Foxes In Love

@foxes-in-love.bsky.social

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue looks at a calendar, and Green is turning around to see what he's looking at. One of the days in the calendar is marked in red.
Blue: Oh, it's valentine's day today!

Blue turns to look at Green.
Blue: Should we have done something special?
Green: But every day with you is special.
Blue: We both forgot to plan anything?
Green: Yep.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · Jan 16

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are watching a show from a laptop, cuddling while wrapped in the same blanket.
Blue: That's the ideal house. I want one like that one day.
Green: What, the weird hermit's shack?
Blue: Yeah.
Green: You say that every time a TV show has a weird hermit who lives in the woods.
Blue: The ideal lifestyle.

In 1979, Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed at the White House.

Ronald Reagan had them removed.

We may be able to trace back the current "Do Harmful Things if it Trolls the Libs" Republicanism to Reagan removing those panels the far more forward thinking Carter had installed.
