A tiny posy of October garden flowers in a cobalt blue Victorian ink bottle. There are small spots of dopamine-inducing floral colour out there if you search for it...🌿

When they've put all the non white, non Christians in their place, a lot of people are going to discover they're not white enough or the "wrong" kind of Christian. Authoritarian regimes always need a group to scare their base with.

They need to start calling them people and not migrants, because too many people think migrants aren’t human.

Do y'all have an obvious favorite photo of your dog? Because I sure do, and it will forever be this one of him photobombing Devil's Tower lol.

A photo of my dog photo-bombing Devil's Tower. My dog, a husky/malamute/wolf with black and tan fur is sitting in front of the towering rocky pillar with a large smile and tongue hanging out.

In Spain, this has forced an early election. In the US, we shrug, call it freedom and accuse anyone who opposes it of being an anti American communist.

When I was 7 or so, my grandmother babysat and let me stay up way too late on my own when she went to bed. Psycho was the late night movie and I was scarred for life.

Truly vile. At a public event, Mike Graham mocked Andy Burnham’s father for having Alzheimer’s, less than three weeks after Roy Burnham died and apparently on the day of his funeral. Just the lowest of the low.

When I used to write for The Guardian, every time I wrote the word “meow” the editors would change it to “miaow”. It used to really get on my wick. Don’t try to make my cats sound like your upper middle class London cats, you fuckers. My cats did not go to your posh cat schools. They say “meow”.

No foreign adversary is ever going to attack Washington. The man who sent a murderous mob to attack Congress rather than concede an election loss is fortifying DC against American citizens.

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that
