Absolutely delighted to go to the Rutland County Pride Festival (VT). It was fun, busy, and joyful. Go Vermont!
Four Pride supporters standing in the street on either side of a person dressed in an inflatable pink unicorn costume. Three are holding rainbow bags and the one without the bag has a rainbow tie-dyed shirt. The music stage can be seen in the background.

Instead he ended USAID
Copy of posts about Elon Musk offering to end world hunger: Wolf840 “Does anyone else remember when Elon was like ‘if anyone knows how to end world hunger for 6 billion USD, I’ll fund it.’ and UNICEF was like ‘we’re going to spend a month to make a plan to end world hunger for 6 billion USD and Elon is going to fund it’ and Elon was like ‘actually nah’ and then bought Twitter instead? I think that was one of the worst things I’ll ever see in my life.” Tiredspacedragon “I still think that should be the thing for which he’s the most famous. It should be brought up every time he’s mentioned. In any news article, any interview, any history book. ‘Elon Musk who was offered a chance to end world hunger and turned it down’. Put it on his fucking gravestone“

Black and white photo of Secretariat running in the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs and ridden by Ron Turcotte. They have a huge lead ahead of the other horses and are about to win the race. Turcotte is looking back over his shoulder at the horses behind. They are on their way to winning the 1973 Triple Crown, the first time in 25 years since Citation won in 1948.

I voted! Well I’ve voted LOTS of times - this one has big rage energy for myself, my kids, grandkids, and people I’ll never know.
A photo of the inside of our cabinet door with “Voting Matters”, “We Won’t Go Back”, and “Vote Like Your Rights Depend on It” bumper stickers, a Penzey Spices sticker, lots of “I Voted in Weld County” stickers, and a “Ditch Mitch” DSCC sticker.

Looking forward to a smarter future where I don’t get hassled to contribute RIGHT AFTER I DID.
A screenshot of two email headers: One thanking me for my continuing contribution to Harris and one 28 minutes later from the Democratic Party telling me time is running out to donate and that they haven’t heard from me.

Nice photos! It’s a hawk day today I guess. This one grabbed a rabbit. Maybe a Cooper’s hawk?

Lovely sight on the way back from the store yesterday. Love Colorado.
Black and white photo of two bald eagles. One is sitting on a power pole facing right. A second has just taken off from the same pole and has its wings open. There are four power wires crossing the photo from upper right to lower left.
