At least she didn’t die on the floor. 🙄

And no money to spend on these companies’ products.

Thank you for this voice of reason, Nora.

One source of information might be the Baltimore County Public Library. They have social workers there to help people navigate social welfare policies and organizations. Enoch Pratt in B’more City may have the same sort of programs.

I’m sure some people are.

And it’s not like Platner is a complete unknown outside Maine.

There are bigger issues here than just Maine issues, too.

Gun control?!?! Piffle! Why would anyone think we need gun control here??

/sarcasm

We love the library!

Young teary-eyed frog at the beach. His ice cream has fallen out of his cone onto the sand, a sea gull is sitting on his head and laughing at him, and a crab is threatening to pinch his leg.

Lovely. Elegant simplicity is hard.

Eric, this is not a mermaid. They have flowing red hair and big blue eyes and carry little jeweled mirrors.

This is a mercrone.

Vaccines are good, folks.

(I know. I’m arguing to the choir here.)

I have to pick up a reserve at the library and I keep looking around at my as-yet-unread books and thinking “Why? Why are you importing more things to read?”

And why are we not all from Maine? Because Congress affects all of us. We may not be able to vote in other States’ elections but we can sure as hell have opinions about their candidates.

Because it affects us too.

Hartzog said lawmakers need to create more specific rules tailored to the unique threat posed by the combination of facial recognition and nearly undetectable surveillance technology before it becomes ubiquitous. Those laws need to target not only people using the technology, but also the companies behind it, he said. “A lot of these conversations tend to focus on, ‘is it OK to use these glasses or this tool to surveil other people?’” he said. “What often gets lost in this conversation is, ‘is it OK for companies to design these really socially hostile tools in ways that will foreseeably lead to massive violations of privacy?’”

@peculiarityshop.bsky.social - I’m not one of the people affected, but after reading your email this morning, I just wanted to send you a little friendly wave and say you guys are terrific and I hope everything turns up roses soon!

Giving me flashbacks to my late loved hamster to whom we gave a piece of milk chocolate. Which was immediately placed in a pouch. And almost immediately melted, causing much consternation to said hamster. Also, many chocolate footprints on our kitchen table.

I love the image of the trees leaning back, away from the house.

I think that’s a wise decision.

I want more, please!

He’s wonderful to watch.

I love his videos! (I watch his YouTube shorts.). Didn’t realize he was so close!

Watched one where some right-wing chickie was saying food isn’t a human right because then farmers would be working for free. And he just calmly tore her idiocy to shreds.

Don’t know if it’s your type of game, but Bonnie Bear Saves Frogtime is charming and funny and there’s a lot of spoken dialogue which might rest your throat.

It’s just a wonderful game.

I think it’s way past time to retire beauty pageants.

These cats are adorable. Please give them a good home

Oh! These are gorgeous!

I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of this book...I'm not sure how much I'll understand, but it just sounds so fascinating.

The universe is such a strange and wonderful place.

Oh my! Those are so pretty!

I truly hate when little Right Wing Hitler youth open their mouths and give opinions in their over sized fake glasses, that they think will make them seem smart ,on things they know nothing about.

But listen to a real farmer rip her apart.

JK Rowling is a raging bigot… and a mediocre writer
