Happy caturday! Enjoy some scenes from the inaugural Lower Allston Cat Stroll! #catsky #Allston #Boston #cats

VERY FLUFFY grey and white cat being held under the belly by a person in a white t-shirt and being pet and adored by the crowd.

A crowd of people seen from the back gathered around the front of a house focusing on a cat.

Two fluffy Siamese-esque(?) cats sitting in a double decker purple-with-white-polka-dots cat stroller, one on the upper deck one in the lower deck. Both interested in the crows.

I started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money. That's Dolly.

Let’s talk about Medicare for All. What would it mean for the individual American? ⬇ The day you’re born you get a card that gives you health insurance with no premium, co-pay, or deductible. Doesn’t matter if you get a job, lose a job, turn 26 or 65, get married or divorced — it's there for you.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.
