Glad to hear the Gross Trees in my neighborhood -- easily accessible via Gross Public Transportation, no less -- are finally getting some attention in the other Washington

Our Seattle cats have decamped to our tiny upstairs where it's almost 90 degrees, even though we have a window unit downstairs that's keeping us humans below 80. They seem to enjoy melting upstairs more than in my lap, thank goodness.

Thank you so much for sharing this. The two Davids are gone but they left us much to get us through these horrors.

First half was alarming enough, but it only gets worse from there!
While parents are asked to consent to these surveillance programs, the school’s handbook says that there is “no expectation of privacy” on campus. If parents want to restrict recordings of their children outside of the school, they have to manually opt out of the “anywhere” option—as Jessica Lopez learned midway through her older daughter’s second year at Alpha. The girl says she remembers sitting on her bed one night working on schoolwork when she received a notification that she’d been flagged for an anti-pattern. She says Alpha’s system sent a video of her in her pajamas, taken from the computer’s webcam, that showed her talking to her younger sister.

It's a mess, but it's a beautiful mess! This is autumn from our front yard, as harvest season wraps up in the Pacific Northwest. #gardening 🌱
A mostly white cat with gray ears balances on the edge of a raised garden bed, surrounded by plants that are starting to fall asleep. A massive grape trellis dominates the scene, but the prettiest color is displayed by the potted volunteer maple which is a vivid rusty red. The blue sky is streaked with high clouds.

My 82-year-old mom and her sister saw the Aurora for the first time in their entire lives tonight because of your tips, @vincentledvina.bsky.social ! This meant a LOT to them and to me. ❤️ Thank you. ❤️ And I'd never seen such an active aurora before! Photo taken from Point Betsie, MI.

Shopping bags! 🧡 Some of them really do look just like that. We tend to call them "pollen-pouches"

The poppies are here!!! 🎉 I forgot to water them for a second (they're potted) so who knows how many I'll actually get, but I'm thrilled anyway because LOOK. #flowerfeed 🌱
Papaver orientale 'Helen Elizabeth'. It's the most delicious salmon pink color ever and the middle is an almost-as-tasty deep purple.

I've started getting more Canadian followers since noting my dual citizenship in my profile! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy ❤️🇨🇦 In honor of that, here's me visiting relatives in Inverness, NS, and a 2014 memento of better times while visiting my Ottawan brother. Sigh. #ilovecanada #thanksdad

Hanging out with Mom and Butterscotch. Not bad, not bad. Hope this post finds you safe and cozy, or that this post helps tide you over until you are.
An almost excessively cozy Christmas Eve scene of a lady in a recliner with a butterscotch-colored cat sleeping on her lap. In between her and the cat is a fleece blanket with little pine trees on it. On the other side of the room are some cozy armchairs, a plug-in heater with fake flames, a mini Christmas tree, and handmade stockings hanging from a bookshelf
