2/2 It's a keyword kind of week, and today Kitty's keywords are north, south, east, and west. Token 1 to start you off - Lori & the Chameleons: Touch "Far, far EAST." What will you add with your two tokens? And will someone oust Kitty from her small cardboard box by guessing her closing token?

Hello bluesky! Welcome to the Mystery Jukebox 4.0!😸 It's 11AM. Kitty surveys the racks of optics and sparkling glasses then saunters over to the jukebox and switches it on. It lights up. She crosses the slightly sticky carpet and throws open the doors. Rules: michaelgallagherwrites.com/rules/ 1/2

I’ve walked past this tree hundreds of times but today the moss covering looks startlingly bright. To me the base resembles a rhinoceros head. Any other ideas?

The Uncivilized Cat. 1930. www.flemingcollection.com/collection/s...

A stylized, gently angular tempera painting of a shorthaired black cat in the middle of a small scene of destruction. Surrounding him are an overturned flower vase and scattered paper and glasses and a knocked over drinking glass.

NEW: Abortion bans are fueling domestic violence in Texas. The leading cause of death for pregnant women is homicide, often by an abusive partner with a gun. And Texas is forcing victims to stay pregnant, while making it easier for abusers to get guns. www.huffpost.com/entry/texas-...

Pssssst, Henri döst.

Bild von unserem Kater Henri. Man sieht ihn von rechts. Sein Kopf liegt auf meinem Bauch, seine Augen sind geschlossen. Die Ohren stehen leicht nach außen gedreht. Sein Kopf ist braun mit ein bisschen Tiger drinne, er hat die zwei typisch schwarze Streifen von den Augen Richtung Wange. Seine schnurrhaare sind weiß. Man sieht einen Teil seines Rumpf links im Bild, dieser ist unten weiß oben getigert. Sein Kopf ruht auf meinem dunkelrot schwarz melierten pullover. Im Hintergrund ist eine braune Decke. Das Bild ist aufgenommen aus meiner Sicht. Ich hoffe der Text war verständlich. Gerne Verbesserungsvorschläge als Kommentar da lassen. Danke.

That's the good news, such as it is. There's also bad news: It is clear from the order that Jackson-Akiwumi couldn't get either other judge on the panel — Ripple or Brennan — even to agree to have the parties *brief* whether a stay is appropriate. She dissented on that basis.

Seventh Circuit restricts trans minors' rights in Indiana without a word explaining why

The appeals court allowed Indiana's law banning gender-affirming medical care for minors to go into effect for the first time Tuesday in an unusual, questionable order.

Sunlight was expensive this winter wasting in cloudbanks of grey gaining slow ground inside dark houses failing to fade our best book spines; yet yellow spears on this last leap day of February finds us fluttering like moths against covered panes thinking of spring. X #WritingandBooks

Are we going to talk about contraception today? Yes, we are. In Iowa, some Republicans are adding outrageous amendments to a bill that would make OTC birth control legal, including seeking to equate it to abortion. These amendments also include: iowastartingline.com/2024/02/27/a...

HF 2584 is the over-the-counter birth control bill and four amendments added to it would require pharmacists to:
tell people about alternatives to abortion such as adoption,
list the “risks” of abortion (abortion is incredibly safe),
tell people where the nearest hospital is “in case of medical emergency from the use of the self-administered hormonal contraceptive” and
show people an inaccurate anti-abortion video produced by an anti-abortion group that claims to demonstrate fetal development (Meet Baby Olivia. Lawmakers have also suggested this video be shown to children in school).
