Once more unto the breach dear friends!

I hope today brings you good friends and good luck
Good morning everybody!

I hope today you find good seats and plenty of treats
And if amusing ambiguity makes you smile... today is Mole day. But where some of my calendars point to 6:02 10/23 (or more or less the avogadro constant, aka, a mole) others point to fuzzy critters (a mole)

So maybe pull out Wind in the Willows and a chemistry kit and see what happens?
Good morning all!

I hope your day brings you a smile to share and a smile to keep
Good morning everyone!

I hope your day twists and turns into something comfy and familiar
Good morning everyone!

I hope your day runs on time, in the right direction, and without bumps (to the head or otherwise)
Good morning all!

Today is a day for listening to leaves, touching the grass, and watching the clouds. Even if just for a minute
Good morning everyone!

I hope today brings you a minute to relax and a reason to smile

I'm sure the president, famously known for his obsession with crowd sizes, will be fuming about the turnout of this year's #NoKings.
Here's what "No Kings" Looked Like Across the World
It certainly wasn't a "Hate America Rally."

Dropped off some Steel Clan Saga and Witches of Portland books for the Defense Fund PDX fundraiser, and came home with another piece of embroidery art by @shanalee.bsky.social!

An afternoon well spent. We keep each other safe.
I think my favorite part was the number of dogs poking their heads out of cars, absolutely certain the crowd was there for them. Well, that and the purple hippos dancing with the unicorns.

Zero arrests by NYPD is actually astounding to me

They say No Kings Protestors hate this country, do these people look like they hate America?

I was incredibly close with my grandmother, who lived to 96 years old. She used to say this. It’s one of the most important phrases in my life. She’d be out in the street today if she were still here.
One of the most TRUE signs I have ever seen at a march. Write this down and act upon it, friends.

Good morning rockers and rollers, splishers and splashers!

I hope today you build a better bridge (and find something sweet along the way)
Good morning all!

I hope your day sparkles (and sparks an idea)

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.
Good morning all ya'll!

I hope today brings you the words you need, when you need them (And maybe a lagniappe word as well? Just for new word fun?)
Good morning everyone!

I hope your day offers an easy choice and an unexpected shortcut

"“How do we frame that, you know, in a way that's not seen as censorship?” Ron McFall, assistant dean of strategy and administration at the Media School, asked in that meeting."
Too. Cute.

The people behind the inflated protests are performing a monumental service to democracy & peace in the US. The Regime wants riots, but these animal characters are not only an effective protest, grabbing attention & mocking ICE, they seem to reduce the risk of violent protests. It's perfect.
The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.
