Ok, you gotta zoom in and look at these birds!

I seriously think the Social Internet is 21st century cigarettes. Complete with secondary smoke causing a lot of harm in nonusers.

Annie Andrews Is Running to Defeat Lindsey Graham—and Everyone Is Paying Attention “Glamour” chatted with the mom of three and pediatrician about her viral campaign-launch video and how she’s preparing for 2026.

“Everyone is Paying Attention”

Honestly, the middle child in me is so happy right now. But more importantly, help me send Lindsey home.

Dozens of work boots spread across a gym floor, returned by demobilized AmeriCorps NCCC members.

Big emotions today and yesterday in Vicksburg MS during the final demobilization of the AmeriCorps NCCC members. A lot of people don't know anything about this program. But the people here have done so much good for Americans, and would've done more if they hadn't been so cruelly forced home.

Hi! We’ve played Carcassonne a ton! We have some expansion packs as well.
I’ve also been there during a road trip from Bordeaux to Barcelona—incredible!

My son and I are in NY helping my sis plan her October wedding. Last night we ordered Thai food and mapped out her entire wedding day on a big trifold (lots of colored sharpies were used!). It feels so nice being with family!
Happy Sunday to you!

Good luck 🤩

I, too, sing America. I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong. Lomorrow, I'll sit at the table When company comes. Nobody'll dare Say to me, "Eat in the kitchen," Then. Besides, They'll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed,— I, too, am America.

Verb Your Enthusiasm     I recall the first time it circumstanced,   this problem that routines with my words – I was in the kitchen, plating my food,   when my nouns conversioned to verbs.      Friending others with similar troubles, we workshopped hard at it for days,  as we dialogued in search of solutions,    and flipcharted the hours away.     I can’t stop myself languaging weirdly.  Are they called nerbs or vouns? I’m not sure.   The doctors cannot antidote me,  while to poem provisions no cure.     Now I diarise each time they’re eventing – whenever I coffee or Youtube or gift.  I’d podium, too – if I ever won anything, and it weren’t for those medalling kids. Brian Bilston

I’ve been poeming about how my nouns keep conversioning to verbs.

Just finished printing some woodcut notecards. Hanging to dry. Been awhile since i've done any printmaking---love the smell of ink in the studio!

I'm looking for more Bluesky accts to add to my #Uplift fodder feed. Any suggestions? I already have many animal-related & garden/scenery sources so am esp looking for accts that post fun/funny, quirky, thought-provoking, or other uplifting content that ISN'T political, mean, or asking people for $.

Hope your appointment goes well ❤️.

We like going to Spencer Spit, too. We’ve enjoyed camping on the beach @ Odlin.
The southern part of the island, like Point Colville, is so beautiful.

Do you have a fav spot on Lopez?

Love Lopez Island! It has such a chill vibe.

For each of the last 2 PGA golfers to complete a career Grand Slam (Rory McIlroy at 2025 Masters & Tiger Woods at 2000 Open Championship), the Mariners have won a home series vs Texas AND hit a Grand Slam that week (Randy Arozarena 4/9/25 & Joe Oliver 7/22/00). ⛳️⚾️ #TheMayerGWS

Asparagus and fresh goat cheese tart

My springtime recipe for an asparagus and fresh goat cheese tart.

And how wines - and other foods - are classified (and ordered) in France. Terroir, baby!

If it grows together it goes together.

Baseball player in Mariners uniform holds bat on shoulder. Text overlay reads "Called Up Ben Williamson, Rainiers ---> Mariners." Confident expression.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨: Our Seattle Mariners have selected infielder Ben Williamson from AAA Tacoma. He'll wear the #9.

OF Dominic Canzone was optioned to AAA Tacoma, and INF Ryan Bliss was transferred to 60-day Injured List (torn left biceps).
