NOAA Cuts Leave Wind Chimes As Sole Predictor Of Approaching Hurricanes

What a very good pup!

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students.

This is how you refuse to comply.

I am holding on tightly to these words because this week has felt like a year.
The moment demands the wisdom of ancestors.

Panel 1. A quote in a starry sky: “We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars. - Oscar Wilde” Below, people are lying in the gutter. One is looking through a telescope. Panel 2. “Guys, astronomy is amazing.” Says the figure with a telescope ”You should all give it a try.” To which others reply “Sure. Why not?”. Panel 3. Now the quote reads: “We are all in the gutter but we are looking at the stars.” All the people are looking through telescopes. Panel 4. “This is great! Apart from being in the gutter.” Says one of the people. Another replies ”Let’s go to the observatory!” and leads the way. Panel 5. The quote now reads: “We are all looking at the stars but some of us are in the gutter.” Everyone is in the observatory except two figures who lie in the gutter looking up through their telescopes. Panel 6. The original telescope bearer leans out of the window and asks “Why are you guys still in the gutter?” and they reply “We don’t like too much change”.

REALLY IMPORTANT UPDATE PLEASE SHARE

#ASafeChoice physicians WILL prescribe medication abortion via telehealth FOR WOMEN WHO ANTICIPATE NEEDING THIS MEDICATION.

REPEAT: You do NOT need to be currently pregnant to get this prescription.

In an era of potentially draconian abortion bans, take note!

Hate to say it, but I have these issues even driving a Honda Pilot … defly problematic.

Same reaction when I got to see Chris Thile and Béla Fleck together - otherworldly.

Definitely sending the virtual ones - our cat, Darby, would also send a nose touch if she were sufficiently awake. We appreciate you being in this space and hope things improve soon.👊🏻
