To be fair, we do love chickpeas in our house so this is really a compliment? I think? 😂

Screenshot of track listing of Yusuf/Cat Stevens CD: 3. THE FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST 4. LADY D'ARBANVILLE 5. WHERE DO THE CHILDREN PLAY?

With apologies to both said lady Patti and troubadour Yusuf/Cat, 10yo heard this and thought it sounded like LADY GARBANZO, and so it shall be.

Olivia Dean during her #GRAMMYs acceptance speech for Best New Artist:

“I’m up here as the granddaughter of an immigrant, I’m a product of bravery and I think those people deserve to be celebrated.”

Tree hugs.

Lehigh County exec says he’s evicting ICE agents from Allentown office, citing 3 years of unpaid rent Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel’s announcement to evict the ICE agents came shortly after the county’s financial watchdog revealed the agency owes more than $115,000 in rent.

Please enjoy this local news: “Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel said he is evicting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit from a county-owned building where it has occupied an office for about three years but never paid rent…
“We’re going to deport ICE,” Pinsley said at the news conference”

We love Mad Libs! 10yo has a sleepover we picked up before her party this summer, and I gave her the Olivia Rodrigo version for Christmas. Super fun and silly, and a nice escape. :)

Let's find Tyree!

Prior authorization is such a damn racket, I swear.

I figure that if my healthcare provider - WHO KNOWS ME AND KNOWS MY MEDICAL HISTORY AND NEEDS - decides that I need something, that’s where it should stop, in terms of insurance companies being nosy weirdos who are totally uninformed.

So I have been donating O- all these years for nothing??

I close my eyes through like half of The Pitt bc I am a huge baby, but that still bothers me way less than those GR shows.

WHOA. I love it.

Her face!! 🥰

I wonder if it’s bc you know it’s SFX makeup, etc.

My husband, 10yo, and I like to watch Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares and Secret Service, but we can’t watch those when eating bc that’s actual, real horrific kitchen conditions. 🤢

You have not, and your posts keep a lot of us (myself included for sure!) going and focusing on the things we can control and things we can make better - spreading love and kindness and supporting our communities. 💜

Ahh - I thought that might be the case but wasn’t 100% sure.

Hey @bourbonplanner.bsky.social!

Thank you for sharing this bit of calm, and I think this is a time when having an #UglyDogs compound somewhere would be perfect. Scritches, coffee, and kindness aplenty, and I think that’s what we all need right now. 💜

Baby ducks and a bonus Capybara

Yes

Our grey doesn’t pounce like this (thankfully!!) but he comes in and plants a HUGE SMOOCH on my nose most mornings, right at 5:45a 😂

I work in healthcare. I track vaccinations.

We have NOT been instructed that vaccines wont be covered by insurance. At all. REQUEST THEM.

PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN.
PROTECT YOUR PARENTS/GRANDPARENTS.
PROTECT YOURSELVES.

Yay!! That’s awesome to hear, and it’s definitely such an important good relationship to have.

Oh, heck yeah, Dr. K!!

Maybe we shouldn’t tell him, but I bet he would’ve gotten the treat without asking 🤭

The first two hours this morning

And you just know she’s like, I’m Queen Pepé, so obviously I can do things others can’t, but we all work as a team and everyone trusts me to lead the way! 👑

Q, I have no doubt that no matter her age, no two- nor four-legged subjects of the Queen can keep up w/ her, but no one really minds! 💜

I love these, and Kyoto is such a wonderful place. Would love to visit again!

My favorite is when they are sitting so nicely and have the very serious DO YOU SEE HOW STILL I AM SITTING AND ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE ME A TREAT BECAUSE OF THIS FACT face and then their ears betray them like this 🤣

She’s the best boss, I bet. 🥰
