An Oklahoma lawmaker has filed a bill that could amend the state constitution, allowing funds to get redirected to churches.

One critic said the goal is to "force taxpayers to subsidize their religion."

Someone interviewed me about Twitter ages ago and asked me about my "posting strategy." I was so thrown by the question I just burst out laughing.

Ain't no strategy here. I'm usually killing time waiting for one of my kids somewhere, posting for my own amusement and nothing more.
I understand there is some discourse currently going on about "clout" here on Bluesky and while I can understand why people can be focused on it and how to achieve it I must tell you my entire posting strategy is and always has been "This was in just in my brain and now it is your problem too"
