2 screenshots from a scene with Philomena #Cunk standing along a railroad track. Caption of first: "With its cowboys and guns and steam train rides, America became known as the land of the free." Caption of second: "...which must have come as a surprise to all the slaves."
A little classic Cunk, in honor of America's birthday.

Today’s the big day for our son Sylvan who has been working on his Lego build ‘Outbreak at Z Corp’ for the last several months and is displaying it at the Bricks Cascade Lego Expo this weekend. Of course we would end up in the post-apocalyptic theme 😀 So proud of him! With @abel-kloster.bsky.social

Recovering from dental surgery, and healing with new books from @blackbirdletterpress.com, Jim Grieshaber, and Gaby Bazin. All highly recommended, and exceedingly therapeutic.
