HAPPY YARN BABY BIRTHDAY!! That’s an awesome accomplishment! 🧶💙🎂🎉🌻

Only the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations could put out a story about how the 2020 election was stolen to distract from the fact the Epstein Files haven't been released and that he is an alcoholic.

His faaaace! I’m cackling!

Both of our cats snore and whistle. They’ve freaked me out more than once!

We should be learning from other countries...

A close up photo of a wall in the Northern Quarter Manchester. The wall has a covering of of old white peeling posters. There is also splodges of yellow paint at the top. Artwork of a black cat with an open wide miaowing mouth with sharp white teeth is at the bottom right. The artist is dinstff (I think)

I gasped when I saw the picture! What beautiful work!

I ignored my social anxiety and went to my book club meeting this morning, and I’m glad I did. It was a real treat to sit with smart women to discuss books and life and everything else!

This is absolutely stunning!

Today's Headline And then one day, while I read aloud to my husband the news and felt the widening hole in my heart, he raised his hand to quiet me. I followed his gaze out the window to see in the yard a small fluffy thing with black and white eyespots on its head. A northern pygmy owl beside our door, stout body slightly smaller than my fist. It turned its neck a full half circle to look at me with bright yellow eyes. In an instant, I shifted from disgust with the world to awe. Awe for this fierce bespeckled miracle, this wonder of feather and beak and claw, this small being in the grass looking back at me as if to say, Here is also the news. How surprising the world can be. How quickly, when I let it, amazement overwrites my fear and makes of the hole in my heart a home. -Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

Beautiful combination!

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”.

This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

I’m in a hospital right now, and strangely, not one doctor is wearing a Jesus robe.
