Managed to find a bunch of IRL friends last night and for the record, I did not block you on Facebook. I got hacked and lost my account. And Meta makes it breathtakingly difficult to contact a real person when that happens. Given the larger context, not sure I want to make a new account. But hi!

Midnight chats with the husband.

My guess is some really advanced Charleston or jitterbug.

It's time for another stream! Husband is running a superhero game, Prowlers & Paragons, on my channel.
I play Captain Union, a steampunk, Civil War era variant of Captain America/Steve Rogers. I even bought a Union cap from the Nat'l Civil War museum.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Glad I planted my winter seeds today. Beets, turnips, lettuce, and cantaloupe. It's a little late for cantaloupe but critters got my first planting so I'm hoping for at least something.

Whether or not the Kirk shooter was a groyper, it's good that more regular people are becoming aware of the hellpit that is online radicalization.
