Good morning from Hoomum's house of hope, Bluesky family! It's a brisk, sunny morning in the north woods. As soon as Hoomum put her phone away, two deer crossed the road in front of us, proving that you never know when good things will happen. Keep the faith & have a great day! 🙂🐕🐾🌞🦌❤️

🍽️ 🍜 This is homemade ricotta gnocchi with sausage pieces piled on top of homemade vodka tomato sauce with spinach and a grating of fresh Parmesan.

We prefer "appropriation." Rank has its privileges, moom! 😂

This looks like more like Tr*** & Vance, don't you think?

One source of Hoomum's ennui... Betsy DeVos was bad enough; now this unctuous platitudinous WrestleMania wag comes along. 🤮

It's rained off/ on all day here, too. I know what you mean. Lazy day, even though there are things that need to be done. The cold, damp air cuts right to the bone!

Good afternoon from Hoomum's abode of apathy, Bluesky family! It's another grey, rainy day and the high temp is 47°F. Brrr! Feels more like November! The CEO slackers agree! Comfort food #3 for dinner -- mostaccioli with red sauce, green salad, and strawberries & cream for dessert. 🐕🐾❤️🍝🥗🍓

Hoomum gives us a tablespoon of plain scrambly eggs with our meals to add extra protein, Omega 3s, & keep our coats shiny. She alternates w/diced, plain sauteed calves liver. We got extra today bc she felt guilty re the mini-walk. Holding out for 🥩! Slacker is still in her sweats & it's lunchtime! 😒

One would think an attorney for Manpower would know better. Apparently, not. The hubris is deafening. Bet she's making her own wish now. 🤭

Hi, Ralph! Raining at the #49thParallel, too. We had the shortest patrol in recent history -- RUDE! -- but got warm microfiber towels massages and extra scrambly eggs with breakfast afterward. Trade-offs, fren! 😆

The home security system probably has a motion-sensitive camera in every room that activates at night.

😆 Hoomum just ate a few pita chips with extra crunchy Jif (the choice of choosy mothers! 🤭). Rhys & Phoebe say her eyes looked just like yours! 🐕🐾❤️

History is cyclic. Those movements, plus abstract expressionism, were reactions to socio-economic & political hardship, along with the run-up to WWII. Picasso's "Guernica" and Goya's "Executions of the Fifth of May 1808" are two excellent examples of visual art as social protest & visual journalism.

Executions of the Third of May, 1808. Completed 1814. Documenting the [Iberian] Peninsular War. France [Napoleon] v Spain.

Depends on contract provisions & the union(s) involved. If the ensemble breaches the contract, the artists (musicians, actors, etc.) still have to be paid. Ensembles have to play a game of "chicken," hoping the venue cancels so they still get paid. Same thing re back & front-of-house employees.
