Love how the media says "10s of thousands" turned out for the No Kings protest. Girl try 10s of MILLIONS. Including Minnesota. Decorah, IA, population just under 8k, had an 8k person turnout! Here's Portland, OR.

Happy Caturday! We still working on building confidence on this leash. It helps to sit on mom or mom's stuff.

Oh and they singled out covid in this section for some reason, with this caveat.

The covid-19 policy may change after publication of this course. Be on the lookout for communications about any policy changes.

But they created a new category that wasn't there last year called "combined precautions." Listed are covid, ebola & RSV. All true, but the politics of refusing to identify as spread via the air is still alive and well. Guess what's listed under airborne? TB. But not covid-19.

Says "combined precautions" precautions may be combined (e.g. covid-19, ebola, RSV.)

Good morning, Bluesky 🦋 2 summers ago I was staying in a friend's tiny house in a secluded area near Mosier, OR. The night sky was stunning as it often is here. I became obsessed w snapping shots of the moon & creating abstracts with it. Here's one.

When I first moved to the West Coast I found the ocean unsettling. I preferred the landlocked safety of further inland. Now standing at the edge of the continental shelf brings inspiration and a deep calm ✨️. Florence, Oregon at dusk

Friends in the Portland area, anyone interested to adopt a sweet 5-yr old husky? Here's the info I have: She is very sweet once comfortable but tends to run a little anxious and is avoidant of men (will hide or pee if scared). A friend adopted her and adores her but has a male roommate.

I'm in the direct line of fire on both a personal and professional front. Agreed, it's important not to panic. But historically, many turned away quietly w 🤞 it won't be so bad. NO, don't turn away. Stay informed, organize. Much of what they're doing is illegal, unconstitutional & unpopular.

Pistachio's fur is so soft and healthy now, her eyes have cleared up and she's finally gaining weight! Thankfully the giardia & upper resp issues cleared up after almost 3 mo of illness. Feral kitten is now queen of the castle kitten...

Her book on the Besos' site has excellent reviews. All except this 1 star posted Jan 25. (I reported since not a product review.) The cult is so darkly, deeply misguided that her simple, kind request to have mercy on marginalized groups is interpreted as "mocking and speaking ugly of".

andyaf @andyaf.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

Ok it is on Besos' site. The book has excellent reviews, except for the 1 star review from 1/25 critiquing her directly. I reported the comment since it isn't a product review.

Oh, she has a book! "How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Love and Faith," by Mariann Edgar Budde. Seems to be out of stock and I'm loving that for her.

Just spotted in my local grocery. A sign indicating farmers are "still recovering" from bird flu (that's apparently over) thus the egg shortage. Who wants to tell them? If you're tracking the data, H5N1 is far from "over."
