I may have accidentally captured evidence of the spiritual existence of Mary, Mother of God. She seems to be de-materializing right in front of the camera. You can even see the electric cords that were tethering her to reality.
Note the base, in particular.

Anticipating Spiegelman's bio of #AmyClampitt, I pulled out my copy of her @aaknopf.bsky.social's Complete Poems & opened it to this gem,"Tidewater Winter." I love how she manages her syntax here so that it teeters on the edge of the theoretically ungrammatical but never quite tips over into muddle.

This is one of the goofier custom license-plates I've ever seen.
I always thought these were a bad idea because it's much easier to remember actual words or names-& identify a miscreant driver—than if you use half-random letters & numbers to label your car.
Moo! Moo!

One third of the country supported the January 6 2021 attempted take over the government & are the same ones who voted him back in. They are traitors in my book.

62 wolves have been killed in Montana since hunting season opened. Killing wolves is neither supported by science nor ethics, yet it becomes a reality when wolves lose federal ESA protections.
As the numbers climb, how many more wolves will be lost without reason?

Sharing Wilfred Owen's last and greatest poem, "Strange Meeting," for Veteran's Day 2025 (formerly known as Armistice Day after World War I.)

In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea.
Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.

These South Korean workers came to the US to build an EV battery plant. They left in shackles. They still want to know why

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.
The Senate Democrats!
