Thank you :) It was a lucky shot.
They're very mysterious, indeed. Their feathers are fringed to keep their flight silent. You never hear them flying by.
It is, indeed. We have three nesting couples in my apartment complex, each with its own territory (intra-territorial squabbles are common and noisy), and they leave these everywhere 🙂
Ask your PCP. CVS in my state will only have it for "eligible" people 🙄 with a doctor's prescription. So I will be getting all my boosters (flu, Covid, etc.) from my PCP henceforth. Sorry, CVS.

They should holiday in N. Korea for a few dozen months. Might get through to them that this is not what they really want.
They need to bring it up before the next Cabinet meeting so they can fawn over him about it for three hours.
It's not his short suit, either.
Probably would be shunted elsewhere.
Either way works for me if it's the PowerBall this week.
It's a delicacy in Indonesia. I accidentally tried one and immediately hid it under my napkin so as not to insult my host. Beware the ayam goreng.
And in independent contracting.
As we recognize Labor Day this weekend remember that it’s the labor movement and the support for unions that made America a better place. Child labor laws, worker safety, healthcare benefits, and pensions: we owe votes for unions and improved workplaces. This weekend, celebrate the labor movement!
So am I... (freelancer)
And gold crayon drawings if possible, too.
Oh and don't forget the one-pager with the bullet lists in gold ink. So he doesn't have to try to read any of the studies.
All right, companies. Send him copies of your MULTIPLE regular studies, all bound in gold leaf. That should do the trick.
Because in the U.S. a Labor Day was first proposed in Sept. in the 1880's. Also May 1st is International Workers' Day, which most people in the U.S. consider "socialist." (Gasp.)
We could find someone to advocate against the potential harm of Viagra...
#MorningVibe You can make your own bread and still subscribe to Democratic values. YOU CAN CHOOSE.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
Remember the reason for Labor Day. Wishing all a peaceful one. youtu.be/h5Eb9SzVazc?...
My reflections of Labour Day. This is a time for working class resistance in the face of the oligarchs. charlieangus.substack.com/p/no-such-th...
They are truly demonic.
They were to be flown out in the middle of the night. The. middle. of. the. night. Since when do legit programs operate in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend? Thank God this was found out and stopped.
A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from deporting around 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children, citing legal protections and due process rights. The children, aged 10-17, expressed fear of return, contradicting claims they wished to reunite with parents in Guatemala.
I’m going to say this louder this time: if you are lying about having a high-risk condition to get a Covid vaccine, all good, do what you want to do BUT show some actual goddamn respect for people who *actually* have that condition and start masking.
Actually, it was his son Howard's foundation that sent that support, just to clarify. omaha.com/news/local/a...
#OTD in 1967, Thurgood Marshall was confirmed as the first Black Supreme Court justice. His work as a civil rights lawyer, including in Brown v. Board of Education, reshaped America’s path toward equality. #TheMarchContinues
A group of 6 LCC K9 comfort dogs arrived in Minneapolis yesterday in the wake of the latest mass shooting. The organization deploys comfort dogs following tragic events. The dogs wore their "please pet me vests," offering love and comfort to those processing this heartbreaking tragedy. 15/10 for all
You know who benefits most from antivaccine conspiracy theories as national health policy? Our enemies.
He thought I would not notice but he did not think I knew he thought that. They all do that. We'll notice at the polls, too, and I'll remind everyone before that. I keep receipts.
Ladies, and marginalized communities across this country will be astronomically affected by the EO the felon signed on Thursday. I wouldn't be worried but MAGA politicians are going to cram through the worst of the EOs into law. Give my friend, Bob, from TikTok a listen. #SheShed

After I contacted my (R) senator about Medicaid, he had the gall to reply specifically saying he intended to do everything to uphold Medicaid for the citizens of my state, and then turned right around and voted for the bill. Needless to say, I sent him his own email back with a note: "You Lied."
Thank you, Raven, and I apologise for not being very clear. I was thinking Gov. Newsom needed to add those sources to his little posters (and make them WAY larger so people can see better 😉)
J'attends donc avec impatience! Un jour, c'est sûr.
C'est fort réussi. J'ai aussi noté les plantations qui me semblent destinées aux pollinateurs. Ici en Floride les gens les prendraient pour de mauvaises herbes et voudraient qu'elles soient coupées. 🙄 Montréal me fait penser à chez moi à Sarreguemines, et à sa petite zone piétonne pleine de fleurs.♥️
It was well done. The attendees did not back down and continued to insist, and when he left, they heaped ignominy upon him. Good job.
Instead of addressing the questions head-on they lie and gaslight and otherwise belittle their own constituents and insult their intelligence. Republicans, your elected officials are mocking you instead of working to address your families' needs. They. Only. Want. Your. Vote. Shame! Shame! Shame!
This is a great idea and I don't doubt the statements, but it would be helpful to visibly add the logo of the source. Too many people are starting to call AI (it's trendy) or otherwise call facts into question. Sources are important. Show them.
Happy Birthday, Bob. We shall overcome.🎁🎂🎉
Thank you for reminding me. It's on my list.

Thank you, Mr. Angus. I'm sure the Canadian courts are amply competent to handle him.

I fervently hope that "forever" comes right after "out of power."
That's ... ominous.
Best would be: impeached three times and finally removed after his name. He, his admin. and his handlers need to become the examples for literally everything the Founders hoped to prevent. "Now, why did the Founders add this to the Constitution, boys and girls? This, this, this and that, too."
Chapter and verse, with at least summaries of every bad decision and their consequences.
And remove the freaking tasteless patio or whatever that is and give us back our rose garden.

Tout cela permet aussi d'éviter la triste impression de "vide inutile" que l'on voit souvent dans trop de villes américaines, surtout celles à terrain très plat. C'est vraiment très joli avec beaucoup de fraîcheur et me donne encore plus envie de venir visiter. Chapeau!
Enough is enough. The health of the country is in danger. Read our resignation letters: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...
This definitely does not bode well. Republicans did this.
Nice captures! I've always found La Défense to be somewhat disconcerting myself after having whiled away the hours in the older parts of the city, and I've been there often. From the Grande Arche looking towards the city center, you can see l'Arc de Triomphe and vice versa from the Arc.
As others have mentioned, I reckon "vaccine tourism" might get to be quite a thing.
Last week, even.
I'm totally with you on this.
This is a major story. “Trump wants Greenland”? King Leopoldo wanted the Congo. And took it. It’s naked imperialism. And espionage. More than 80% of the population of Greenland is indigenous. “Beautiful” Inuits are not “asking Trump to take over.” They categorically don’t want it.
Was just asking about that. Or Mexico or wherever when on vacation out of country.
These new guidelines are totally asinine. This should be up to the individual and their doctor!!! I'm wondering if people in border areas could go to Canada or Mexico for it. Or get it while on a vacation or something.
Looks kind of like it, including their own kids.
Congressman Frost played a leading role in establishing the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, introducing the first bill to create it in March 2023. The office acted as a hub to assist and support federal agencies and local communities and law enforcement in working to prevent gun violence.
This year: Annunciation Catholic School, Minneapolis, MN Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology, Inglewood, CA Florida State University, Tallahassee FL Pasadena Memorial High School, TX Antioch High School, Nashville, TN
We are horrified to hear of the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in south Minneapolis. Though details are yet to emerge, we are damn tired of going thru this again while our leaders do diddly squat to prevent it from happening again. Thoughts and prayers will never be enough.
I second that opinion. WTAF.
Oh my goodness! 😍
I always enjoy pointing out that Bethlehem is in the West Bank. When asked where that is in Israel, I explain that the West Bank is in Palestine. Therefore, ya know...
Right? 😠
If journalists are going to ask these questions, great. They just need a pile of paper receipts to show: "You mean, these cities? or these? or these?" Bring the receipts WITH you.
BREAKING: Catelin Drey just FLIPPED Iowa’s SD-01, breaking the GOP’s supermajority in the chamber! She’s ready to put working families back at the forefront of politics in Iowa after years of Republican policy failures.
I love this picture and that is indeed a nice scarf.

Crafts are a sure-fire way to fill up empty space fast 🙂 (Beader here). I am kidding and I know you'll find a way. It usually starts with "I need a..." As the French say, "la nature a horreur du vide" (nature hates empty space) and you know it will fill up one way or another mysteriously on its own.
Have a safe and productive school year, Brandt. Wishing you and your students amazing things.
Trop drôle...
Ah, que j'aurais aimé être une petite souris pour pouvoir les entndre... mdr.
We’ve posted about this before, but now it’s official a federal judge has made it clear: Alina Habba has been serving as New Jersey’s U.S. attorney without legal authority for over a month.
Reports of starvation in Gaza raise the questions: Why the hesitation in labeling it a famine? And who are the authorities with the power to make that call?
Here is an interesting option for groceries! 🧵
I'll pass it on and pay it forward as well. 💙
Thank you, Bruce, I will definitely look into this.
"The letter also points to RFK Jr.’s comments undercutting the safety and effectiveness of measles vaccines during this year’s outbreak, overseeing the termination of numerous CDC workers and suggestions that childhood vaccines could be linked to autism."
The rainbow crosswalk at Pulse was never about politics. It was a memorial. 49 people died BECAUSE they were LGBTQ. Ron DeSantis calls it “surface art” with a political agenda, folding it into his culture war playbook. He erased it in the dark, but memories can't be washed away with black paint.
May he rest in peace 😔
