Once again I am calling for Democrats to introduce legislation requiring standardized uniforms, visible badge numbers with names, as well as a requirement for ICE and DHS agents to present proof that there is enough danger present to be masked to a judge when they get their warrant.

Snoot. #dogsofBlueSky #happydog

The only bonus to being up this early is being able to sit on my deck before the sun has turned it into an oven. It's a pretty big bonus.

My distant Jewish cousin called me "antisemitic racist garbage" on FB today, right after she implied that Palestinians were uncivilized and I called her out on it. Of course she deleted her bigoted comment before she unfriended me. Zionists, man. It's sad, but I'm glad she's gone.

This thread is *chef's kiss.* Hits all the relevant points.

The TACO thing is funny, but it's going to backfire. That man doesn't respond well to taunts.

#scrippsspellingbee ended on a wacky note. I haven't caught it in years and I forget how invested I get. Also having former spellers (who all must be neurodiverse) work the whole event and be commentators makes for a lot of awkward-yet-enjoyable TV moments.

Now and Then. Stumbled upon the photo of me and my first cat circa 1974. Mouse had no interest in recreating the image with me. Fluffy (who I'd intended to name Furful) was an awesome, tolerant cat.

I swear I can hear the SNL writers frantically typing up sketch pitches for this. None of them will be sleeping tonight.

If you live in Chicago and are considering pet adoption, now is a good time. So many people are being forced to surrender their pets due to economic conditions, and these animals are in danger of being put down.

Back in Illinois where it's 30-40 degrees colder than it was in Orlando. Thank goodness.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 72 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (& today a video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

I hear Molly Shah puts ketchup on hot dogs!

All the children at Orlando's airport are having a post-Disney meltdown.

Oh, and an enormous dragonfly landed on my hand for a few seconds of the kayaking adventure, thus making the day a little extra magical.

We saw zero herpes monkeys during 3 hours of kayaking, but we saw a whole slew of the invasive rhesus macaques on a short walk from the kayaking place to the main entrance.

Hubby and I spent our wedding anniversary kayaking in Silver Springs State Park and we saw 3 manatees! And I didn't succumb to heat exhaustion!

There are also a lot of places with big Trump signs and little Confederate flags. #Florida

We just drove past something called Ride For Jesus Cowboy Church. #Florida

Look at this passion fruit flower. It's so beautiful. #botany #flowers #naturephotography
