Happy Caturday

Twisted and hollowed by time, this tree stood like a silent sentinel on my hike🌳🖤

It’s that time of year again!! Happy Easter.

Gardening update: the seedlings are really growing! (:

The bird buddy has baffled this squirrel 🐿️ for a few minutes. 😂

Yup, it’s true 😂

It’s Caturday!!

Spring is starting indoors! My first batch of seedlings—tomatoes, peppers, basil, and flowers—are sprouting under the grow lights. Excited to watch them grow! #Gardening

Spring’s first splash of color. #flowers

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

― Theodore Roosevelt

Bird buddy shot of the day. House finch in a sunlight glow.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

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?

Our kitty. Enjoying his sunspot

Important:
Most people in America do not know that Musk is shredding the government, stopping cancer cures for a generation, killing people, ending consumer protections, and enriching himself at our expense.

Our job now is to get the word out to all Americans. Because they don’t support this.

Oh, sorry to hear. Cats bring so much to their families.

Sad, but probably true.

Quote from Ben Franklin 1736

“Excuse me, human, but I require all your attention.” ☀️🐾 The cat has claimed the prime sunspot and is making sure I don’t get anything done today. Who needs productivity when you have a demanding, sun-soaked feline? 😻 #SunspotRoyalty #CatLife

Three hardest things
for a man to say:

1: I need help
2: I was wrong
3: Worcestershire Sauce

Slow Sunday vibes. A good book, a warm drink, and the kind of quiet that settles in like a deep breath. Hope your day is restful and exactly what you need. ☕📖✨ #SundayMood #CozyVibes #teddyroosevelt

When you wake up to a camera in your face like you’re the star of some reality show. Excuse me, where’s my appearance fee? #UnpaidTalent #TooCloseHooman

It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else. -Theodore Roosevelt

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country.

Can’t tell if this content sounds like a cheap soap opera or something from a banana republic. Either way it’s a sad state of affairs
