And John Hammond too, I hear

It’s in the mid-60s F, 18 or 19°C. First day there’s no snow in the garden. I took a walk in town and saw just a few dirty snow piles where once it was probably piled as tall as I am or higher.

This feels unbelievable like I’m going to wake up in a few minutes and realize the snow’s still here

A newspaper headline from over a century ago, reading: WOMEN ANARCHISTS HAVE BECOME THE TERROR OF WORLDS POLICE Their Daring Crimes Are Said to Have Out- stripped the Deeds of Brothers of the Red Search for the Woman is Becoming a Safe Rule in Crimes Proceeding From Anarchistic Violence—The Guardians of the World Nearly Always Finda Woman Implicated When a Ruler is Stricken Down—Emotional Women Lose Sense of Fear.

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

That's awesome. I see fewer and fewer of them near town. There used to be an old sow near the park who had 2 young every year but her den got filled in when they added to the cemetery. Out in the countryside they're still common enough to be complained about

A tabby cat with patches or orange, tan and black, mostly striped, but with a white chin and bib, white paws and a white stripe down her nose. She is reclining casually yet somehow royally, on a light grey carpeted step, leaning her shoulder against some chipped dark cherry- brown woodwork and looking alertly at the camera. Her fur looks very soft

Cutie stopping on the steps for a moment. If you think Bridget’s fur looks fluffy and soft you're right. Happy #Caturday!

She’s lovely.🥰

There's a real problem now of people projecting the idea of a human-like consciousness where it isn't. And I don't just mean onto people in the White House

Exactly. Going for walks and appreciating plants and wildlife is my main thing. I see a lot of that disappearing but that just makes what remains more precious.

amen

amen!

I feel like Scaramucci’s right though and even if it all came out it wouldn’t make a difference. I hate that about my country but I think it’s true

Thanks!

I'm afraid to ask

@mrsoup.bsky.social Wasn't sure whether you saw this thread or if it might be of interest.

I am shocked, shocked! that some of these guys end up involuntarily celibate

Which would I prefer, someone to boss me around all my life or a job and a small apartment and as many books, cats, and snacks as I want? 🤔

In the words often quoted as being from Gloria Steinem but probably first said by someone else, "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle."

Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands Global survey shows young men and boys hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations

Literally, why would a women marry if her husband I can tell her what to do or expect her to be a role instead of a person? Why wouldn't a woman just stay single and be her own boss? Is a man like that worth having in any way? I don't get this.

So lovely! 💚

Toad is buried under the covers in bed. From "Spring" In *Frog and Toad Are Friends*

Toad went back into the house. He got into bed and pulled the covers over his head again.

4 panels of a Peanuts comic. It is pouring rain in all 3 of them. Lucy comes out of the house. Lucy walks through the rain. She walks up to Linus. In the last panel they’re both standing in the pouring rain and she says, “So how’s the eclipse?”

Me tomorrow:

A phalaenopsis flower, bright yellow with many tiny red dots and a pinkish red lip. A couple bits of colored light from a round prism are caught on it.

@orchidfever.bsky.social Phalaenopsis Red Jujube ‘Cosmic Sunset’, first bloom this year. I don’t usually do well with phals and I repotted this so I was worried but the spike has over 20 buds. I guess it’s ok. I’ve had it for 3 years. #orchids #phalaenopsis I’ll post again when more buds are open

Just want you to know that I admire you. I see a life being lived with effort and meaning. 🌟 💙

A cute cat, tabby with orange, tan and black stripes and whisker beds like toasted marshmallow, plus white chin and bib and a white stripe down her nose. It’s just the front of her and she’s leaning her head back to look up at the camera with big golden eyes. She’s in a bed just below a windowsill on which there is a black plastic pot with a primrose plant that has several bright pink blooms with yellow centers. A prism just at the window is casting lots of little rainbows on the windowsill and sunlight is shining in. A sweet moment.

Pretty things: Bridget, primroses and little rainbows in the sunshine

Twice I've read "Iran's" as "Trans"

talk of trans military options and trans regimes really rings different

A lotus-like flower, white with many petals, in soft light against a blurry background of soil and a few leaves

A flower for peace and in memory of loved ones, ours and others

Happy Saint David’s Day!

Yeah, just read that article about climate change getting plants out of sync with their pollinators. It was already observable here a few recent years but that really underlined it.

I heard the sounds of red-winged blackbirds singing and it’s warm and sunny for a change. Feels like spring!
