the top half of our fridge, which does have french doors, and the cabinet above the fridge. The right door of the cabinet is open, and Ginny is inside of it. it's always left open because she likes to be up there. Her front paws are braced on the half of the fridge that is not open and I had to reach in and around to the side to fetch the butter.
whenever possible, choose a fridge with french doors so as not to disturb the catgoyle

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

It causes credit problems, social security headaches, a ton of paperwork, it disenfranchises me? No, honey, I'm keeping my name. If you don't like it, we ain't getting married.
I've been thinking quite a lot about the necessary preconditions for disabled and chronically ill Americans to be able to rely on a guarantee of healthcare.
With every new public health low (e.g. PH leaders praising Oz as he murders disabled Americans), it seems increasingly difficult
-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence
These are the foundations of real freedom.

16.02.2026 19:38 โ ๐ 833 ๐ 50 ๐ฌ 8 ๐ 4TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has four panels, each showing a different scene. In addition, thereโs a small โkickerโ panel under the fourth panel. PANEL 1 The panel shows a counter at a fast food restaurant. We can see a couple of customers, and a couple of workers. The workers are wearing hats that very vaguely resemble hamburger buns. A sign on the wall shows a smiling hamburger with eyes, below the caption โSoilent Green YUM.โ A smaller sign says โSAFETYโ in larger letters followed by tiny print, which says โis a word we use a lot so you canโt sue us.โ The worker at the cash register is turning to speak directly to the reader. WORKER: To get an official photo I.D., I have to go to the nearest government office, which is 90 miles away, and I donโt have a car, and even if I did my boss wonโt give me a weekday off. PANEL 2 Weโre in what looks like someoneโs back yard. In the foreground is a garden, with some sort of plant being grown in tidy rows. An elderly woman is kneeling on the ground in front of the garden, wearing a floppy straw hat, an apron with a floral patter, and holding a trowel. She speaks directly to the reader. WOMAN: I canโt get I.D. without a birth certificate. But when I was born home births didnโt get birth certificates. PANEL 3 A mover wearing jeans and a black tank top is carrying a sofa as heโs talking to the reader. MOVER: The state charges $60 for a driverโs licenseโฆ. but first Iโd need a copy of my birth certificate, which is $30. I canโt afford 90 dollars to vote! PANEL 4 This panel shows the interior of a coffee shop. A man and a woman sit together at a table. They're both looking at their devices, him annoyed, her dismissive. MAN: Why wouldnโt anyone be able to get an I.D.? Idiots! WOMAN: People like that donโt deserve to vote. SMALL KICKER PANEL UNDER THE BOTTOM OF THE CARTOON The man from panel 4 yelling at Barry MAN: If itโs easy for me it must be easy for everybody! Thatโs just science!
