I can't compose in cafes, but they're my favorite place to revise/edit. The white noise really helps me focus. It's fascinating how we all do this differently.

Those comments typify so much of the ignorance in this state--zero knowledge of history and a profound lack of empathy/kindness. Yet they all claim to be Christians πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

What a haunting, beautiful essay. Were I still teaching, this piece would go in my "here's how it's done" folder.

Omg, are "new heights" like concepts of a plan? What pathetic interview non-answers.

This looks like mine. Plastic tines, not metal ones that can tear a coat (no furminators!) I've tried all kinds of things to remove burrs, and this brush is the most gentle & effective.

A dog coat rake or comb is best for those. (Collie owner who lives in a burr patch) πŸ˜‚
