Yes, Rubio’s statement strikes me as iranic.

I’m still window shopping for #beef.

My dad flew F4s in combat. Whenever the US launched a military campaign based solely, or primarily, on air power, he used to complain that:

“Pilots don’t have mothers.”

The American public is always more willing to accept military action that doesn’t use boots on the ground.

A love owl box. I created this as a place to keep those special things away from prying eyes

I second the recommendation for @lizaadamczewski.bsky.social ! I look for her every day.

I needed that this morning.

Today’s moment of calm

This is unthinkable. Horrendous. Literally sickening.

Dang, I got that backward. I meant to say photo. *facepalm*

I thought for moment it was a painting.

Aww. I was afraid it must be.

Old Fox

Hare

The interior of an ancient church

After tea, in the fade-light, Old Fox walked to the sheep church on the Downs. It was dark, lit by a single oil lamp & deserted but for an elderly hare in the front pew. He was wiping tears away. It's all so hard, he said. I know, said Old Fox & went to sit with him.

The Rabbit, by a branch of red berries in a snowy field.

There was once a rabbit who dreamt of wild adventure, of liners sailing to Brazil, carrot fields in Norfolk, creameries in Normandy. I have a small life, he said. But before he died, he looked up at his beloved human & he realised that a life of love is never slight, not at all.

Today’s moment of calm is brought to you by Liza Adamczewski and Mozart. Always a pleasure to listen to a bit of Mozart when the world feels like it’s tilting on its axis a bit. You know that feeling of the earth shifting under foot. Steady the buffs 🩷

Today’s moment of calm.
It’s Monday morning and with a new week bearing down upon us if like me you’re rushing around spinning plates metaphorically, take a moment to stop, concentrate on your breathing and think of one thing that you’re truly grateful for.

I love this…it like like he’s peeking in through a window.

The last unredacted one is awful.

Trumplicans are taking Healthcare away from millions of Americans’. Meanwhile the official White House account reshared Trump’s Truth Social Post: “Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there.
