Well, well, well... 🙄

a red toy poodle is sitting in front of a dark leather sofa, his chin tilted slightly up. his snout fur is so fluffy it’s completely blocking his eyes. underneath his little black nose, his mouth is open just enough to show off the tip of his tongue and four almost identical white teeth, like posts in a picket fence.

This is Nimo. He's not sure why everyone's obsessed with his smile. Might have something to do with his teeth, but he's not sure. 13/10 (IG: nyooochan)

I will never ever ever vote for anyone spewing shit about vaccines.

Shortly before COVID lockdown I saw Obama speak at a conference. He said 'surround yourself with the best people you can find'. I think of that many times a day, and even more on days like today.

WOW! I just checked it out and I have no doubt you'll have a blast and will come away with bragging rights to boot. Enjoy and learn lots!

seasonal allergies are kicking saucy’s butt today

Apple CEO Tim Cook is stepping down in September.

He has announced John Ternus as his successor.

Cook will be remaining on the board as the executive chairman.

Ternus’ last campaign contribution was to Democrat Chuck Schumer in 2021.

Heads up. It's likely going to be a very rough growing season for Oregon farmers - and any of us who somehow benefit from those crops.

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

Much respect to these legal people and the immigrants they support.

Bless these people. I once talked to someone who worked in an immigration office and had no idea what's involved, how long it takes, and how expensive immigration is. New citizens deserve to be celebrated.

For weeks, Trump has been saying he's won the war. Clearly that's not the case. The American people should be able to trust that the president isn't lying to them about the war they are being asked to pay for and fight in.

The Week Ahead We seem doomed to another week of war news.

This morning, just after 8 a.m., Trump had a long ramble on Truth Social that concluded, “if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!” That’s our start to the week ahead.

When Colbert ends in 1 month ‼️ I'll be down to one hour of CBS per *week*. Period. When that show's gone, so am I. Period.

What flavor of ice cream? Yesterday I had Coffee and Love Nuts at Salt & Straw. I'd never heard of 'love nuts' but it didn't matter, I had to have some. Yum!

Gorgeous! I've only grown amaryllis inside round the holidays. Not sure if I've ever seen one outside. I'm sooo jealous!

Whoa. Katie Porter. 🔥🔥🔥

Any relationship... I've had a few 'When someone shows you who they are' moments the past year and it was like a light switch immediately being turned off. You get so used to people being 'who they are' that you don't realize WHO THEY ARE until it slaps you upside the head.

Had my annual physical and it went great! I was expecting a lecture from my doc but they were like, damn girl, keep doin' what you're doin'!

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

ICYMI just now on NBC... Why haven't we heard much about Epstein's Zorro Ranch? I suspect that's about to change.

I received my Voter's Pamphlet a few days ago.

I always make it a thing to return my ballot to a drop box or the elections office then stop for a treat on the way home. 😁

Home | North Plains Elephant Garlic Festival The North Plains Elephant Garlic Festival is a 3 day event filled with fun including music, food, artisan vendors, and of course, garlic!

Gotta say, I've learned a LOT about garlic from watching America's Test Kitchen. Who knew it was so sophisticated!

And deservedly so, there's a festival each summer in Oregon dedicated to it. 🧄 #NationalGarlicDay
