Melia has now been in the shelter more than 800 days. There’s someone out there who is her perfect human —it could be you!

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

Hello Virginia! Isn’t your state for lovers? Well here’s one, right here! I strongly recommend you make haste and bring a new loving friend home with you!

I forgot that Rey’s lightsaber style is nearly identical to Palpatine’s. Foreshadowing.

If anyone is interested, the Broward County Public Library has just added eight or ten Diana Wynne Jones ebooks, available via Libby app. If you’re unfamiliar with the name, she’s the author of Howl’s Moving Castle, made into the incredible animated film by Miyazaki.

Boonie is not terribly impressed by Sandy Claws.

Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally. Just like it’s still the department of defense

“I'm Nobody! Who are you? / Are you — Nobody — Too?” Inimitable American poet Emily Dickinson was born 195 years ago, on December 10, 1830. Of her inimitable craft, Poet Laureate Joy Harjo wrote, “From Emily I learned that the immense silences I found within me were navigable by words and metaphor.”

CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami. She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

I guess it’s toadstool Tuesday here! A little drizzle has brought out a fairy ring and these big orange guys that look like they could be red bolete. They are growing near oak trees.

Wow!!!

Kilauea is putting out a giant rain bird sprinkler fountain of lava! Crazy!
