Too much to tell, you wouldn’t believe it anyway. Only way to find anything out about me is to hang out together for quite awhile. I’m more interested than interesting. #Postie #Post

This is an incredible speech, which every American should hear. I had it pinned but somehow it was deleted, not by me.

How the government shutdown is making the air traffic controller shortage worse and leading to flight delays

Air traffic controllers are considered essential workers and required to work without pay during the shutdown, but there are reports some are calling in sick in greater numbers than usual.

ICE using lethal force against these "terrorists" would surely make president Trump look as a "strong guy who protects America from the enemies within aswell as from enemies from the outside!"

Let's dance more with ICE – we're going to take down Trump's Walls the same way as they did with Jericho!

Outside of Portland's ICE facility last night, Kenny from South Park got married to a unicorn.

The betrothed Portland couple said they decided to get hitched on site to bring some joy and fun to a dark time.

"People can be fun loving people and still protest."

They found a way that all news stations would show this fantasy animal protest against people that look mean and evil. It is genius. 🤩

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

You really do have exceptionally good neighbors! 😊⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks for sharing your photos, I didn’t know you changed the date but seems it was the perfect choice! You definitely have created a lovely setting for outdoor entertaining, and the menu looks fantastic. Can’t wait to see the behind the scenes report!

It’s currently 46F and raining, so I’m glad the party was yesterday! I’ll write up a Sunday Post about it for next week, just in case folks like to see party work behind the scenes. But since a few of you wanted to NOW about how it went, here are a few photos of the setup before neighbors arrived.

A ‘make your own taco’ bar — with a line of slow cookers on long tables, holding tortillas, pulled chicken, pulled smoked pork, roasted pork belly, spicy black beans (vegan) and milder pinto beans (vegan). At the far end is a table of taco condiments such as slaw, queso fresco, lime wedges, green and red salsa, chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, jalapeño rings, grated cheese, and squeeze bottles of Mexican créma.

A table full of easy snacks in the background — popcorn, potato chips (‘Ruffles have ridges’) Pirate cheese puffs, and Lindt chocolates. In the foreground is a basket of three types of drop cookies, and a platter of bar cookies.

A tree-well filled with ice, local (and Mexican) beer, hard cider, seltzers (both and soft), sodas, non-alcohol beer — a cooler full of bottled water and sparkling water to the side.

A table with various red wines and glasses on a long table backed by a hedge. Funky Fall tablecloths, and at the far end, a copper tub full of iced sparkling wine and white wine.

If I change anything, like today when I put cracked corn & peanuts in the dish vs popcorn, they acted like it was a TRAP.
EXTREMELY skittish about anything new. So yeah, they’d notice if they were cheated or got a bad deal or bad treatment.
