ohhhh that's NASTY

We’ve been on the phone with multiple agencies/orgs. They’ve been completely cut off from federal money. We’re talking housing, homeless services, public safety, etc.

I’m calling a press conference today to explain how this could have drastic local impacts to our constituents.

Senators’ phones have been ringing off the hook with nonstop calls from hospitals, police departments, volunteer firefighters, food pantries, drug treatment centers, on and on and on.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

The White House has to "check back" about whether or not they just shut off the program that funds health care for 2 million Arizonans?

I can tell you the answer: Arizona's Medicaid payment portal has been turned off.

This is absurd.

Witness said a bus driver told an ICE agent to "gargle [his] balls" when the latter requested to enter the bus.

God bless

Reports of ICE harassing even indigenous people are an extra layer of disturbing that I didn't forsee. But here's what should happen! Please share #laloalcaraz cartoons

I wonder what the rest of the world is saying about us now. Berlin newspaper.

Emotional Support Cat---her markings are stunning.

Black and white photo of a shorthaired tabby kitten appearing to burst through a sheet of white paper in a dark frame. Text at the bottom reads “sauve qui peut”.

“Sauve qui peut”. This is a French phrase that translates to something like “run for your life!” or “every man for himself!”, indicating a chaotic or dangerous situation. Postcard from my collection, no date/info.

Time to post this again

Black and white photo of a very dirty longhaired white cat standing outside an old wooden door.

Precious garbage angel. This is probably what Francie looked like when @melissainglover.bsky.social first found her! Photo from my collection, no date/info.

A lot of you make jokes about guillotines but few of you have been getting your woodworking and metalworking skills up. Get those callouses made, babes.

Literally happening as we speak

Black and white photo of a white woman standing outside of a house, holding a shorthaired ginger tabby. The woman’s face is in shadow but the cat is held in the sunlight.

The most important thing in photography is to find your light so you can make sure the cat is in it. Photo from my collection, ca. 1960s.

Agreed, morning vibes. 💤

A crow stands in front of the pink bushes in the lake gardens. Behind is a white bush and a crows beak. The black crow has coffee and white patches on its wings tucked behind it

"just checking on you" actually means a lot

If you're a creator who:

- Takes long break periods
- Creates very slowly
- Has another full time job or engagement
- Struggles with productivity
- Is inconsistent

I'm sorry to tell you...

YOU'RE STILL A VALID CREATOR BECAUSE CREATING IS TIED TO PASSION, NOT PRODUCTIVITY 💜✨️

IF ADAM PICKED THE APPLE There would be a parade, a celebration, a holiday to commemorate the day he sought enlightenment. We would not speak of temptation by the devil, rather, we would laud Adam's curiosity, his desire for adventure and knowing. We would feast on apple-inspired fare: tortes, chutneys, pancakes, pies. There would be plays and songs reenacting his courage. But it was Eve who grew bored, weary of her captivity in Eden. And a woman's desire for freedom is rarely a cause for celebration.

This is a great poem by Danielle Coffyn.
