Thank you for adding me to your list! Have a great Sunday.

11 people are known to have been wounded in Kherson as a result of russia’s massive overnight rocket artillery bombardment. 2 more women were injured during morning attack on the city, the Regional Military Administration reported.

Residential buildings, shops, cafés, and a church were damaged.

The Car Industry Is Racing to Replace Chinese Code New U.S. rules are set to ban Chinese software in vehicles on national-security grounds.

The real risk isn’t Chinese software, it’s a compromised software supply chain, in-vehicle architectures that can’t handle such software, and infrastructure that’s not secure. Simply banning one perceived source of risk is not going to do much to eliminate the overall risk.

politics 🤭🤣😂👋🏼♥️♥️♥️🐶

I was never involved in politics & thought things would work themselves out. Then, I started seeing others trying to take our Rights away. I was taught to appreciate the freedom earned by people who came before me and good people now who want better lives. This isn't better.

On this day in 1960, Penguin Books was found not guilty of obscenity for publishing Lady Chatterley’s Lover. The novel, by D. H. Lawrence was titillating for its time, leading to the British government prosecuting the publisher.

I’m not a Texan, but it’s hard to ignore what’s happening in the Democratic Senate primary in the state. We’re all clocking it, right?

Let’s start with what should be obvious: whoever wins the Democratic nomination, we Dems should support him or her.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

With the upcoming No Kings protest this month, I thought today would be a great day to re-up the Blue Kansans starter pack. It's grown quite a bit since I first started it last November. 😁

Picked up essential oils for Imbolc tomorrow. Got mine at Third Eye Sadie's in Lawrence. Also stopped by to support The Raven and made a purchase at The Dusty Bookshelf.

The artwork is part of his "In the Night" collection.

This is the lovely garden Iris ‘Queen’s Circle’ growing in my garden here on the farm. Isn’t she stunning! I’m hoping she’s still out there, rodents have eaten several of my irises and I don’t know yet which ones are missing.

Greetings all. Just a reminder that we’ll be here at the top of the hour for our weekly one hour live #herbChat Today we’ll be talking about Iris, yes, she’s a herb!!

I've played this many times today!

Watercolour from a few decades ago, with a mixture of garden flowers plus some decorative gourds. I don't remember who bought this one but it was quite large, probably on an imperial sheet of watercolour paper.

One of my larger flower watercolours, done without body colour and featuring my most painted green glass jug (which is very old and leaking slightly from the handle. I'll get it to make a guest appearance in a new painting this year.

Perhaps the most politically important thing about Zohran Mamdani is that it seems like he really, really likes New York and New Yorkers.

Me too

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.
