like this a lot, just adding alt for accessibility, text search and such
handwritten text says the things we do do things to us. in the middle of the picture shows a person painting on an easel, as the person is being painted that painted figure on the easel is reaching out and painting a heart onto the painter. the image is mostly black and white lines except for the red heart as a highlight, and the painted figure is in gold with little sparkles around it, plus there's a few colors on the paint palette. the style is whimsical and the characters are both smiling.

When I started first grade there was a big ring of printed years on the wall ending with 2000, which is when we would graduate high school. I distinctly remember looking around the room and going “this is bullshit, that is way too long”

This is just unforgivable theft of joy
"I haven't seen some of my students for two weeks. Every day my class gets smaller and smaller," a fifth-grade St Paul public schools teacher said. "It's hard for 10-year-olds to wrap their head around. They were trying to work out how long Trump had left in office, so they know when they can go back outside for recess."

Wanna know another point we passed normalizing what shouldn't be accepted from someone who runs a country from Trump? Accepting his Truth Social screeds as official government communication. His own social media network no one's on but his cult. Why does the world bow at his garbled mandates on it?

The funniest thing about today is the number of urban planning guys insisting history doesn't matter. Why are so few places genuinely walkable & what does that have to do with race riots and red lining?

L.A. Metro, the main transit operator for Los Angeles, just voted to oppose SB 79, a law legalizing the construction of housing near stations. You can't make this stuff up. Legislators should remember this the next time they come to Sacramento begging for more money.

Part of why I only let my cat outside on a leash is so he won't murder all the wildlife. But when a possum jumps onto our fence right next to us???

Luckily my cat had no idea what to do when the possum just… stood there.

My partner was just telling me that Minneapolis’s Aquatennial Parade started in 1940 as a way to give the public a diversion from remembering Bloody Friday six years before, which was when cops shot 69 picketing truck drivers (killed two of them). Sure didn’t learn that one in school.

DHS filed an answer today in the lawsuit Los Angeles Press Club filed against them for violently assaulting journalists, legal observers and protesters.

And just like that, the US has left the World Health Organization.

United States Completes WHO Withdrawal WASHINGTON —  January 22, 2026 — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of State today announced the United States’ completion of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) due to the organization's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states.Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a joint statement on the termination of U.S. membership in the WHO.President Trump on January 20, 2025, announced the U.S. plan to leave the WHO. During the yearlong process, the U.S. stopped funding WHO, withdrew all personnel from WHO, and began pivoting activities previously conducted with WHO to direct bilateral engagements with other countries and organizations. With the exit from WHO, the U.S. will be coordinating with WHO solely in a limited fashion to effectuate withdrawal.  The WHO delayed declaring a global public health emergency and a pandemic during the early stages of COVID-19, costing the world critical weeks as the virus spread. During that period, WHO leadership echoed and praised China's response despite evidence of early underreporting, suppression of information and delays in confirming human-to-human transmission. The organization also downplayed asymptomatic transmission risks and failed to promptly acknowledge airborne spread.After the pandemic, the WHO did not adopt meaningful reforms to address political influence, governance weaknesses or poor coordination, reinforcing concerns that politics took priority over rapid, independent public health action and eroding global trust. Its report evaluating the possible origins of COVID-19 rejected the possibility that scientists cre…

In case you missed it: One of the ICE observers was pulled out of her car by CBP, who used facial recognition on her.

Three days later, she learned her TSA-Pre clearance had been revoked.
