House quashes Marjorie Taylor Greene motion to oust speaker Mike Johnson | Marjorie Taylor Greene | The Guardian

The House easily quashed Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resolution to oust the Republican speaker, Mike Johnson, on Wednesday, as members of both parties came together in a rare moment of bipartisanship to keep the chamber open for business.

The motion to table Greene’s resolution was 359 to 43, with 196 Republicans and 163 Democrats voting to kill the proposal.

Dog Lingo + Bau Trains His Dog Mom (a.k.a. Carol Balawyder) – Happiness Between Tails by da-AL

Photo of Bau's face, a fluffy white dog. Bau can’t speak english, so he blogs in it.

Every wish you had a pet who could talk? I’ll admit, sometimes I say I do, but I don’t really mean it. If K-D doggie could, I’d feel even worse when I deny her anything. Wordlessly, (she’s not a novelist like me) she makes herself plenty heard. Her messages fall into three categories: eating, playing, and walking. When she licks her lips and stares at my food, it’s her polite way of asking, “You need help finishing that?” A toy dropped at my feet conveys, “Time to play.” A tail wag when I put on my coat to go out translates to, “Take me with you,” followed by sad eyes that arrow straight into my heart when I have to leave her home.

Carol Balayder’s dog, Bau, goes the distance. Carol’s his scribe. A writer from Montreal, Quebec, she went from teaching a variety of college courses to publishing novels and non-fiction

कवच / Shield  – Kaushal Kishore

 

कांटों की आड़ में 

कभी कभी फूल भी 

शरारत कर बैठते हैं, 

लेकिन माफ है 

उनकी गुस्ताखी, 

सुंदरता एक कवच है…

🛡️ 🛡️ 🛡️ 🛡️ 🛡️ 🛡️

Sometimes even flowers 

do mischief 

under the cover of thorns, 

but their audacity 

is forgiven, 

beauty acts as their shield…
