A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. A man shivers in bed while a smiling lady in a red mask shows off her bandage on her arm. Text: Noses are red Ice packs are blue I'm vaxed so miss me with severe symptoms of flu.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Two lady scientists shrug lackadaisically. Text reads: My love for you can't be explained by science. Just like the new federal vaccine guidelines.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Protesters in Minneapolis wear thick clothes and hold signs of support for immigrant neighbors. Text reads: To the health departments in the Twin Cities: Love unites us. Our hearts are with you.

Oh my GOD King County Public Health is just wilding out for Valentines Day (and a lovely one).

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

"There's nothing special about any of us. We are just people who said 'Hey, I think somebody needs something, I wonder if I can get it to them.' And then we ask 'What do you need? Can I give it to you?' and then we give it to them. I think a lot of people think they need permission to do that, or you need to be a trained organizer, and honestly it is the easiest thing in the world to just say 'Hey, do you need anything?'"

I want to leave you with this, from @mostlybree.kitrocha.com:

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

This statement is worth 5000 prayers and sermons combined.

Thank you, Chaplain Moberg. ❤️‍🔥

The final two first edition hardbacks of my novel 1983 that I have in my house.

Two cut-out linoprint hares by my mum, Jo. This is a hare linoprint which she originally did to illustrate a chapter in my earlier (non-fiction) book, Ring The Hill, which has a hare subtheme darting through it.

I thought it might be nice to give away my last 2 signed hardbacks of my novel 1983, with two lovely linocut hares by my mum.

All you have to do to enter is repost this (& leave a reply).

The book's been called "Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut and Sue Townsend”.

reminder if you are still in clean-up mode today, don’t overwork your garbage disposals.

today the busiest day of the year for plumbers. fats, starches, and bones do not belong in a disposal or drain.

reduce food waste, compost where you can, and don’t treat your drains like a trash can.

It’s their day 🥺

Photo of a glowing jack o’lantern sitting in a dark room. It is illuminated from within so you can see that a cat wearing a surgical recovery collar also known as Elizabethan collar has been carved on the surface.

Here are some of the scary jack o'lanterns I've made for our cats over the years. First: the cone.

I did not visit horses, I simply accommodated some ladies who wanted to see them. Point being I am a temporarily embarrassed millionaire and my kids did need me to be better. Help?

IF YOU SEE A BAT CRAWLING AROUND ON THE GROUND DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, LEAVE IT ALONE. IF YOU WANT TO HELP IT CALL ANIMAL CONTROL. DO NOT APPROACH THE BAT, DO NOT TRY TO AID THE BAT ON YOUR OWN, AND FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY DO NOT BREASTFEED THE BAT. TELL YOUR FRIENDS.

go get something from the shelters wishlist or donate.

these tits just contaminated the ENTIRE facility.

On a lighter note, had an "es un elote" moment the other day. Camping with wife in an area with lots of local garbage, she saw a sobriety chip in a pile of beer cans. On further inspection, it was a lotto scratch token

Every trans person who comes out makes the world better.

Full stop.

Title: Gender Census 2025. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Illustration: Two boxes, each with photos of relevant dictionary pages.

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
