I swear at some point I will do a thread of how awesome the Lego botanical sets are, but in the meantime, a new bouquet arrived in the mail. Here is a photo of the previous bouquet.

I have been making it a point to write a little each night since losing my job and boy this is a lot easier to do when you aren't insane from a job that super stresses you out that has you working overtime.

Ilhan Omar has more courage in her little pinky than the entire Democratic Party leadership has. And the party has repeatedly thrown her to the wolves over the years because she speaks the truth.
And who was around her caring for her after this attack? BLACK WOMEN. So protect them all.

Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

I've seen multiple accounts I follow, share this video, and let's start with some facts as I have friends and family in the Twin Cities.
