My panther did not behave himself, but the groomer managed a mani pedi anyway.

The #Holocaust was the first widely photographed mass atrocity. The #LastSeen project is collecting images of Nazi deportations, often the last photos memorializing victims before their deaths. (Wolf Gruner @dornsife.usc.edu) 🗃️ #YomHashoah #NeverForget buff.ly/ez49ghC

Who else AGREES with David?! 🤚 One. Of. The. Good. Guys. 😎✨

Most of my life, I've struggled w/ homophobia. It ended when friends came out of the closet. The religious brainwashing & insecurity never really goes completely away, but I love my LGBTQ friends & colleagues, I'll never censor books. Either we ALL count, or no one does. www.slj.com/story/from-t...

A young Brit who was held "in horrendous conditions" in the US for three weeks amid Donald Trump's savage border crackdown has today warned others not to visit the nation.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 Strong! Not. A. Single. One. ✨

It's 🌨 like crazy and I have a bad 🥶. At least it's not COVID. But Henry and I are not going to be able to wear our fancy Easter bonnets and frilly dresses tomorrow 😢

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

Imagine if Democratic lawmakers went and took photos of themselves in front of the insurrectionists in their prison cells. Except there had been no trials, and those people were being tortured and huddled together like animals at a slaughterhouse.

Overseas pressure groups targeting civil society in the UK is something that urgently needs more scrutiny. The National Trust has frequently been campaigned against via a group whose directors and funders are thousands of miles away. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

Remember that love is a gift of the Divine, not simply a human emotion. As imperfect human beings we are not always able to feel loving toward one another, but by opening ourselves to the Light Within, we can receive and give love beyond our human capacity. — New England Yearly Meeting #15

The unlawful arrest and deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a legal tragedy, a human tragedy and a moral outrage. Stand up and speak out now.

"After the revolution or whatever it takes to wake up from America’s autocratic nightmare, will these cogs in a gulag machine fall back on the canard that they were “just following orders”?"

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

I'm waiting to hear from #StephenKing about the Maine State Library fiasco.

When American citizens have to worry about returning to their own country from travel abroad, you ain’t living in a free republic.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

You just know that beneath some of this Harvard nonsense, the golfer and his little henchman are just mad they didn’t go to Harvard.

At a GOP town hall last night, heckling from constituents was apparently too much to handle—so they used police force and even stun guns on their own constituents. What are they so afraid of? Someone disagreeing with their views?

Happy as a clam? A clam? You mean those little things with no brain that just chill on the bottom of the ocean all day in their own little private shells and nevermind I get it now

Sewing can help get you through the recession/apocalypse. Repocolypse?? I love to sew, refashion, DIY & upcycle. My latest project was so fast and easy, anyone can do it. It made such a fun colorful pillow cover too. More details on my blog. #pillow #sewing #diy #upcycled #ICanWorkWithThat

Cat fang marks in my book. Nothing is safe from Henry.

I guess people are just too fragile to not read a book that upsets them and put it down. Grow up. Librarians in UK increasingly asked to remove books, as influence of US pressure groups spreads www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

Some people get bent out of shape about the “gender” of stuff for kids. Today I was told that Peter Rabbit is “too feminine” for a 5y.o. boy. I pointed out that Peter Rabbit is, himself, a boy. I’m sorry he’s not driving a tank or going to war or chewing tobacco like the real MANLY bunnies do! 🥲

I’m loving Chinese manufacturers airing luxury brand’s dirty laundry on TikTok. [Source: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjRMTmyP/ ]

Caturday with Sir Henry.

It struck me today that Laura Loomer is in every way the Red Woman from Game of Thrones.

We had the privilege of hosting a Q&A with Jordan Campbell, director of "Ukraine Under Fire", following the film’s screening on March 28th. Presented in conjunction with our exhibition, "Amidst Cries from the Rubble: Art of Loss and Resilience from Ukraine".

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Being a librarian was already hard. Then came the Trump administration https://twp.ai/4imKMk

I'm trying to get Henry on camera playing with the door jam. Come on Henry. Let's get Tiktok famous.

Heard Island Hands Off protest

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

New York Fucking City. A full mile of people filled to the brim. Fascism is going to lose.

Newsflash, he doesn't give a shit about you or me.

Demonstrators gathered across the U.S. on Saturday for a day of protest against President Trump and his policies. Read more: nyti.ms/3Ebi0oi
