This week's cold snap has me dwelling on how absolutely, crazily different life was a year ago...
...and how frosty the weather was on the day I finished this one.

Frog and Toad Bot @frogandtoadbot.bsky.social · 4d

“Your windows need scrubbing,” said Frog. “Your plants need watering.”

“Tomorrow!” cried Toad. “I will do it all tomorrow!”

Frog, ever the know-it-all, points out all the shortcomings of Toad's housekeeping. It is true, though, that Toad's house is a mighty mess, including a pile of dirty dishes in the sink.

From "Tomorrow"
In *Days with Frog and Toad*

If you can afford it, it's a good time to give a donation to your local food bank.

37% of people on SNAP are elderly and/or disabled.

Standing in a long line at a food bank may be impossible for them. It would be impossible for me.

We need robust networks of community care.

If you know someone who’s housebound or has limited mobility, offer to bring them groceries.

Each of these corporations has big federal contracts, is currently doing business with the Trump family, or has active antirust cases before the courts.

Everything is for sale.

As you boycott major corporations, you may want to join a local “Buy Nothing” group. buynothingproject.org
#LiberalResistance #BuyNothing #EconomicBlackout #Boycotts

Top of image says “Buy Nothing,” black text on a green and blue banner.

Main text says:
As you transition away from big business, you may want to join a local “Buy Nothing” group.

BuyNothingProject.org

All things are asked for or given away for free.

The bottom of the image has the Bluesky handle:
@liberalresistance.bsky.social

The bottom right says “Liberal Resistance” under the liberal resistance symbol, a combination of an “L” and an “R,” white symbol on a black background.

Above “love” is a multi colored flower with many petals all a unique color. In the center of the flower is green star with an eye in the middle. The artwork is made with painted cut paper.
