At least we are saving the bees. Ou zinnias are poppin' this year!

Photo: Close up of big zinnia: bright hot pink with yellow center - and a bee having a delicious snack of bright yellow pollen from the center. The rest of the frame is all kinds of green with a few faint pops of color from other zinnias in the background.

What I did while waiting for Spain to score. These have been waiting months to see the light of day. Pressed flowers are so groovy. Now I’ve got to give them a second life in a worthy design.

Photo: a pressed flower work table (that’s also a ping pong table but show me a better work surface) several sheets of flower paper are covered in a huge variety of leaves and flowers - they just came out of the press. Poppies, geraniums, etc. Greens, reds, purples, pinks, yellows.

To look extra cute in photos all you have to do is wrap your double plush front paws in front of you like this. #Caturday #CatsOfBlueSky #CowCat #Cute #Cats

Photo: Extra double plush silky cute medium-ish haired pink-nosed white and black cow cat lounges on her living room rug - looking off to the side to show off her cool bandit markings around her eyes. Her front paws are preciously tucked in to her chest.

So many GenXers in Michigan are having a collective flashback to working Band or Athletic Boosters Bingo right now.

Look! My zinnias are starting to pop! It's a real apocalyptic diarrhea summer win.

What a cuuuuuuutie!! 🥰 No one can resist the power of the cow cat. Here's Cindy Clawpurrrr:

A cow cat's guide to beating the Michigan heat. #CatsOfBlueSky #HedgeWatch

Photo: Outdoors, a silky plush medium-ish haired pink-nosed, white and black cow cat is stretched out under a messy canopy of lily leaves. The sun is high and hot, the grass looks thirsty. She's finding her shade spot and she's mostly obscured by the foliage.

I don't have the heart to tell her she needs to cook that thing to 158degrees. #CatsOfBlueSky #SupermodelCat #CowCat #Cats #PetsOfBluesky

Come on NYTimes, did the Great American State Fair really close for several hours or was it just the everyday low attendance?

Screenshot of New York Times headline: How the Heat Is Upending Plans for America’s 250th Birthday
A parade in Philadelphia, one of the largest in its history, was canceled on Friday, and the Great American State Fair on the National Mall in Washington closed for several hours.

Cat bod. 10/10. #boadacious #CatsOfBlueSky #CowCat #PetsOfBlueSky #hedgewatch

Photo: A plush lucious medium-ish haired white and black cowcat is totally sprawled or splayed out on her (yes hers - the humans just hang around to provide treats) hedgewatch deck. Her back legs are fully stretched and her front paws are twisted to the front. You can only see the back of her head - her ears say "oh there's action afoot across the lawn", her back bod says "I'm chillin".

Haven't posted her in awhile but she insists cow cats are having their moment with the World Cup and all. So here's Cindy Clawpurrr asking me if she's getting the soccer ball pose right. #CatsOfBlueSky #CowCat #Cat #Cuteness #PetsOfBlueSky

Photo: Precious silky plush medium-ish haired, pink-nosed white and black cow cat lounging on her favorite cream-colored fluffy blanket. She's curled up on her side and looks to be attempting to go full curl into a ball but the look on her face, gold-green eyes open while her head is upside-down, she's giving a bit "is this how you do it?"

Sometimes you pull a pear out of the bag and it still has a single leaf on it and that may be the high point of your day.

Close up photo of a hand holding a greenish-yellow spotted pear - there's a single small leaf still hanging from the stem.

Just precious!! I've got a cow cat that always helps with outdoor chores too :)

Yes. We all should move to X where it is more balanced and the right-wing influence grew organically from all the leftists leaving the platform.

Info graphic showing stats from 2024. data shows that Elon Musk's online reach is significantly higher than that of all US Congress members combined on the platform X.@elonmusk: The @elonmusk account garnered 127.6 billion views during the period from July through November 2024. All of Congress: The combined posts from all members of Congress received 7.1 billion views during the same period.

Have you all seen this? "Your Name In Landsat". Write your name with NASA satellite images. My S is from N'Djamena, Chad, the e from Bellona Plateau. science.nasa.gov/specials/you...

Screenshot of sarakaye "written" in individual letters formed in landsat images. Each letter is from a different area on earth and formed from water, trees, rocks, etc. Very cool.

Totally forgot that I'd installed the Cat Gatekeeper browser extension - I was on BlueSky when this handsome chonk rolled up on my screen and sat down. Wish I had this extension on everything. We all could use a cat break from time to time. Imagine him rolling up across a press conference.

Screenshot: browser with bluesky account open - about 85% covered with a large rectangular digital clock with white letters and a black background and a super chunky chonkster orange tabby cat lounging across the screen. He's like "that's enough scrolling, take five"

Here's mine leading a meeting about boosting the snack options in the house.

Oh hey did you know there’s a YA book about labor history? Get it to the YAs in your life and tell em to ask their history teacher why, in a room full of future workers, are they not teaching labor history alongside conquerer history?
