Finding myself alone in a meeting room, I got up, opened a decorative book about Morocco (I'm reading a book which opens in Ceuta), and found this page.🍸😺 "Every Berber rug is the work of one woman who, after preparing her wool, creates the rug's design herself, spontaneously, as she weaves it. When a woman weaves a carpet, she does not do so only to fulfill a utilitarian purpose. Her rug is a like a graphic novel that will be read by other families, judged and honored. Her rugis her message."🍸😺

I saw that Kate Marvel had quit her job at NASA because all her climate research wss no longer funded. 🍸😿i thought it might make her feel better if i got her book and read it 🍸🐈 You do it, too🍸😺

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!🍸😺 but what if it's not used at all? Can you rip it out?🍸😹

413,793 KitKat candy bars may seem like a lot .... I do not want to say anything more🍸🙀

I did not take the Kitcat bars🍸😺

I'm just gonna say, I read Tracy Kidder's book "Soul of a New Machine", and there were a couple of places I worked at, after that, that were just like that🍸🐈 and it was really great🍸🐈

Sawhorses atop a scaffold.🍸😺 why aren't these guys doing software development?🍸😹

Oops I forgot to do an alt-text for that chart. I will do it later on🍸😿

my kittybuddy🍸Chat helped me make this chart 🍸😸 I was inspired to work on it by a post awhile back by @Strandjunker@mstdn.social. (I am hoping we get some good charts about Trump’s being mentioned in the Epstein files, I understand there may be more than thirty-eight thousand data points! That would make a great timeline)🍸🙀

I am having the best time reading Human Nature by @drKateMarvel although it is sad because she loves California so much and she is in NYC. But NYC is great too. If I could listen to a recording of the A train announcer as you ride back from surfing at Rockaway Beach, I would do it. 🍸😺 But wait I digress! The book is about climate change and I am learning so much! Also Dr. Kate had to quit NASA because they cancelled all her programs. Make her feel better and get this book and read it!🍸🐈
