GEOGROUP. CORECIVIC.

☑️ call reps as often as i can & make clear-eyed connection from QUOTAS to lobbying/profit motivation of private prison industry
☑️ check mutual funds /investments for any
☑️ talk to strangers
☑️ find the others
☑️ make art
Screenshot that reads: • GEO Group: A major player in the private prison and detention center industry. GEO Group has invested significantly in increasing its capacity to house, monitor, and transport immigrant detainees. • CoreCivic: Another dominant force in private detention facilities, CoreCivic also contracts with state and local governments for jails and prisons.

I’m sad because after all that work on replacing the air filter housing mounts on my #w123 it’s still not meeting the drain pipe :(

I wonder if with all the travel it shook the drain pipe outta place… it’s got at least 1 inch of play on it…

Screenshot from the linked article with the two companies names highlighted in yellow. The Screengrab reads: “been since March, are handling most of the increase. The GEO Group owns or operates 28 immigrant detention facilities across the U.S., and its corporate PAC was the first to max out its donations to the Trump campaign in 2024, Citizens for Ethics reported last year. After Trump's victory last November, stocks soared for the GEO Group and another private prison operator, CoreCivic.”

To commemorate #caturday this morning, downstairs cat Isabel faces off with upstairs preteen kittens Mnarbl & Grígü, from her perch in the blooming pomegranate tree outside our window.

(We’re all still very much in the getting to sniff you phase)

#cats #cataofbluesky
View through our window of the pomegranate tree blooming with red flowers, and a tortoise shell mama cat named Isabel with her stunning light green eyes perched in the crook of some branches staring up at me. White window frame edge visible in foreground. Grigu the grey cat is perched inside at the window sill looking directly at the tortoise shell kitty Isabel perched inside a blooming pomengranate tree, and Grigu’s brother Mnarbl the black cat is perched on top of him looking at something else that’s caught his interest. Close up of Isabel the tortoise shell mama cat perched in the pomegranate tree. Red flowers are visible among the branches, and Isabel has one particularly long white whisker protruding from the right side of her cute little face which bears a look of “Don’t mess with me, kittens!!”

Please spread the world to your children.

P.S. to whoever is holding a megaphone: No need to scream ok? You have a megaphone.

P.P.S there are so many songs in the world — #musiciansky #choirsky #songwriters got anything new? down for a cowrite

Repost & add your local sexy flowers to the #bloomscroll orgy…
Orange flowers. I hope a botanist can offer a better alternative text description. Yellow flowers. I hope someone with better botanical vocabulary can offer a better alternative text description soon. A cluster of flowers with orange and yellow in the center and a purple fringe.

Our black kitty Mnarbl & our grey kitty Grígü are cuddling. Mnarbl has his right paw on Grigu as if he’s hugging him, and Grigu is licking Mnarbl’s left eye like a good little brother. The photo is taken from directly above, and the background was all cluttered with personal papers so I digitally scribbled white around the kittens to isolate just them and their infinite cuteness.

Woke up neurochemically low AF & wound up having such a great day and witnessing just how kind complete strangers can be to each other on more than one occasion.

My day also involved chicken interactions (Chickenteraction ?)

#healingisnonlinear #chickens #chickensky
The only picture I took all day is this one, of a lovely orange hen in a wooden coop standing on what appears to be straw bedding, at Urban Farm Oasis

Mnarbl & Grígü take such good care of eachother

Observing them do so has a positive effect on me

This makes me more likely to lick someone else on the face who needs it

Never underestimate the power of a small act of kindness

Kindness is regenerative

#catsky #kittensky #catsofbluesky
A black kitty cat named Mnarbl licks a grey kitty named Grígü. Grígü appears to be enjoying the bath: He has his eyes closed and is resting comfortably on top of Mnarbl. The setting is a cozy blanket scene where the kittens are hanging out… in the background a red curtain, a plant and some picture frames are visible.
