Retired from Post Secondary Education Management. Engineering and education degrees. Happy to see so many friends here and pleased to see new ones. I don't follow back those with zero posts. I block anyone who talks about crypto. Oh ya, and no DMs!

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

They got bot farms saying Stephen Miller is hot and charismatic. They’re doing White House roundtables on things that don’t exist. They’re releasing piles of dubious mugshots. They’re saying vibrant cities are boarded up and war torn. They think saying anything enough will make the truth irrelevant.

Thank heavens it's the weekend. I almost spontaneously combusted several times this week. Here's a luminous chrysanthemum to remind us that good things are always around the corner.

A red and yellow chrysanthemum looks like it's glowing next to shadowed cabbage-coloured leaves and a dark background.

🇪🇪🇷🇺Tensions are escalating even further on the Estonia–Russia border.

🔹️The so-called “little green men” have already appeared — they are clearly not border guards, have no identifiable markings or insignia, and most importantly, they are armed.

A tree with pink and yellow blossoms. In the background - blue sky, grass and light. Except for the tree's trunk, painted entirely with the bokeh brush in Procreate.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Screenshot from Farm Bureau article on farm bankruptcies. It shows farm bankruptcies climbing steadily 2014-2020, falling by half in 2021, & continuing to fall through 2023.

The whole garden in a drop.

Grass reflected inside a water drop. The water drop hangs from a stalk, and the background is forest green.

Book Dreams

Rosie the shiba inu has found a sunny spot in the workroom, along with an 1898 Toy Town rocking horse from Winchendon, Massachusetts.

A sunny spot in my workroom, and Rosie the red shiba inu has found it. She faces us, with her squinty little eyes. Behind her, a wall of bookshelves and a white dappled vintage rocking horse.
