This is what I get when lunch is three minutes late. Judging me, but still with his back to me and blocking my monitor.
Snapshot of a grumpy 20 pound back & tan marble tabby, perched on top of a notepad on a desk blocking the computer monitor with his back to the photographer, but with his head turned to scowl in disapproval. His wants and needs have obviously need ignored far too long.

Greetings from the blue dot of Lawrence KS, tucked in that little hook at the top right of the otherwise mostly red district 1.
A map of the Kansas congressional districts, grabbed from Wikipedia. Notably, Lawrence, in northern Douglas County, is one of the bluest towns in the state and is gerrymandered in to the hulking red District 1.

Protest sign exclaiming “JD almost killed Dolly!”  Everyone must protect Dolly ❤️ A view of protesters holding signs, focused in on one reminding us “Libraries Matter” A unicorn among the protest crowd holding a sign requesting “I’d like that Taco to go please”Another view of protesters lining Kentucky St, focused on a sign saying “Childless cat lady seeks president with brain”.

We can all use a little timeline cleanse these days… This is Brady- helping me get through the workday again. He does his best to smother my notepad and workspace when he thinks I should take a break.

You got me curious about that one, so I had to check it out too. Looks like same flight has done that before too.

So much for flying Southwest. In addition to now charging for checked bags, they’re adding expiration to flight credits. Everything they ever (successfully!!) advertised as a differentiator is now gone.
A screenshot of the email sent from Southwest to its travelers. Most of the text here:

Updates to Checked Baggage Policy
We will offer two free checked bags to Rapid Rewards® A-List Preferred Members and Customers traveling on Business Select fares. We will also offer one free checked bag to A-List Members and other select Customers. In addition, Southwest will credit one checked bag for Rapid Rewards Credit Cardmembers. All remaining Customers will pay to check their first and second bags, and we will continue to charge for the third and fourth checked bags. Changes will apply to flights booked on or after May 28.

Updates to Our Fare Bundles
We're updating the benefits of our fares bundles in phases. Whether you’re looking for a lower price with fewer perks, or more benefits for added flexibility, you’ll have the choice to pick what works best for your trip.

Phase 1: Beginning this month, we increased our Rapid Rewards earn ratio on our Business Select fares and lowered the earn ratio on our Wanna Get Away® and Wanna Get Away Plus™ fares. We will also begin to vary our redemption rates across our fare products on some high- and low-demand travel periods.

Phase 2: Beginning May 28, we will introduce a new Basic fare. This new Basic fare will be our lowest price point and will have less flexibility than other fares. Additionally, we will be adding expiration dates to our Flight Credits, which will vary based on which fare you choose to purchase.

The chart below gives you a full picture of the revised fare products as of May 28, 2025, ranging from most flexible to value-first.

Recycled meme of a poorly drawn line art person poking haplessly at the Chiefs logo. 
Read with the tone of “crying in Midwestern”…

I can get behind this sentiment 100%. I don’t have art to offer, but do have this beautiful view from a year ago…
Looking south to the Mediterranean Sea from Cap d’Agde, France in a summer morning. The view is of a path leading up to a small cliff with a French flag at the top of the hill, overlooking a small cove beach and rocky outcrops in the water.

Relatable. This princess will eat any combination of crinkly plastic, twist ties, hair ties, cardboard, and charging cables left out in the open.
