apparently our puzzle table at work has quite the appetite for puzzle pieces... we had to pry it open today and discovered 14 from 3 different puzzles (and we're still missing at least 10)

the project i needed it for was installing a spice rack that I bought for my husband's birthday, but somehow he ended up doing the bulk of the work today. I've really got this all figured out

from the Des Moines No Kings protest, a person in an inflatable polar bear costume is holding a sign reading "F-U ICE" in the middle of a crowd. other signs read "REJECTING 👑 SINCE 1776" and "Hands OFF our Democracy"
