Doonesbury comic discussing the ‘No Kings’ movement in the USA and the need for a revolution colour like puce.

Doonesbury… puce is nice not meh! Puce is a dark red or brownish-purple colour originating from the French word puce (flea). It was coined in the late 18th century (circa 1775-1781) and refers to the colour that stains flea-ridden bedsheets because the fleas droppings are made of blood!!! #Parasites

Yummy!

🗻 Steal the Look: Mountain Chickadee ❄️ Snow boots? On. ❄️ Layers? Aggressive. ❄️ Snacks? Cached. With neutral tones to blend into the snow-covered conifers and handwarmers warming our coat pockets — It’s the perfect day to load up the flock, shift into 4-wheel drive, and trek through the forest for some serious birding. We will be fluffy, stay aware, and always know where the snacks are. Learn more about this alpine chick in our bird library: https://bit.ly/4s1zg2C

And by one drouthy fear made still,
Forgoing thought of quest or kill…
