This is Bitsy aka Kittie-gurl who left us in 2023. She is watching BirdFeeder TV, her favorite show.

Post a bird to support @sbworkersunited.org and warn your followers: NO STARBUCKS for the duration of the strike. (No idea what birds have to do with it, but I'm down.)
A slightly pissed off yellow duckling saying Dear Autocorrect. It's never duck. It's NEVER duck. The second never is in all caps.

What surprised me was that they did in the first place. They told us explicitly what they wanted —

There should be a button on the keyboard called "head slap" and when you push it, people like this get a smack, just like they deserve.
A phishing email that made it through my spam filter. Titled "Grow Up." Isabella Davis says, Hi. I noticed a few simple but powerful SEO tweaks that could help your website rank higher and bring in more traffic." This would, in fact, be a miracle on par with a virgin birth because I have never had a website.

Ha, ha suckers! I joined my FOURTH regional library today (and am really hoping it helps with some of my Libby backlog.)
The South Bend branch of the Timberland Regional Library. It is a rectangular, two story Carnegie (which some fool has covered in stucco and painted white.) It has a black roof and a bit of a grand stairway leading up to its doors which are flanked by two columns holding up a shallow portico.

True independence has apparently always requrired 5 acres.
The cover of "Five Acres and Independence" by M. G. Kains, first published during the Great Depression (the one in the 30's, not the one in 2009, you big babies.)

I can imagine it.
Pitcher Randy Johnson in the middle of a pitch in his Seattle Mariners uniform. He was 6' 10". This post would be funnier if I WAS Randy Johnson.

THEY NEVER ASK FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS
CW/NSFW: The two panel meme called Goose Chasing Guy. Panel 1 the goose asks, "What point was POTUS making?" and in panel 2, the goose is chasing the guy and shouting, "What point was he making, motherfucker!"

Every time I pull this little stool out from under the chair, Charlotte hops on it and poses for me until I get my phone and take her picture.
An 8 month old black standard poodle pup wearing a black collar stands with just her front paws on a small rectangular stool. Her head and tail are up and she seems to be wondering when you're going to take her picture already

They lied? Here is my shocked-by-that-news face.
A bald man in a red plaid shirt and black puffy vest is standing with a crowd. He has his fists on his hips and his expression might be described as disgusted by this turn of events which he mostly expected.

We can’t see the super moon yet – it’s above the horizon, but below the line of trees across from our house

PS I am such a nerd

To the female judge and two attorneys who bullied me on Twitter a decade ago for saying that over working without proper rest ends in poor results in law 🖕🖕🖕
The cover of a book called Rest, Why you get more done when you work less by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang. It is bright yellow and has a folding wooden beach chair on it.

I'm not taking medical advice from a man too stupid not to look directly at an eclipse.
Donald Trump from TruthSocial says: Pregnant Women, Don't use Tylenol unless absolutely necessary, Don't give Tylenol to your young child for virtually any reason, break up the MMR shot into three totally separate shots (not mixed?), take the chicken p shot separately, take hepatitas B shot at 12 years old, or older, and, importantly, take vaccine in 5 separate medical visits! President DJT. He has misspelled hepatitis and seems not to understand how to punctuate a sentence.

Home a way from home for the next 6 days
A path of short beach grass leads to an opening beyond which we can see a glimpse of the beach and the sea. The sun is setting and glows above the horizon in a pale blue sky.

In case you wondered what it's like to be married to someone for 24 years.
Text Messages: I said The modern record for runs scored in a game is 30 by Texas Rangers against Baltimore Orioles in 2007. The record is 36 but its from 1897 and the two teams don't even exist anymore. He said Cool. I like how baseball is so old you have to refer to modern stats. Then I said The old stuff probably contains notes about how many cows were removed from the field prior to the contest. He sent a smiling emoji and then said What do you want to do for dinner tonight? I mean it is two dozen -- which I think is the donut anniversary.

Saw this on the big screen when it was re-released in the 80's. My goodness, it was beautiful, terrifying, and so damn good.

Ma'am - - we do represent people during disputes, but this is not one of the services we provide.
The transcript of an obviously misheard voicemail message that reads: Caller: Hello, this is Hannah. I was just trying to see if you guys could possibly reprimand my daughter.

In conclusion, once a decade people go insane for some truly awful toy that everyone buys and then no one remembers why.

The prosecution rests, Your Honor.
A truly hideous Furby, the "it" toy of the late 90's. They were just a fur-covered plastic robot that rolled around and blinked its huge creepy eyes. This one is grety and pink with a yellow beak and eyelashes - as though eyelashes would help make it less revolting.

This disturbed me, so I sent it to my oldest who is a player and she sent me this. I feel better. Also, she’s offered to teach me to play.
A text message thread After a blue sky link, my daughter says oh no! Don’t worry. When a character dies in DND you’ll roll a new character and suddenly the party meets the twin/clone/child of the last character who is basically the same but with slightly different stats ha ha ha. And then I said so you cheat? I might like this game.
