Grateful for my family, friends, general well being and ability to provide for these two beasts. I will never stop wishing for a world where we can all be so blessed.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍂
My two cats Coco (dark) and Charlie (yellow).

If you know, you know. If not, see the alt text.

I can't believe it's been 50 years, and the story, along with the Gordon Lightfoot song I learned about it from, still bring me to tears.

Didn't think I'd be doing my final veggie harvest on November 1st, but I thought I'd pluck my still green ones before the freeze. Hopefully, they'll ripen indoors.

My two gardening assistants inspected my catch for freshness.

HEY BROOKE, IF IT'S NOT A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN ISSUE, MAYBE YOU SHOULD REMOVE THIS BLATANTLY PARTISAN, OUGHT TO BE ILLEGAL, BULLSHIT MESSAGE ON THE USDA "OFFICIAL" WEBSITE.

NOT ONLY HAS YOUR AGENCY NOT REMOVED THIS, THEY HAD THE NERVE TO UPDATE IT.
Text from USDA website: "Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance." Message from USDA website: "Senate Democrats have now voted 13 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats.

My favorite Greek proverb, and I think it's especially appropriate for the troubling times we're living in.

Greek proverb: 'A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit.

Message on USDA website as of this posting. This partisan bullshit has absolutely no place on an "official website of the United States government". 😡

Ag Sec. Brooke Rollins and whatever underlings are responsible for this misuse of government resources need to be fired.

Here's the real telling graphic...

Every New York member of Congress except for two are on the AIPAC payroll. Just AOC and Nydia Velasquez.

You all remember when our government paid artists to make cool Antifa posters to encourage Americans to help fund the cause?
American WW2 propaganda poster titled 'Don't Let That Shadow Touch Them' encouraging Americans to buy war bonds. It shows three children frightfully trying to avoid the shadow of a Nazi swastika.

If you want to symbolize his legacy, I think this one is more historically accurate.
Trump coin with 'Treason' where normal coins say 'Liberty' on the front. 'In Ego we Trust' is in place of 'In God We Trust'.

Let me explain to your complaintants in a language they might understand.

I can hear them saying, "You mean outside? What if my phone gets dirty? EWWW!" already.
Someone touching grass, which is something you need to do if you're getting hostile about a Bluesky account where someone posts OLD pictures with cats on them. Yes, the universe got along just fine before you and all that whizbang technology you're so keen to came along and allowed to to conquer the world without getting your ass out of bed.

Let's put these side by side to see how far we've fallen shall we?

And honestly, the contrast couldn't be more complete. 🫣
