Gorgeous! What was the temperature?
We don't get near enough snow where I live now, in western WA state. Too warm for anything white, but lots of rain.

EXACTLY. If Bsky had a button... You know the kind... I would have ETA'd that word to my comment a dozen times by now, for clarity.

To be clear, my anger & resentment regarding the inability on Earth to avoid ingesting tiny fragments of plastic in today's food & water defy description. Practically apoplectic, for starters.
The thought processes that follow, however, spread like fractals that rapidly break containment again.

Well that's dandy. Do microplastics in the coronary arteries show up on a calcium scan? Or is detection limited to an autopsy?

Yes, sadly. It's called "internalized misogyny." According to the therapist a while back, when I had to ask: "What even is that?!?"
A driver of it is the assumed (but ultimately false) personal safety derived from 'proximity to power.'

Just to be clear: does that mean the report won't be late this time, or that it won't be published at all?
Rhetorical question. Pretty sure I know. The wording of that headline just begs to be played with.

Even with thick fur coming in, if my dog is curled up inside the house & looks cold I might tuck him in. He unfurled once blankies on. Yeah I could probably turn up the thermostat a little bit; he was warm enough to relocate to another bed after 20 minutes or so. I think he appreciates my attention.

Ha! I had to read the Alt text to find out what to look for. There might also be a leg sticking out from under the covers? If so, the toes are out of frame so it's hard to tell

My husky+ mystery mix surprised me with how much fur he can lose over a hot summer. His coat goes from thick plush standoff warmth to thin breezy flat-coat w/a near-naked undercarriage.😀 So for maybe 2-3 days per year he actually gets cold enough to want a warm vest while his winter coat grows back

Right! It's like that dude doesn't know about or understand that breeds from very cold winter climates have insulative double coats, while dogs adapted to hot summer regions generally have a thinner single coat (long or short) that mostly provides some shade to protect from instant sunburn.

Yep. The influx of votes ends up being just enough to not trigger an automatic recount

Election fraud is manipulation of vote counts. Voter fraud is when someone casts a ballot illegally.
