I've tried to learn how to crochet so many times! I'm not sure why, but I cannot get the hang of it.
I'm envious of those who can and the beautiful things that they make.🩷

Left out of the KY GOP state budget:
• Teacher pay raises
• School bus funding
• Pre-school funding

But it DOES have:
• Education funding freezes
• Health insurance premium hikes for state workers
• Lawmaker pay raises

Wow — “The Kentucky Supreme Court struck down a law Thursday that would have allowed public funding to go to charter schools.”

Very different story here in Tennessee, where @GovBillLee and the privatizers attack public schools daily.

When we see a stranger and their eyes meet ours, let our face greet them as a fondly remembered friend. If inclined, we will discover this is indeed true.

The cover of the graphic novel "Maus" by Art Spiegelman. It depicts an illustration of two mice one older, one younger. They are crouching in front of a swastika that has a cat's head in the center. The cat's head is drawn to look similar to Hitler.

Today is Art Spiegelman's Birthday! 🎂

This is tragic.

You may be missing out on a culinary adventure...
Probably for the best, though. Never trust a rat who knows how to weld a knife.

Awesome! TYVM🙂

Wow, this is infuriating.😡

S.O.S.

I'm going to check out those other books, too. Thanks for the post!

I read Alex's Good Fortune every year to my PreK class!

Hell yeah we do!

Ugh.
I hate that.

As someone who is going through their own mental health struggle, I appreciate your work in a way I wouldn't have otherwise.

The sea otter... I ❤️ that.

I feel this.

The painting shows a solitary, hooded figure standing upright against a dark, softly glowing background. The figure wears a dark hoodie with the hood pulled low, hiding their face entirely in shadow, so no facial features are visible. Around their head is a faint circular halo-like glow, subtle and warm, separating the figure from the darkness behind them. The overall color palette is muted with gentle highlights that give the figure a quiet, grounded presence rather than sharp contrast. At the center of the figure’s chest is a heart shape outlined on the hoodie, stitched or traced with small points of light that resemble stars connected like a constellation. The figure’s left hand appears to hold part of this glowing thread or constellation, while the right hand lifts a small object—possibly a pin, needle, or spark—suggesting the act of mending, mapping, or carefully shaping something fragile. The pose feels inward and focused, as if the person is tending to their own heart with patience and care. The figure wears dark pants and sturdy boots, painted with soft highlights that suggest worn leather and weight on the ground. The background remains intentionally indistinct, like fog or night, drawing attention inward rather than outward. Overall, the painting conveys a sense of quiet resilience, introspection, and self-repair—someone standing alone, anonymous but steady, gently working on their inner world rather than performing for others.

This is my first finished painting of the year. Please excuse the yellow border. I took the photo before removing the tape.
I’m also not great at photographing my work, but I wanted to share it anyway.

This piece means a lot to me.

Have a peaceful Sunday.🤍
