Mashable has just published this note from Pete Cashmore regarding layoffs and reorganization >> https://t.co/B7VPHMlGOw

From @petercashmore’s (apt last name?) memo to staff:
“I must also share the news that Jim Roberts will be moving on from the
company. Jim has been instrumental in building Mashable into a truly
global media brand. He has built an editorial team that stands for
trust, credibility and accuracy, allowing us to compete with some of
the world’s most established media companies. He is an incredible
leader and mentor who has inspired us all to reach new heights. It has
been an honor to build this brand together.”

Truthfully, I’m cropping out the flowers and printing that … and if I liked red anywhere in my house, I think I’d have this entire image turned into a door-sized mural for the end of my hallway or something.
I want to remind everyone of this still active - as far as I can tell - House GOP suit against the Executive Branch …
Judge Rules House Can Sue Obama Administration on Health Care Spending

It was in that context that I tweeted ….
Dear @POTUS@SenateMajLdr continues to harm the American People.
Can the Executive Office take legal action to stop him?#SCOTUSnominee

What the Senate GOP are doing is a far more egregious violation of the Constitution than what House GOP alleges the Executive Branch is doing in striving to provide health care to millions of Americans.
Moreover, every American is harmed when we have a 4-4 SCOTUS for a bunch of reasons not least of which are the costs to tax payers of litigation that results in a 4-4 tie in SCOTUS, reverts to whatever the decision of a lower court happens to be and remains volatile until that issue can be re-litigated before a full bench.
Will be interested to listen to President Obama’s speech on the topic though it’ll probably be late tonight or this weekend before I have the opportunity to do so.
Students at Burke County Middle School enjoy fresh produce straight from their schoolyard garden. This Farm to School Program has doubled student consumption rates of fruits and vegetables. And there is even a Burke County cookbook in the works! The students are incorporating food they harvest into easy recipes that can be recreated at home. #LetsMove

"The First Lady is keenly aware of our excellent school nutrition program.�? Our School Nutrition Director, Mrs. Donna Martin has spent time with Mrs. Michelle Obama in the White House discussing the new school nutrition initiatives and the positive impact they are having on our Burke County stakeholders. �?Mrs. Obama has launched her American Garden Tour, and on this leg of her tour, she will learn more about Burke County School’s Farm to School program that provides farm-fresh produce to our students daily.

First Lady Michelle Obama hugs a student after helping plant a garden at Burke County Middle School. The middle school was a stop in the First Lady's American Garden Tour, the goal of which was to highlight the impact and benefits of diverse gardens across the country. #firstlady #michelleobama #flotus #schoolgarden

Hey, Now TOD😉 Good Afternoon.
Congrats to all the Gold⭐ winners, starting with this Fine post and 3 posts back.
Cute Pup, Amk.
Hope all is Well with {{{{❤ Mom❤ Chips }}}}
This is the world we live in. It spends far too much time and effort demeaning Black girls, even inadvertently. We are constantly told that we’re not enough or worth protecting or celebrating. This is why BLACK GIRLS ROCK, created by Beverly Bond, is doing priceless work.
People get all butthurt about us celebrating ourselves. I wrote about that earlier this year too. The hateration in Black girls’ dancery is so real outchea, yo. So this show is one that I do not miss watching every year.
Every broadcast of Black Girls Rock has me feeling full and proud to see women who are standing in their purpose and being bold without constraints. The quotables are plenty and the entire thing is one long highlight.
Tracee Ellis Ross was back as host for the 2016 Black Girls Rock! show, and she kicked it off in a red catsuit. She did a tribute to a bunch of musicians, including a piece to her mom, Diana Ross. She threw on a wig and glided across the stage and I howled. Tracee is super underrated as a comedian. The lady is hilarious. She also rocked a hat in tribute to Queen Latifah, doing U-N-I-T-Y. She got in Formation for Beyonce too.
Thanks NW. Wonderful indeed!!
Awesome!
You’re welcome, COS.
Thanks NW.

Wow! Is this a photo or a painting?
Truthfully, I’m cropping out the flowers and printing that … and if I liked red anywhere in my house, I think I’d have this entire image turned into a door-sized mural for the end of my hallway or something.
Ha. Too much? ❤
Jacqueline, I would love you even more if you made one for me too. I could hang it in the archway leading into my bedroom.❤
I can picture it - in both of our homes!
