This was always going to be the next step. There are no trans players in the WNBA so instead they're going after cis women who are insufficiently feminine for them.

Just 10 billionaires have already poured over $600 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

a handmade embroidery artwork titled "Manually embroidered cats" created by artist @ladyserebrennikova.

It features three cats with intricate, unique patterns on their bodies.
The artist notes that these are manually embroidered and sometimes sold with baby cats included.
The designs are often inspired by traditional art patterns like folk embroidery or floral themes.

This is Finley. He is the Guinness Book of World Records champ for most tennis balls held by a dog in their mouth with 6 at once. Earned the title six years ago and has remained undefeated. He may be a senior, but he definitely knows ball. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: finnyboymolloy)

a senior golden retriever sits in the grass in front of a gray stone wall and faces the camera head-on. he has at least four tennis balls in his mouth – two stacked vertically under his nose, and one pressing up his cheek flaps on either side. the balls are faded shades of orange and green, now weathered and well-loved, like the sugary white of the dog’s face.

Kiki, Queen of the Torties. Except that she’s technically a calico because of a white splotch at the end of her tail. She usually hides the tail when holding court.

I could see some fog on the mountain from home so I dashed up and caught the tail end of it before it burned off in the late morning. #Hiking #Photography #Scape #ForestFriday #Fog #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland

A view of a pine forest as the morning fog started to dissipate and burned off shortly afterwards. The fog is really a low hanging cloud that sits on this mountain forest and get blown through here and onto the city below. If you catch it at the right time you can stand on the edge of the cloud and see where the view starts to disintegrate into a haze. Or you bring some coffee, sit and watch as the cloud passes through and the whole scene changes. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, sometimes a few hours.
