Another particular issue has been the impulsive nature of this one. But I feel it deserves the effort. For various reasons.
I think the opening, thus far, shows promise.

This has still been something like pulling teeth, though. Because it was one of those things where "writing around" the sticking point was difficult because it was literally part of the beginning and I had a hard time visualizing "further ahead" so I circle back to it.

I wouldn't want to wind up buried under the 18th Hole, either.
This WSJ article adds some fascinating context to the NYT article that has the mother of a 14 year old model brought to Mar-a-Lago for a party having Maples come up to her and saying keep those girls away from these men and my husband. Maples denies she said it.

Men doing this whole “I will vanquish continents for my children” LARP is so goofy in the context of household surveys. It’s nice you’ll kill millions for your daughter, maybe we can start at doing a load of laundry for your wife who does the vast majority of household labor?

Daycare centers were also the primary target of the Satanic panic, because fundamentally American religious conservatism is opposed to women having jobs outside the home.
Trump guys are about to Comet Pizza every third daycare center because they think they are all fronts for Somali money laundering. They're only doing this near cities with progressive mayors. This is straight up Government by LibsOfTikTok.

Is it possible to save alt text to a pic on my comp? B/c right now, if I wanna reupload a picture, I have to either retype it's alt text or track down the last time I uploaded it so I can copy/paste.
And it'd be REALLY nice to just have the alt text conveniently stored with the picture file itself.

Political theater. It's all in service to continue sanitizing Neo-Confederates and making them seem "reasonable" so that middle class Anglo and Euro-Americans think they have common cause with slavers and mass murderers.

This is incidentally why I believe you can't win by pointing out that their positions are illogical and incoherent. Being unbound by logic is a privilege of wealth. Incoherence is a flex.
If you're ultra wealthy and you need everyone to know it, a mega-yacht won't cut it any more. You need to visibly act out in ways that prove you can treat people like garbage, you can take contradictory positions and spew things that don't make any sense, and still be a part of society.

Besides having shoes forged by dwarves that function like the soles of combat boots or athletic footwear on plantigrade persons, Ozzy also scuffs the underside of her hooves to give her better traction on smooth surfaces.

On occasion, I'm made aware that people either have interesting thoughts or opinions that they would like to discuss, air out, or whatever they would like. But only a small minority ever seem to show up at my door.
