Dr. Seuss (yes, that Dr. Seuss) political cartoon from WW2. A schoolmarm labeled “America First” reads to two alarmed-looking children from a book titled “Adolph the Wolf”: “And the Wolf chewed up the children and spit out their bones… but those were *foreign* *children* and it really didn’t matter.”

@democrats.org More actual resistance, less performative bullshit please.

(Left) t=0; (right) t+5 nanoseconds. Get you a romantic partner who loves you the way cats love interrupting quilting projects. #quiltsky
Strip set for a bargello quilt in progress, in shades of blue. Strip set is laid out on a white duvet. Zero (0) cats are visible. The same strip set. Two gray-and-white cats are neglecting the vast expanse the rest of the duvet to curl up on it.

Sebastian and Viola: the smol period
Gray and white striped kitten, already with a magnificent set of whiskers, sits on a tiled floor. Gray and white striped kitten on a duvet. It is so puffy, and he is so small, that it looks like he’s hunkered down in a giant snowdrift. Dilute torbie kitten on a rug, playing with a stray bit of fabric and practicing her “who, me??????” expression, which she continues to use in the present. Dilute torbie kitten next to two remote controls, which are easily half her size.
