I love this stamp depicting the legend of the island of Sa Dragonera off Mallorca, named because it resembles a sleeping dragon.

Company announced it divested its commercial sector to focus on its public sector. After the announcement, I was laid off. Reason: Strategic Business Decision. I guess they thought they would tell me now so it won't ruin my weekend? #laidoff #jobseeking #strategicbusinessdecision

I see comments comparing our current situation to Nazi Germany, and I don't believe we're quite there. Then I read @reportbywilson.bsky.social and think, " Fuuuck. We're inching closer and closer." Am I overreacting? In any case, I'm nervous about the next six months. #scared #nervous #solongusa

This is a beautiful memorial, reimagining Guernica, to the eight International Brigaders from Stockton-on-Tees and Thornaby, NE England, who fought against Franco in Spain.

I'm late on this, but I've been thinking about it. My understanding of having a military force is to defend our country's and allies' interests and safety and defeat nations that threaten us and our allies. Is Hegseth's sole purpose of "improving lethality" to kill, even if it's an illegal order?

I keep seeing posts that karma will catch up to Musk, but will it? We said this about Trump, but in 11 days, he'll become president again, causing more trouble for the country while he and his cronies reap all the rewards. So, it's doubtful that karma will catch up with Musk.

SoCal friends: Many animal shelters are overwhelmed from people dropping off beloved pets they can't take with them as they flee. Please consider donating and fostering. Pasadena Humane is one such org. Contact your local animal orgs to see if they need help. pasadenahumane.org/eaton-canyon...

For 2025, I am minimizing my streaming habit. I've watched a lot of films, TV series, and documentaries since the start of the pandemic and now I'm moving on to reading the several books I started to read and lost interest because passive viewing was easier. That being said...

It’s a three steps forward and five steps back, putting me in the not accomplishing anything topped with frustration and tears category.

I've been rewatching @kenlburns.bsky.social's PBS documentary The Roosevelts. While both made questionable policy decisions, I still think they were our best leaders.

Let's see how long it takes when the bickering starts and Elon wants a refund on his investment. I give it until March when the insults are hurled back and forth.
