With apologies to both said lady Patti and troubadour Yusuf/Cat, 10yo heard this and thought it sounded like LADY GARBANZO, and so it shall be.

Olivia Dean during her #GRAMMYs acceptance speech for Best New Artist: “I’m up here as the granddaughter of an immigrant, I’m a product of bravery and I think those people deserve to be celebrated.”

Tree hugs.

So I have been donating O- all these years for nothing??

WHOA. I love it.

Baby ducks and a bonus Capybara

Our grey doesn’t pounce like this (thankfully!!) but he comes in and plants a HUGE SMOOCH on my nose most mornings, right at 5:45a 😂

I work in healthcare. I track vaccinations. We have NOT been instructed that vaccines wont be covered by insurance. At all. REQUEST THEM. PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN. PROTECT YOUR PARENTS/GRANDPARENTS. PROTECT YOURSELVES.

The first two hours this morning

Cape Cod Evening - 1939 https://botfrens.com/collections/173/contents/3103844

I love these, and Kyoto is such a wonderful place. Would love to visit again!

So, we weren’t going to have a calendar this year. But I got to thinking about Pepé and I was like “How can I honor TWELVE YEARS of this majestic dog???” and then I decided she deserves HER VERY OWN 12 month calendar. I hope it’s not too late. #uglydogs www.createphotocalendars.com/Store/A+Doze...

Moonset over some of my slightly above average ice cover 🌊🌊

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

I love this idea so much. I’m not celebrating (and will probably 💤 early bc I have a cough that will not quit) and I am not strictly sober, but I am a one-and-done if I drink at all. Not great with one of my meds, and my late dad was an alcoholic (saying it aloud is freeing somehow) so I’m careful.

When you get the four wheeler stuck, but at least the lights are out

This is so, so great to read, and prior to reading this, I already admired @quincemountain.bsky.social in myriad ways - more so after reading! As one who has also lost a parent, this part really resonates, and as usual, Q says it best. 💜

yes. she investigated the case of why everyone at the new york times hated her and discovered that it was because she was too smart and too brave.

Stevie Wonder slander is a sin. Please go to the hottest part of hell.

Good night, lovely people and lovely dogs. I'm wishing you the very best for the week to come.

On the winter solstice, the Sun rises and shines down the length of the 5,100-year-old Newgrange passage tomb in County Meath, Ireland. Remarkable designing and implementation by the Neolithic engineers who built it.

I’m not a sci-fi person per se, but all of the amenities in this spaceship? I WOULD NEVER LEAVE!

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

Does anyone wanna see a really good Getty image of Rita Moreno and Sam The Eagle having dinner in 1979?

Count von Count is so dramatic that he was born for this exact role!

It is probably not possible for me to have any less interest in the Twilight franchise (books and movies). But Count?? Might have changed my mind!

I had this one, and it ruled!

I think this one is my favorite, as it’s an absolutely wild Dorothy outfit in so many ways. Man, she was the best.

Apart from the fact the leader of the right mocked Reiner, one small difference is that Reiner's day job was making movies that people loved, while Kirk's starting point was creating enemies list of professors to be fired or harassed. These are not the same things.

Magic is...

This could happen on the New England coast as well, TBH. Born and raised in Connecticut on Long Island Sound, I am well-acquainted with these blowhards and have narrowly avoided losing all kinds of food to these unrepentant jerks.

THREAD. A collection of photographs of birds I have met in the UK countryside. You will find the all-important captions to the photos in the alt text.

An important addendum to "look for the helpers" is "and then join them."

I am feeling extra thankful for my sister right now*; she’s a pharmacy tech who advised me to hold on to a few extra Vyvanse capsules per month (skipping days I don’t need them) in case I ever run up against a shortage or call too late for a refill. 😮‍💨 *always thankful for her bc she is the best 💜

I feel like I may secretly be a Highland coo! I’m the queen of the disco nap, and I believe inherited the “talent” to be able to sleep virtually anywhere from my dad, who (at least according to family lore) once fell asleep standing up while in the Army and on guard duty.

Curzon is missing. I let him out back to do his business and he just disappeared. I've looked and I haven't found them. Anybody if you're in the Potomac/ Bethesda area please keep an eye out.

A pet sleeping next to you feeling so safe and comfy is genuinely the most any human can really ask for It makes you feel like maybe you aren’t so bad. You might even be good

I am a student at Brown in communication with a friend at RIBC. There is an urgent need for blood donations to support RI. Donations in NY, NJ, MN, NB, DE or NJ can help supply RI. Spread the word. www.ribc.org/donate-blood/

And tomorrow it will have been 13 years since Sandy Hook. How long must we sing this song? apnews.com/article/brow...

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.
