Sherri with an i

Fluffy, white Great Pyrenees dog is sprawled on hardwood floor, smiling at the camera.

This morning Luna is super proud of progress made while pursuing friendship with the neighbor dog…by ferociously borking her head off at him the entire time he was within view. That might not inspire him to socialize with you, bb, but I’m glad you have a smile on your face.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Green t-shirt with graphic in front center; image is brown, showing a Smokey-like bear head in ranger hat and aviator sunglasses. Ranger hat says “RESIST” across the front.

@altnps.bsky.social any idea if the Resist Bear shirts will be restocked?

He nails it.

I haven’t used my Twitter account since it became acquired by the dark side, and deactivating/deleting X just now felt so right.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

(2/2) Lo and behold, adorable little dumpster fires sold in bulk for distribution are apparently a thing these days. And yes, my dear, you absolutely may hand them out to your class of 24 suburban kids. We are in a purple area and I’m so curious about whether we’ll get any calls about this. #itsfine

(1/2) My 4th grader and I were brainstorming classroom Valentine ideas, and she said, “do you think there is such thing as a dumpster fire Valentine? Because this is definitely the year for it.”

Feeling stressed? It’s okay to take a break. Cuddle your pets, go outside, talk to your loved ones. This is a marathon, not a sprint. We need you healthy for the fight.

Read this entire thread for great insights. As sociologist Jennifer Walter said in her Threads post, “Remember: They want you scattered. Your focus is resistance.”

Scarlet Paint Brush as far as the eye can see.

Somebody somewhere
Needs flowers today

Either way, I’m very pleased. We must find joy in the little things, especially these days. I’m going to #knit with these stitch markers today, and intentionally enjoy them. What tiny things bring you joy?

A set of gold-tone metal and enamel charms with a fall woodland theme are attached to a green card, with gold-toned knitting safety pins spread across the top. The charms are an ornate yellow enameled heart, a fox face on a white enamel square, a mushroom with spotted red cap, and three leaves (orange, green, gold).

I browsed a craft store recently, and found these charms at a steep discount. Combine with these vintage #knitting safety pins I had on hand, and viola! A $2 set of stitch markers! I might go back and get some lever-back earrings to attach to the charms, if these safety pins don’t work out. 🧶

Heads up: I made a thing

Black and white photo with captain America - Steve Rogers - on the left and Mr Fred Rogers on the right Caption reads: The 2 Rogers rule of humanity - if Steve or Fred wouldn't do it, neither should I.

Always follow the 2 Rogers Rule.

Thank you so much for doing this!

Does your Monday need a boop and some baby seal eyes?

Yes! I have to believe he was solely responsible for this, and I celebrate it (especially if it was improvised)!

A photo of a lobster on what appears to be a snow-covered ground, wearing striped, hand-knitted mittens and a matching sweater. The combined caption is “Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens / make your lobster a sweater with mittens.” I added, “As someone who often copes with stressful situations with humor, I demand more of this kind of content from the internet.”

‘Contempt is a dangerous way to lead a country’: here is the sermon that enraged Donald Trump | Mariann Edgar Budde This week, the Bishop of Washington delivered a sermon in front of President Trump urging him to show mercy towards LGBTQ+ and migrant communities. The president condemned it as ‘nasty’. We reproduce ...

Here’s the link to Bishop Budde’s sermon. Her brave, love-filled message made little orange man vewy angee:

If you feel so moved, Bishop Budde’s full sermon is worth reading. I wish the Episcopal flavor of Christianity was the norm, rather than the proselytizing, conservative bigotry that makes you check your brain at the door, spreads hate, and weaponizes Christianity. They give the rest of us a bad rep.

Watching Kaos, and delightedly shocked to hear Zeus (Jeff Goldblum) refer to Hades as a jagoff. I feel this is a worthy first post.
