Yeah, but not at warp speed!
Good news!
Banana bread cuts food waste. We don't need no stinkin' gene edits.
Seems simple but you (meaning "I") gotta do it.
Who were those 10 Democrats voting for censure!?!?
Beautiful form, beautiful color!
💯
Bird on bird. This morning, a varied thrush lit upon my heron sculpture in the backyard.
They've had the brains reverse engineered out of them. Not even joking.
If you’ve been noticing your favorite artists grinding harder than usual… that is no coincidence. It’s getting harder and harder to make ends meet, please consider supporting your fave artists by liking, RTing, engaging with their work! 🧡 Times are tough but community keeps us strong 🫶
😢 😭
I am exactly the same!
BTW, I'm not watching, just reading.
Every single Dem should have walked out in support of Al Green. BTW I'm donating to Al Green after this. Hear that Dems? Check on which side your bread is buttered on.
YASSSSSSSSSS!
BOOOOOOOOOOO
Which is precisely the point of gaslighting.
Also, thank YOU!.
Exactly! Sgraffito for mental health!
Ain't it the truth? Your work is beautiful. BTW, I am a sgraffito nut, as well!
Thank you for suggesting this, because I feel like absolute shit, and this is a little drop of feel-good.
G'night. youtu.be/_NO2eI30Qhc?...
Especially funny because Ben Stein is a Republican and voted for Trump, at least in 2016.
At least one will be skipping it.
I know. I'm telling you, if a single D shows up to the address to Congress on Tuesday, I'm going to lose it. Spoiler alert: I'm going to lose it.
This isn't courage. She's a Democrat. It's the bare minimum expected after breathing. Get back to me when a R says this.
Thanks for that insight. I do like the double entendre, though.
Omigod, *that's* who that was? That makes it even better. And by better, I mean worse.
From now on, when I finish a piece of my artwork, I'm going to do happy dance, shudder with joy, and slowly raise my arms in adoration. My self-esteem is gonna be lit!
I'd forgotten we ever used to get treats.
I don't want to see a single Democrat at this. If they go and sit and listen respectfully to the monster we watched berate Zelenskyy today, I don't know...drugs may be involved.
Yup. So satisfying (almost.)
I agree. I've never been as upset at T's behavior than I was watching this debacle. He spoke to Zelenskyy like a naughty child. It triggered me, TBH.
The thing with people who are just ignorant, as opposed to cruel, is that they can possibly be educated. That said, I completely get, and share, your anger. I'm interested in why's though.
I'm beginning to see that some of his voters are really not aware of the cruel policies. They're not political people. They just have personal issues to solve. I'm in no way excusing anyone for their T-vote, I'm saying we're judging by our standards, which aren't theirs. They don't think like us.

We live on a river, and every now and then we see a pair of ducks going at it. It's very quick and very funny. Then I learned that a duck penis is shaped like a corkscrew, and, well, it fits! So to speak.
Not really, but kinda.

Gorgeous color!
Those people you think are going about their lives like everything is normal are actually thinking the same thing you are (WTF is going on?) but they don't know what to do about it. Courage is contagious. Get out in the streets & protest & they will join you! You are not alone.
Amen on the soundtrack!

"One of the less frequently noticed luxuries of the postwar liberal order was the license to be a fool." So many good pull-quotes, it was hard to choose. This short piece highlights an issue that I haven't been aware of. Worth the read. www.thetimes.com/article/b3bb...
Round up immigrants, stand guard at polling places, put down protests...feel free to add to the list.
I couldn't even conceive of such an evil entity. Now I don't have to conceive of it.
Watching now. It's brutal.
Given that today FOTUS fired the chairman of the joint chiefs (Black, btw) and several other generals and admirals who probably wouldn't go along with his nonsense, those decisions are looking nazi-er and nazi-er.
I mean, that's awful, but even *I*, a non-expert on any of this, could have told him that was what was going to happen.
Who'dja vote for?
Major congratulations!
Yes.
"The neurodevelopmental processes of autism occur before birth." Full stop. Let's stop blaming vaccines and shaming parents for using them to protect their children. Autism occurs naturally, it is likely heritable. And it is a difference, not a deficiency. It does not need to be "cured."
Absolutely! 💯
Hello, Exhausting, I'm Too Much, pleased to meetcha. 😁
I know I have used this term before, but this -- THIS! -- is focking *terrifying*.
Worth the short read.
Mouth-watering good?
The stage is set for tonight's Beppe Gambetta show at Music on the McKenzie!
I finished up the 20 pots in 20 days, but I'm staying the course! Here is a piece called "A Dozen Dreams." The four separate sections, done in the sgraffito technique, can be turned to make 12 different creatures. Approximately 12"H. #ceramics
If by "wasteful," you mean "doesn't benefit me personally," they're in exactly the right agencies.
Last I checked, the federal government doesn't get to install people in NYC government positions. But that was just last I checked. Maybe things are different now?
Susan Collins.
Choose 20 pots or ceramic pieces that you have made. One pot per day for 20 days, in no particular order. Day 20 (I cheated. These are three pots.)
I never thought about it, but it is! 😈
Gallons of gumbo for house concert pre-function on Tuesday. Beppe Gambetta is playing!
All bow down...
Me three! Go to the optometrist there and buy the glasses.
I mean, it's not nice, but I get it.

Okay, mixed cases, with Molson back.
Ideally, Canadian Club.
If you're okay with quashing black and brown people because you hate politicians -- or because eggs are too expensive -- you're a racist. Racists are not going to answer the polling question, "Are you a racist?" with a yes.
We are now Putin's wet dream.* *Can I say that?
Sadly, I think you are right. Thank you for telling it like it is, not how you want it to be.
Few
We're in a little banana belt upriver a gew miles. Even Eugene had snow and ice.
I could use a snow day just for the beauty and quiet. We got nuthin'.
Happy Valentine's Day to the FELONious monkey.

But the RW news outlets wouldn't do it, leaving only RW news outlets, which FOTUS would *love*.
But we knew!
From the mouths of babes. Even if this one came from demon spawn.
I will do this. Used to love Target, even thought they were somewhat progressive back in the day.

Choose 20 pots or ceramic pieces that you have made. One pot per day for 20 days, in no particular order. Day 16
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you're doing. ❤️ I do understand that I'm able to say what I said confidently because of privilege. I guess what I really want to say is that I am willing and able to help the people who don't have the resources. We only get through this together.
They/we are suffering/going to suffer anyway. Sometimes you have to take some discomfort to resist oppression. I understand this ain't easy. I'm willing to endure what I can to resist.
Let it shut down. That's on them.
Elmo: First of all, some of the things I say will be incorrect. 🤯 Tell *that* to the judge.
This is really good messaging from Senator Gallego 👏

Caring is a pain in the a$$, but I can't stop. It's literally in my DNA.
