My son wants to join the AF 🇺🇸

He’s plotted out his entire future based on the AF Academy — he’s only a freshman in HS 😆

Reminder: Raising the debt ceiling does not increase spending or the federal debt. It simply allows the government to pay bills it has already taken on. Know the truth.

Wrote a little Haiku, one of my favourite types of poetry. Paired it with a couple of my images. Hope you like it.

****
grief is a boulder
it doesn't get less heavy
your arms get stronger

Just picked up my cat from surgery and they gave him better drugs than I got after delivering a baby.

Retired NFL star Brett Favre is suing Mississippi State Auditor Shad White, accusing the Republican official of “defamation” over comments he made related to Favre’s role in Mississippi’s ongoing welfare scandal.

But the auditor's office says that “everything Auditor White has said about this case is true and is backed by years of audit work by the professionals at the Office of the State Auditor.”

We need public infrastructure for public services.

A dream come true..

Welp, rules are rules.

Fetterman experienced a fairly anodyne post-stroke symptom and went to the hospital to get things checked out, out of an abundance of caution?

Good! That is responsible behavior.

He's a senator, he's not juggling the nuclear football.

So tired of the sensationalist ableism.

A good analysis of Elon Musk?
Made me laugh, certainly.

For me, the best part of quilting is when all of the piecing is done. The sweet spot where I've completed the quilting and start finishing the binding: always by hand and always while listening to jazz.

This quilt ("Break the Rules") was finished to Dorothy Ashby's Afro-Harping album.

It was perfect.

"I still don’t consider Mastodon a straight Twitter alternative — at least not the Twitter we’ve come to know during the Trump/Musk Error — but it has replaced the Twitter I used to know & love back in the day. I’m no longer getting a steady feed of breaking “news” & half-baked hot takes...[or] drowning in a raging feed of varying relevance & quality...My feed is calmer as I’m slowly & deliberately rebuilding my network...rethinking how I want to engage on social media."

It’s nice to know people took silly pictures of their pets back in 1875 already

From @davew the creator of #RSS and #Podcasting tech:

"...with Twitter, I think I'll just bow out.. None of the apps I've made that depend on Twitter are worth $100 a month to keep running.

That's another story, because the Twitter ecosystem for cool utilities was practically non-existent.

All that energy from now on clearly is going to Mastodon where there is no vendor who can turn the cart over..."

@waitnwallflower 💯 it’s complete BS. Trump ppl already worship him and by not holding him accountable they’re making it look like he’s telling the truth and like he didn’t commit any crimes. If there’s such a thing as justice in this country then trump above all others should be in prison. Period.
