I love the concept in native culture of two spirit people. I love so much of what I have learned from my indigenous friends and experiences in native communities. Too many to list.

A day late, but still an important message. Columbus Day shouldn't be recognized at all.

Maybe they infused him with gecko DNA. They can regrow their tails. Maybe the TV Show “V” from the 1980’s is real.

Right because people in inflatable costumes pose risks to ICE.

That’s about $2600 per person. And you might think that’s not a lot why didn’t they pay it? Over 50% of Americans do not have $400 in savings. 50% of Americans make so little money they don’t pay income taxes.

Neither should other basic utilities like water, power, etc.

I actually have a small section that was actually black. I spent 4 days in the ICU, 2 surgeries. My doctor is amazing. He’s ex military surgeon. He spent a couple years in the field patching up kids who stepped on IEDs in Afghanistan. No celiac here.

Not really. Are we horrified by Turkey, Hungary, Belarus, Poland, ??. I have seen no evidence of America even registering political oppression in other countries on their radars at all. We remain willfully ignorant of life, good/bad, in the rest of the world. We can’t be bothered.

The National Anthem is sung to a British drinking song. "To Anacreon in Heaven", was the official song of the Anacreontic Society, an 18th-century gentlemen's club of amateur musicians in London. Composed by John Stafford Smith.

Looks like an angry bushtit.

I am hoping it’s the Mariners and Brewers. I live in Seattle and they have never won the World Series. Neither have the Brewers and…. Little known fact, the Seattle Pilots became the Brewers. The Pilots played one season in 1969. The team was then moved to Milwaukee.

Poppy is tolerating the bath from Panzer to get the bath soap smell off. My dogs find the stinkiest pile of laundry and rugs to rub themselves on after a bath.

Are you surprised?!? 25% of our military is dependent on food stamps! We have $1 trillion budget for the military and none of it goes towards the actual soldiers. It’s for shiny toys and things that blow up. Not actual soldiers and their families.

I wish I could say Medicare was better. Medicare covers 80%, I had bowel obstruction surgery in Sept 2024 which amounted to $175k. That’s $35k if I was 65. Gap insurance takes the decision making process about your care out of Medicare’s hands. Our health system is completely a mess.

And they will get hired by some pharmaceutical company and this is the further privatization of our healthcare system. You thought Big Pharma was bad before… wait until all the research is yanked from our universities & is done by corporations. Cost will be astronomically
