Close-up of two small yellow flowers in an unkempt yard.

These may be weeds, but they bloom then little else does.

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

Political cartoon showing a line of dominos. The first one is labeled Trans Rights and has a blue-pink-white trans flag painted on it and is tilting. Three people (representing a trans man, trans woman, and person wearing rainbow colors) are pushing back to keep it from falling. Behind it the second domino is labeled "Gay Rights" and "Freedom of Expression" and has a couple, one member of who is pulling the other from behind the domino and walking towards the first domino. The 3rd one "Women's Rights" and "Free Love", a woman is pointing and shouting to rally others behind the domino to come forwards, the 4th one " Free Speech" and "Democracy" and has people peering out from behind it as well as two people running forwards with a piece of lumber, the 5th one "Freedom of Religion" and "Modernity", and has a few people nervously peeking out from behind it, the 6th one is "Literacy". Dominos 7-10 are unlabeled and faded out in the background. Text on bottom: "United we stand, Divided we fall"

United we stand, divided we fall.

The black and white checked floor is tracked with small, muddy paw prints. A small, fluffy, white and tan puppy with floppy ears sits in the foreground; looking up at the camera through whispy bangs.

She swears she's innocent.

morning vibe

The judgement in those orange eyes...

Two iridescent green flies mating on a gray cedar deck railing.

These two were all, "What are you looking at?"
