My wish for the day...
now try to unsee it
Weekend at Bernie’s?
Drove 4 hours thru remote NW Maine to do the Eagle Lake Ghost Train hike yesterday. It was quite the adventure! #maine #newengland #photography #outdoors #outdoorphotography #landscape #landscapephotography #nature #naturephotography #hike #hiking #train #ghosttrains #allagash #allagashghosttrains
Naw I imagine it would be Weekend At Bernie’s.
And many of that 30 were repugs. The Lying King is trying to get one out of jail because she cheated for him.
I opened my own Little Free Library today ♥️ Pittsburgh friends...message me for the address!
From today’s hike.
And so did Worm Brain which is crazy that he hates vaccines. His parents didn’t or he might be dead!
I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
Los Angeles, CA Music Festival 9/1/25
🚨Speaking truth to power in Atlanta, Georgia! This man is spot on. We see you, Atlanta!🚨
WE DID IT!!! 82 hours. 201,701 steps. Countless stories and supporters along the way. I’m proud, I’m sore, and I’m more certain than ever: Pennsylvanians won’t stop until we #FundTransit.
We want to give a big shout-out to Palm Beach Gardens, New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Houston, Albuquerque, Cleveland, and Greensboro! Thank you for showing up today and making your voices heard! 💚✊
Dogs are amazing! ❤️🐕🐾 #dog #dogday #bluesky
OK who did this?💀😂
🤣
Labor Day in Nevada County! Powerful message 💙
🚨NYC never misses a beat! Today is no different.
And Worm Brain got his because his parents knew vaccines worked!!
VACCINES SAVES LIVES!!!!👍🇺🇸🥳
🚨Let’s hear it for Columbus, Ohio! 🚨
DC MUSIC FESTIVAL HAPPENING NOW 9/1
📌 Nice to see D.C. show up day after day. ✊🏼 Power to the people!
If he had a stroke I predict that he won’t be replaced because they would all be afraid of him. It requires the VP and cabinet members to vote to remove him but they won’t. Sad but true!
oh god there's ppl on Walter Reed watch now
natural interplay— me, this ukulele, & the autumn crickets #haiku #music #nature
Thanks!
Beautiful
Graham Greene has sadly passed away at the age of 73. He played Skully in ‘Echo’
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Thank you on this labor day!!
Steven Colbert and his wife appeared in the crowd at the Alcaraz match, and the arena went wild when his face hit the screen. People clearly adore him—and honestly, seeing that joy gave me a surge of hope.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.

Lol reminds me of when you ask your Mom if she will buy you something and her answer was always “maybe” which in Mom talk meant “never”!
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.

Naw! Putin has him right where he wants him. The biggest infiltration of Russia into America ever!
I didn’t really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.

We can let her off the leash and she will stay with us no matter where we are.
Lol mine is a mix of border collie and husky. But here mannerisms and temperament are all husky. She does have that border collie trait of knowing here yard boundaries.
Good for you. My kids started singing “Bill Nye the Science Guy” as soon as they knew we would be watching it. I wore ties every day so I became know as the Tie Guy! Even put it on my rest when I was looking for another Science teacher job in Austin, Texas.
I hear you, I think they have just as much impact today as they ever did, hence why I started this project to reinvigorate them..
All done and dusted now, just gotta spend the next dew days reorganising etc, but I'll be back to my usual soon 😊🙏✌️
I used Bill Nye’s videos in my classroom for years. Kids loved it!
🌋 Bill Nye talks MAGMA not MAGA 🌋 Just finished my new remaster of Bill Nye The Science Guy’s Volcanoes episode with much better video quality. I improved sound, sharpened visuals, and spent more time fixing the color grading. 👉 SeriouslyScientific.com/Volcanoes
Good Luck with the move! My last move was a nightmare!
Taking a wee break from the poetry today, as am going to be too busy with the move.. thank you all for support and kind wishes, it is very much appreciated 🙏🙌✌️✨️✨️✨️😊💚
Day 224 REALITY CHECK: The election was highly compromised. There was a coup. The Supreme Court was the primary lever. Everything we have witnessed is TREASON. There’s no way out of this without MASS MOVEMENTS of the people. No one is coming to save us. We must rise up in peaceful revolution NOW.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Difference between a husky and border collie... 👀😅🤣 #dog #dogday #bluesky
The country is being run by drug addicts, reality tv stars and fox news hosts.
Troops in the streets and he thinks he’s going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home
#whistpr I've studied Every #angle And curve Of you The sway Of your hair As you turn Your head And smile The wiggle Of every toe As you drift Off to sleep The twitch Of the corner Of your lips As you Anticipate A kiss The warmth Of your hand As you cup My chin The love Glinting In your eye

I remember watching all those Tarzan movies! Seeing it when I got older I thought how did they ever get away with that?
Tonight on TCM #TCM TARZAN AND HIS MATE (1934) TCM is showing the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan series and this, the second entry, may be the best. Very pre-Code, with Maureen O'Sullivan wearing a startling revealing jungle costume and featuring the famous nude swimming scene. Recommended. 🎥

September 1, 1939 I sit in one of the dives On Fifty-second Street Uncertain and afraid As the clever hopes expire Of a low dishonest decade: Waves of anger and fear Circulate over the bright And darkened lands of the earth...
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
Why? Why couldn't it be this morning?!?
I’m delighted to have three senryu in the final issue of Failed Haiku. Thanks so much to Editor Kelly Moyer for including me among so many phenomenal pieces. Also a huge thank you to Founding Editor Mike Rehling for the opportunity over the past few years. #senryu failedhaiku.com/wp-content/u...

Yearning, pulling from the hearted gut outward, onward, beyond, toward- is constant, magnetic, tethered, bound to elsewhere, out there, somewhere, another sphere- Yearning, aching to excess from seduced soul, temptation drifting, shifting, tilting, waxing, peaking. #vss365 #poetry
I don’t believe in Heaven, but even I know Trump won’t be getting into a place reserved for good folks…

Naked, before you, in repose, at the most exposed asking, asking for a loving reflection; Baring my truth, on display, inner self portrayed seeking, seeking total acceptance; Naked, before you, vulnerable, hoping, hoping to be loved #emoetry #poetry

I believe so too.
GOP Rep Chuck Edwards is confronted by infuriated constituents at his town hall.
