Hands down my fave thing about hurricane season is when zoos put their birds in the bathroom to protect them from the wind and we get images like this

Not lazy, smart.

Why you tryin’ to set me up for failure, Ma? I know my strengths and this ain’t one of ‘em.

Same, but with quilting.

Can you see the boo-boo if the piece was on the side of a speeding bus?

Then it never happened.

Daily affirmation: no one is going to notice the small mistakes I made in my lace knitting project no one is going to notice the small mistakes I made in my lace knitting project no one

ID: three drawing of Mara Jade from the star wars expanded universe. She is portrayed as a Black woman, with midtoned skin and dark red curly hair. In the first drawing she is smiling and tilting her head slightly to one side, as though she is endeared by something off screen. Her hair is in a puff in the back, with curls visible from the front

In the second drawing she is in profile, looking at something to the side, she has a neutral expression and her hair is in locs .

The third and final drawing is the largest, it cuts off at her knees. She has a focused expression on her face and has her body turned to the side, as though she is turning away from the viewer, while her head is still in 3/4s view. She wears a black tank top, beige pants, and a belt with several layers, along with two white necklaces.

All three drawing are somewhat messy, with many halftones, cross hatching, and white outlines around each drawing.

END ID

Woah!? Mara Jade!

I have some news for members of the united states armed forces who feel like they are pawns in a political game and their assignments being unnecessary.

I need to speak on something that I thought was absolutely disgusting…

on the news a Florida “anti riot” cop stated to the public that they would and I quote verbatim “we will notify your families where to collect your remains because we will shoot you dead”

“if you spit on us we will send you to the hospital and then jail”

and

“we will have our beautiful police dogs bite you”

I find this absolutely disgusting, no official should speak in such a distasteful manner, they are bitching and moaning about people rioting meanwhile they’re fantasizing on live tv about killing people??? I don’t care what’s going no one should ever be that casual and excited about hurting people.

“Hello.  My name is Luke Skywalker.  You killed my father.  Prepare to die.”

“Never go up against a Mandalorian when death is on the line!” *immediately falls into Sarlacc pit*

“Bye, boys!  Have fun storming the Death Star!”

“Wampas Of Unusual Size?  I don’t think they exist.”

“Do you want me to send you back to where you were?  Unemployed, on Hoth?”

“It just so happens that Obi-Wan here is only mostly dead.”

PSA TO ALL READERS while wandering around a mall today I was ensnared by a powerful force that bade me enter a place called Barnes & Noble. in a daze I wandered the displays and was compelled to even pick up several books that this force attempted to foist upon me at great personal cost to myself. it was only through great strength of will that I was able to fight off this befouling force by withdrawing my cellular device from my pocket and logging into my library account to place requests for the same books at no cost that i was able to escape without grievous harm. truly it's crazy out there, stay safe and remember that libraries are always there to provide aid as you fight against such forces of darkness

"One of the first agencies Musk put in his crosshairs was the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a congressionally funded department that has returned over $200 billion to scam victims since it was created in 2011. He sent his goons from DOGE to infiltrate their systems in February, announced its budget would be returned to the Federal Reserve, emailed termination letters to 1,500 employees, and claimed to close the CFPB’s headquarters.

It turns out that all those actions were illegal—and not only that, Musk’s team knew it was illegal, but they thought they could bully the CFPB into submission anyway. And we now know this, thanks to the city of Baltimore.

Baltimore’s mayor and city council last Thursday voluntarily dismissed their lawsuit against Russell Vought, Musk’s DOGE co-head, who was appointed to run/close the CFPB, after Vought admitted to the court that his plan to shut down the agency was all talk. Despite all their public bluster, Vought and Musk knew they didn’t have the power to defund the agency or fire employees en masse because both funding and employees are required to fulfill the agency’s legally binding obligations—obligations that can only be taken away by an act of Congress.

“Defendants have repeatedly represented,” Baltimore’s lawyers pointed out in their dismissal filing, “that there is no mechanism by which Defendant Consumer Financial Protection Bureau can transfer away money from, or otherwise relinquish control over the money in, the Bureau Fund.”

Musk and Vought were well aware of their legal restrictions, but it wasn’t until DOGE was pressured by the courts that they admitted their impotency. This admission that they were powerless wouldn’t have come if Baltimore and labor unions representing federal employees hadn’t taken a stand."
