I’ve seen many people on here asking for more cats. Allow me to introduce you to Nugget. He was found wandering the streets of Kensington about two years ago and charmed his way into our hearts and home. We found him through @jortsthecat.bsky.social. He is, as you can see, extremely orange. #catsky
If Maintenance Phase taught me anything it’s that this should read “A Paradise for the Incompetent.”

There's a point, around the age of twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities.

Scientists tell Americans not to trust the CDC.
Instead of a global leader in science, the CDC has devolved into “a propaganda machine for RFK Jr.'s fixed, immutable, science-resistant theories,” said @pauloffit.bsky.social.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Beshear: If you walk down your street and look at six houses, at least one of them is going to belong to someone from a different political party. But you care about all of them. The challenge is to take that mindset from our own street and apply it to everyone we interact with

This is a watershed moment — we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion.
We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.

Listening to the arrogance of a conspiracy theorist lawyer insist he is correct while the evidence mounts against him and children are dying…what a hateful, cruel, power hungry man.
