October should be 2 weeks longer and November 2 weeks shorter
October: cooler days, chilly nights, pumpkins, autumn colors, golden sunlight, cozy flannel, spookiness
November: 3 weeks waiting for Thanksgiving

A haunted house but every room is

Denni, a golden retriever with a sweet face, sits and looks up at the camera with a smile. she has a passenger clinging to her back. a baby koala. the joey's eyes peak over the top of Denni's head.

Denni is standing and looking off to the left of the frame. the baby koala on her back looks at the camera.

a super zoomed photo of the baby koala and their mom high up in a tree. the adult koala holds onto her joey and looks down at the camera with what we would like to think is appreciation for caring for her baby.

This is Denni. She took an unexpected babysitting shift when she found a baby koala in her yard. She cheerfully delivered the joey to her human, who put them back in the tree to be reunited with their mom. 14/10 (FB: Steve Lamplough)

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

I take it from the bathroom into the kitchen so I can see it one last time on the counter, unplugged, before I leave for work. But I still check at least twice. I thought it was just me.

The power of an amazing song is timeless - it takes me back to the day I bought this album in 1986.

A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons.

Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

Wednesday start Good morning Blue Sky

You know a Brit’s really mad when they beg your pardon, then suggest something may have escaped your attention, before apologising for being close to losing their patience. Upon reaching boiling point, there’s a chance they’ll issue the killer blow of offering you their regards.

Folks, it's been real.
Everything's is even worse than we realize.
Enjoy this farewell forever vid.

😁😁😁😁😁

Baby #elephant gets embarrassed... 😭 #bluesky

I plant dill for them every year. One year they ate through it all so bought a bunch of organic dill at the grocery store. Put it in a tall cup of water, then transferred them to it. They disappeared after a few days so guess they went off to become butterflies. A lot of work but worth it!

My broken heart breaks all over again.

"We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much. "We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve. "Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad. "Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them. "If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following: • Plant a tree. • Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail. • Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do. • Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it. • Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone. • Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something. • Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace. "Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark.

Along with quicksand, spontaneous combustion was something else to worry about in the 1970s.

I love this.

2017, Billy Earl Dade Middle School in Dallas planned a “Breakfast with Dads” for boys whose fathers couldn’t attend. They asked for 50 volunteers—nearly 600 men showed up.

This Father’s Day, let’s remember: You don’t have to be someone’s dad to be their example.

We have a torby, too (tortoiseshell + tabby). Torbies are a delight!

This summers must-have accessory is, of course, the snacklebox:

I believe that everyone should be allowed the space and time and opportunity to become who they truly are. I am sad that some people, given the space and time and opportunity, choose to be assholes.

Poster featuring a flat illustration of a Northern Mockingbird singing in an upright position- semi-abstract bubble/balloon birds spring forth in the colorful shapes of many birds including a Blue Jay, Goldfinch, Robin, and Eastern Phoebe.

Mockingbird’s Muses poster prints are here!!

As a child in the 1970s, spontaneous combustion was also a constant worry.

Absolutely heartbreaking.

Sweet boy, I am so very sorry that we as a society failed to keep you safe.

Regardless of your religion, beliefs, vibe, all of the above, or none of the above, the new Pope is what "good" is supposed to be.

Don't worry. It's a happy place. The staff is very friendly. We love their blueberry muffins, almond pastries, and olive oil. Our closest Costco is 60 miles away so we try to stop whenever we're in the area.
