Penelope is a fan of empathy and kindness. She’s not a fan of violent, lying fascists. #Caturday

Steve Kerr on the murder of Renee Good: "It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."

"The Monroe Doctrine was a policy born of US weakness and discarded as soon as the US became a world power" should be something that all journalists know

An excellent memoir about a better type of #leadership. I recommend the audiobook, which is read by Ardern.

In happier news, yesterday I organized all the thread we use for AIDS quilt repair. I was tired of the chaos of everything being thrown into a big box and tangled up. Now everyone who works on the quilts can easily find the thread colors they need. Fingers crossed it stays organized. 😂 🩷

Penelope just heard that the fascist, convicted felon is illegally overthrowing a sovereign nation for their oil reserves, in order to enrich himself and his corrupt billionaire oil-industry backers. She’s not happy. #Caturday

Last year I was at the #RoseParade in person with my sisters. This week they helped put flowers on several of the floats.

This year was difficult, on so many levels. I really hope next year is better. Happier New Year, friends. 💛 youtu.be/FVXdbJVjCD0

This ‘Little Moonshine’ yarrow is supposed to bloom in spring/summer, but it blooms in winter in my garden. I sure enjoy the burst of color at this time of year when not much else is blooming. #FlowerReport 🌱 #Bloomscrolling

Lamenting that the tree-shaped box of toys will go away soon. #Caturday

Happy #WinterSolstice. The reason for the season.

Mainstream media sanewashing everything the convicted felon says is one of the great tragedies of 21st century American life. They are actively helping him kill our democracy and our decency.

This entire weekend

Up, up, and away. #stairwalking

There’s only one truly good billionaire: Mackenzie Scott.

On a happy note, my sister and I donated our Mom’s old but still functioning sewing machine to the AIDS Memorial Quilt org. They told us they name all their sewing machines, so we asked them to name our Mom’s machine after her! Yes, that definitely brought a tear to our eyes. 🪡 🧵 🩷 #DoGood

During WWII, some pottery companies, such as Blue Ridge, made housewares that included the Morse code for VICTORY—dot dot dot dash. It was a way to boost morale. Here’s an example made by Southern Potteries, Erwin, Tennessee. The pattern “Waltz Time” incorporates the code around the edge. #handmade

Penelope hates liars, crooks, white supremacists, and those who enable them. She loves heated blankets and her cat mom’s undivided attention. #Caturday

Hell is working with a spreadsheet that someone else created. 😱😱

I got through the weekend without buying more useless stuff that corporate America wants me to buy at prices supposedly discounted, but are the actual price you’d pay before they marked it up 100% to price gouge you in the first place. #DoNotBuyIt

A surprisingly good porter. #beer

I have a degree in International Relations and can speak some Russian. The felon should appoint *me* to negotiate on #Ukraine. Oh, right. That’s a no-go because I’m over-qualified!

My California native blue-eyed grass is blooming again. #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

This is sad. The iconic #StahlHouse, which was Case Study House 22, is for sale after 65 years. I hope whoever buys it is good to it. 📸 #LAConservancy

Penelope is the cutest. #caturday

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

It's a good thing President Obama killed Osama Bin Laden because otherwise Trump would be inviting him to the White House for some goddamn hors d'oeuvres
