Not sure what I should be posting here, to be honest.
I have a lot of disparate interests, and would rather be talking about those instead of (re)posting through our political reality.
Microblogging sites generally don’t let you spread your posting into separate feeds, so guess I’ll mix em’ all?

Average American Thanksgiving: President declares total ban on immigration, calls an esteemed democratic governor a slur, and then goes on TV to talk about Somalis like animals when asked about a mass shooting by a former child soldier and member of a CIA associated death squad.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

You know how inside corner units are just the worst? They don't have to be, when every inside corner is also an outside corner -- the magic of not having a corridor cut every unit off.
this one is really clever. the slipped rotation allows both bedrooms to have windows in the apartment, and some level of cross ventilation pre-AC.
also note: bathrooms and kitchens have bedrooms. can't say that about most new development

Ever feel like a failure?
I recently did my first craft show. It wasn’t great. I felt I had failed. So I hung pieces where I’d see them most. Now I feel joy and pride in what we did.
Considering new perspectives has helped me grow as a person and improve my mental health. That’s the real win.
