Mom texts like she's the president in a disaster movie and I'm the only staffer who knows how to find the retired fighter pilot who can destroy the alien mothership

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Today, instead of my usual posts, I will simply say that I STILL have a dream. There'll be plenty of nightmares for the next four years, and yes I pay attention to the bad news, but I will also not stop posting about the positive... as it nourishes the dream. #BeyondTheObituaries

This morning my dad noticed a ton of tracks through the snow that weren't there yesterday.

He went and checked the game cam in the swamp.

He pulls out his phone to show me the pictures

"Look, they're kissing," he says

"No, Dad, they're fighting...."

He looks again

"Oohh.."
Black and white game cam pic of a blurry 3 point stag at nighttime, at least 2 other deer visible behind him A black and white game cam shot of a nighttime scene, one stag's foreleg is a blur of motion where he is clearly kicking at the other stag behind him. The second stag's head is a tilted back blur of motion. While their heads may be aligned from this perspective there is nothing to suggest they are smooching

Tonight's movie selection is "The Muppet Christmas Carol" (1992). Can't resist Gonzo and Rizzo, but it's the score by Paul Williams that really makes it x.com/Rizzo/status...

I was happier to see this giant Narceus millipede in hill country yesterday than it was to see me. It curled into this defensive spiral and just sat there. Made a nice photo, though. With bonus mites, if you look closely.
Photograph in close-up with a coiled millipede filling the frame in a large spiral. It is dark grey with red legs, and red trim on each segment. The lighting is very soft, as if in a studio, allowing us to see all the fine texture on its body. Several tiny white mites cluster near the center.

I love that Jack Skellington could have had this cool, dripping, wild-ass actor but instead he's got a 90's dad Steve Guttenberg voice
The actor Steve Guttenberg in a screenshot from a film in which he plays a dad. He has short, curly hair, a long dopey face with cowlike brown eyes, a button-down shirt and pleated slacks ensemble, and an overall approachable-accountant vibe. He's holding a baby.

While the vast majority of my #EmotionalSupportSpood entries are salticids, Geolycosa (burrowing wolves) absolutely have their place. Enjoy this lovely lass peering from her burrow.
Goodnight y'all 🖤
