Local text group I’m in shared this photo of the sun. Someone replied “forbidden yolk”

A weirdly yellowish sky and a deeply orange sun framed by trees

My mom took this picture of Sammy and my aunt’s dog, Lenny, today and I all I can see is this

Lenny, a small dog that might be part bichon frise, sniffs the side of Sammy’s face. Sammy is a corgi and she appears to be subtly leaning away from Lenny.

I had food

Sammy really did not want to leave this cat behind. (She kept circling and sitting back down when I tried to get her to walk)

A corgi sitting on the sidewalk, looking over her shoulder with a goofy grin. Behind her, a striped cat sits like a little loaf on a building stoop.

I just got one from John

Text from an unknown number that says “Hey, it's John. Curious about your thoughts on the US and Israel's efforts to negotiate peace with Iran. Can we chat? Stop2End”

Just an excuse to post this tweet (I loved Widow’s Bay! Hope you enjoy)

Tweet from Emily St. James: “Gender isn't binary, except for the two (2) shows about soccer. The boy show (Ted Lasso) is about what happens when boys play soccer (crying), and the girl show (Yellowjackets) is about what happens when girls play soccer (murder). Both shows are accurate.”

I saw one in the wild

A public statue where the bust of a man now has a traffic cone on his head, as seen through some ornamental grass. This is apparently a Tartan Army/Scotland thing that they have brought to Boston for the World Cup

I grew up right in the middle of these three cities…

“Your Map

See the pattern of your dialect in the map below. Three of the most similar cities are shown.”

New England is the most similar, with Boston, Worcester, and Providence highlighted

She’s a very good girl

My bulk pressing technique was haphazard (some on the edges weren’t actually fully flattened and some of the ones in the middle turned yellow I think from not drying out enough) but here’s the overall bunch from last week. 115 four leaf clovers and 18 five leaf clovers found in the SW Corridor in JP

A lot of flattened clovers on a kitchen island countertop. About 5-10 are yellowed.

Timeline did a thing

Two posts on a Bluesky Feed. The first is a comic of an angel looking down from heaven saying “I’ve never gotten this many prayers for torrential rain before” from The Web Optimist. It’s followed by Linda’s post “DC weather doing that thing where it’s relatively normal and then suddenly raining very very very hard.”

The one time I took Sammy in a backpack (had to get her home post-surgery during lockdown sans car). If she wasn’t such an enormous corgi I might’ve kept it up because I think she liked being tall(er).

Could also go in more of a Cell Block Tango direction

Stage set for The Cell Block Tango from Chicago, which uses scaffolding to imply jail cells.

Just imagine some newsies in there

The scaffolding in front of the Kennedy Center where they’re supposedly going to take Trump’s name down in the next 9 minutes.

Jessi Murray@jessimurray· Jun 13

Oh wait, I figured it out. They’re gonna do Newsies at midnight

Sammy usually doesn’t stay home all day by herself when I go into the office, but she had to today (two different events where I was a presenter/panelist!) and she was a trooper. Thank you for your contributions to advancing civic tech, Sammy.

These guys went up I think over the weekend. This is at Forest Hills.

It turns out pressing this many clovers (so the leaves are positioned well, etc) is time-consuming. I’ve pressed 60 four leaf clovers and 7 five leaf clovers so far and there are still this many left

A bowl with a bunch of four-leaf clovers in water. There are still quite a lot in there.

I couldn’t sleep last night, opened Facebook, and got this suggested post in my feed

Screenshot of Facebook at 4:22am. A post in a group named “I hate Stuart Little” says “Throwing Stuart Little into my mortar and pestle and grinding him into a fine paste.” The group has a follow link next to it.

I just found quite a few four-leaf clovers in the SW Corridor. (Last picture is all of them in some water as the ones I picked earliest were starting to droop/curl up a little. Rehydrating them a little before I position them to be flattened, but TBD final tally. I’m guessing about 120?)
