The true meaning of ‘We Are Stronger Together’. 💙

We bought a used Chevy Volt a few years ago, which has been great!

Love to see this!! I am up visiting my parents today but am with you in spirit! Fight the good fight! ❤️

Landscape framing of a bluebird going in for a landing at a wooden birdhouse on a wooden post. Post is in right of frame, birdhouse at its center, bluebird just left of center. Its wings are down at a sharp angle and his head is forward, as the bird is in mid-air and is coming in for a landing. The blue on the bird is a paint color called ELECTRIC COBALT, which is a color I just made up. I like to imagine this bird's wings are somehow sharp, like razors, and that if summoned with the correct ritual, it could fly into and slice apart our foes. And these days, we seem to have many foes, don't we? Anyway. Bluebirds are cool. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig

Let's just assume the day is going to be the kind of day where we all need one (1) bird, so here is your bird; feel free to stop here throughout your day and regard this bird

okay good

Theo’s pup tip of the day:
There are days
when nothing goes right
but still you glide through it.
keeping your balance
your patience
your sanity.
Warning:
This may not be one of those days.
Get your swear words ready.

😆 Love it 🤓 And some nouns can be both count nouns and mass nouns (like pizza!) 🍕

I think zero can be used with count nouns in the plural (zero apples) and with mass nouns in the singular (zero sugar).

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

The fatality rate for bird flu in cats is staggeringly high (up to 90% depending on the study).

Outdoor cats are at highest risk.

Keep your cats inside. Don’t feed them raw food. Keep them away from birds (especially water birds). Wash your hands thoroughly if you’ve been in contact with livestock

This is your daily reminder that measles outbreaks are not normal and it’s preventable with vaccination.

The 2025 Project for Awesome livestream will kick off at noon EST on Friday, February 14 and run through noon EST on Sunday, February 16! Check out our planned schedule of hosts, special guests, and downtime!

Our downtime hours mean our hardworking hosts, behind-the-scenes staff and volunteers, and community can get some much-needed rest. If you're awake and want to get in on some P4A action, you can watch videos about charities and vote, browse some perks, create some digital art, and catch up on the livestream VODs!

The wait is over! Check out the P4A livestream schedule here: projectforawesome.com/schedule

Because P4A is live, there may be changes right before or during the stream. #P4A2025

If at first you don’t succeed … smack, smack again 🦪

I joined because I was deleting my TikTok and Meta apps.

I’m a BlueSky newbie but I can try?

Cats!

I downloaded my data from TikTok and Meta and deleted all those accounts. The Meta ones will finish erasing on Feb 25th, according to the message I received.

Matthew 5:7 is, for some reason, resonate with me at the moment.

I thought the same thing. I remember learning this my freshman year of high school in biology class. It’s not like this info requires an advanced degree! 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s nice to see you here! I have some helpful BlueSky introductory info posts/links to help you get started. ❤️

No problem! BlueSky has a little bit of a learning curve, but it’s very customizable!

If you go to Search and look under the Recommended section, there should be one that says “Cats.” If you click the pin emoji in the top right, it will add a Cats feed tab for you to scroll.

Gorgeous! 😍 Can’t wait to see this with you one day!

We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video!

Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.

Mentally, the French way (similar to Luke, but with the fun French u sound). Verbally, Luke, so I don’t sound pretentious (presuming I’m in the States at the time).
