Well, Squeaker Johnson said there are BARBARIANS inside the gate!

Tweet from Johnson:
THE BARBARIANS ARE AT THE GATE!

We are fighting right now in Congress over whether we’re going to maintain our status as a constitutional republic. OR trade that in, dismantle the foundations and GO DOWNTHIS DARK ROAD OF DEATH TO COMMUNISM.

THAT is the question.

Was it the No Kings rally on June 14?

Two people at a rally, one holding a sign that read: All of MY OUTRAGE won’t fit on this SIGN.

Paying my honors to #caturday before I go out for #noKingsDay. Is your widely nose cold, Lola?

A tortie cat loafed up on the bed with her nose down & buried in the covers which makes her ear point forward making her look like a very big mole.

This is Lola. Lola pulled a facecloth out of the clean laundry pile that I was folding. It is now Lola’s facecloth and she loves it.

Just to be clear, I do depend on the advice and inspiration of other poets and readers, but what makes my work is the special blessing it receives each day from the putting vibrations of Lola.

Lola, a sweet tortie, blesses my work. She is poised on scattered papers and pens in the middle of the bed.

Tell me I can’t get my buck’s worth out of an eyebrow pencil. And I’m not through yet! Yes, I am my grandmother who swished water around in the Kool-Aid package to make sure to get all the tiny flavored sugar crystals.

Meet Lola, who has come to live with us for awhile. She’s a little too concerned with checking the perimeters to pose properly, maybe in a day or two.

WTF? No, his longevity is NOT why it matters. He was an honest and decent President who spent his post-presidency working for peace and health for everyone. Do better, Newsweek.

The story of the brave little turtle. I am afraid of how this story ends. #JoeBrownMemorialParkLagoon1

A pond in late afternoon sun with bushy bank in the background. In the center is a grinning alligator sunning on top of a small platform. On top of the alligator is a medium size turtle, no doubt wondering, “how the hell do I get off of here?”

Happy Day that the axial tilt of the Earth away from the Sun is greatest, so that the Sun appears in the sky with its lowest maximum elevation—for those in the Northern Hemisphere. AKA Winter Solstice. Come walk with us and start your winter journey inward.
