Dude. The absolute feeling of accomplishment when you've taken three semi-disparate spreadsheets and combined them into one after way too many hours of cajoling.
@wethepeopledissent.bsky.social heads up, but you have a typo in your very wonderful spreadsheet of protest data. In row 5 it says it will be "presevered" instead of "preserved" on the next tab.
Happy #caturday ! This stripey cat is hiding amid the caladiums.

I drove past a little girl who had to wait on her adult and she was flipping up her jacket in boredom and prancing around squishing the edges of snow. Exactly Me kind of behavior.
This week’s Shelf Life dives in to dazzling bespoke books from our Sutro Library. The book featured is “Essays: First Series” by Ralph Waldo Emerson from 1902. #libraries #books
It should be against the law to operate a business and not have a clear mechanism to talk to a real human being when you need to.
Shoveling is hard work, but shoveling with the whole street of neighbors helping? A whole lot more fun.
A crow whistles to itself on a bright winter day. It's scratching at the snow with its foot. It sees something blue and plastic sticking out of the snow and says "Hello what's this". It reaches to pick it up with its beak and yanks it out with a "shing!"
The thing is revealed to be a blue bic pen. The crow holds it triumphantly above its head. There is a magic light emanating from the pen which is creating a blue crosshatching effect on the sky.
The crow holds the glorious pen and the words "I AM ARTIST" frame the image.

A hatchback that is almost entirely covered in snow, surrounded by snow, and mushroom shaped because of the snow.
Do you want to build a snowman?
When the snow and wind stops we’re going to make another push outside and conquer the car just in case.
a lightning bug has the most comically gigantic eyes (but it's a picture, they just look like that) and words next to their face say "A wall?? 4 me??: with little hearts on either side of their face. and the skype a scientist logo on the bottom right
Yo Philly, I'm scheming again.
I spent the morning with our board member who runs point on grants. We're submitting proposals for a fall project that will require 3 walls with at least 10x10ft of space in Philly.
The mural theme: Philly Bugs.
Have a wall? Tell me here 👇

Snuggle town is not at overstimulation station.
But also, things get better and improved upon when they’re shared. I generally don’t like self publication because too many folks seem to keep it all under lock and key instead of really making sure it’ll land in their intended market. Critique is good and is meant to be more than “this is blank”.
I feel like I’ve seen more and more articles like this based in NJ. Either our reps ignore us on large issues or the part where a Republican council can still be against ICE fuckery. NJ is becoming more and more irritated (a nice and subdued word).

Will this stop me from watching it? No. Not as long as Judith and Jeremy are in the show. They are the only reason to keep watching.

AKA The Madame Blanc Mysteries.
We just finished the Christmas specials and boy howdy is this show unserious and… not quite in the funny category either.
We’re throwing ✨CLIMATE DANCE PARTIES✨ at aquariums, natural history museums, and botanical gardens to celebrate my book *What If We Get It Right?* coming out in paperback on April 14th.
The world is a hot mess and I feel like we all just need to boogie.
Details coming soon: getitright.earth/tour
I chose the wrong H Mart yesterday and was overstimulated and food-sad (gluten free and vegan, forgot there was gluten in some of my fave snacks). Today we went to 99 Ranch, temporarily forgetting Lunar New Year and now I’m sat in the car while Kai orders boba so I can sit in silence.
I love her.

I am repeatedly baffled.
Why have I never considered riso cards before?!
Font/type people: what's a nice simple typeface like Gill but isn't associated with a deeply problematic individual?
I’ve been thinking of you.
Broooooooooo a foot rest?!?! I am now invested in your review of this chair.
How is the chair though?
A dark red handknit hat with 5 stacked rows of blue writing, staggered so that the words read vertically as well as horizontally: FUCK ICE (3 repeats) FUCK CBP (3 repeats) FUCK ICE (3 repeats) FUCK CBP (3 repeats) FUCK ICE (3 repeats)
