This is Frankie. He ran outside like he always does, only to find out his yard had been replaced with a white void. 12/10 (IG: frankiethenorfie)

The original sold but there are prints! Some are using them for marches!

The IRS started 2025 with about 102,000 employees and finished with roughly 74,000 after a series of firings and layoffs led by the Department of Government Efficiency. Here's what to know about this tax filing season — and when you could get your refund.

“Somewhere along the line, organized religion stopped being about faith, & started being who had the power to keep that faith.” Change of Heart , a novel. So indicative of our current time. This time it’s under the name of Christian Nationalists who want to get & keep the power.

A breathtaking scene of glowing light pillars created as streetlights bounce off floating ice crystals in –30°C cold.

In the fundamentalist church I was raised in females weren’t allowed to wear pants & had to wear panty hose when we left the house. When you snagged your hose & started a “run” you used clear nail polish to stop the run from getting bigger. Couldn’t use the polish on your fingernails tho.

@schlazor.bsky.social behold, your handmade snowflake on my handmade lamp.

@schlazor.bsky.social got your Christmas card. Love the picture & appreciate your finding joy in the small things.

Since I put the tree up (kids are coming) & decorated it I refuse to get down on my knees and unplug it every night. Hence, we have a big night light until December 26th.

Brad, that's not funny! (He's just told poor Steve that Santa doesn't exist)

This was inspired by my own life as well as the stories of so many people I talk with who grew up terrified of going to Hell and eternal torment and separation from loved ones. Can you relate?

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

"Voter suppression is proof that your vote has power"

How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.

Just finished watching Grinch & my heart is full. “I love you, Christmas…”

Love this so much. 💜

Mesmerizing and just a bright spot for your day.

Compliments of my son in law - Just think, if the Indians had given the pilgrims a donkey instead of a turkey… we’d be eating a piece of ass at Thanksgiving. 😜😜😜😜😜😜

Joining the quiet resistance by supporting PBS. There are ways to spit in the orange man’s eye.

I know my meds keep me sane & my behavior appropriate but I struggle with the side effect of drowsiness. Tipped over a coffee cup onto my jeans when I dozed off & am glad it wasn’t hot. Cookies baked for class this evening, sweeper ran, dishwasher ran, batting and backing cut for a new quilt. Done.

Fall beauty.

Sunday happiness.

On top is SNAP benefits not getting continued grocery prices have raised the most in 3 years.

This is Finn. His human stopped scratching his back, so he had to take matters into his own hands. 13/10 (TT: anna.ve.w)

This cartoon celebrates those who protect and care for the LGBTQ community. The allies who don't let any harm come to their queer friends.

An Associated Press analysis finds that the number of Black students enrolling at many elite colleges has dropped in the two years since the Supreme Court banned affirmative action in admissions.

Every day there are new vulgarities that should offend any person who loves Jesus. This week, he is literally autographing BIBLES and selling them for $1,000 each. Don’t ever pay $1,000 for a Bible… we’ll send you a free copy & make sure it doesn’t include the founding documents of America.

Those giant cookies you find at bakeries are found in my kitchen today. It’s the cookie version of Gooey Butter Cake & they are stuffed with cream cheese. Only 7 cookies per batch and 6 oz each. 😋

The pattern of "religious" men abusing children is real and documented. It's infuriating that LGBTQ+ people bear the brunt of moral panic rhetoric while the actual harm to children is coming from the very people doing the loudest screaming about "protecting" them. #NotADragQueen

This is Jesse Mack Butler from Oklahoma. Butler r*ped two teen girls over a period of 9 months, nearly killed them by strangulation, which was recorded on video. Butler was convicted of 11 counts of r*pe and sexual assault and was sentenced to 78 years in prison. But he will serve 0 jail time 1/2

Chicago is filled with really cool humans! Bravo

Reminder that we have a rogue president who disregards his oath of office, is an enemy of the Constitution, orders the murder of foreign nationals, and has partially demolished the White House.

Sweetness for Sunday.
