question. Teach others.

When I was in elementary school, they taught us how to make paper snowflakes. While very pretty, I never saw real snowflakes that looked like our creations, until today. They were so BIG, floating by the balcony - I was mesmerized for those few minutes. The wonder of winter.

@theabingdontaxi.bsky.social This is my nephew, #3 breaking through the banner Friday night prior to state championship playoffs (they won). Team's smallest guy, but a steady holder for the Pirates. They were 10-0 in regular season. BTW, he walked for the first time at my place. Look at him now.

As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, there were 11 confirmed deaths from the Louisville plane crash. First responders have shifted from a rescue to a recovery mode.

@thebossross.bsky.social When you get a chance, this is worth watching. Abigail Spanberger, Governor-Elect of Virginia, thanking her family. What a comparison to the current admin in D.C. youtu.be/BPRuTHuN3Ko?...

View from my front door a bit earlier.The stench is horrible. Staying put with windows shut. So tragic. Prayers for the UPS employees, those on board and our Louisville area.

PSA: Don't place all your confidence in search engines when it comes to finding an interesting read. Looking for women's autobiographies led to dozens of titles by men. Apparently search engines can't understand what "AUTObiography" means.

Martha Layne Collins, Kentucky’s only woman governor, dies at 88. She landed a Toyota plant that has become a mainstay of the state's economy. kentuckylantern.com/2025/11/01/m...

Some older ways are just better.
