This video has a special place in my heart because it is the first time I saw Robert Smith.

Backing down and giving in is actually how we should be standing up here. Just give in with nothing substantial to show. That’s how you really stick it to ‘em.

And for no reason other than all the deep pockets probably calling them threatening cutting off funding. They’re not our representatives, they’re the representatives of corporations and billionaires.

I can’t help but feel it’s the $ from airline corporations doing the talking now.

I have this planned further down the alphabet! 🎶🖤

I guess it was bound to happen that the senators cramming their gullets at the corporate trough would fold once the shutdown was affecting corporations like airlines and not just people trying to put food on the table.

Thanks! Looking forward to that post- exam cider! Been in my field for close to 2 decades so I hope I’m ok. But it’s been a while since the didactic stuff so little details to fret over… I’m an aspiring Canadian. My husband is a Canadian (dual) citizen and we are working on making a permanent move.

Thanks! Looks like some sunshine might be coming out at the tail of our trip. I’m there for a professional licensing exam so I’ll be stuck indoors, but hoping for a couple nice days once it’s over before we head back.

Going to be in Ottawa (from north of Seattle) next week. Have been eyeing those weather reports. 😬

So good. Some Cure footage makes me feel disappointed with my life decisions and wonder why I wasn’t at that show instead of whatever else I was doing at that time!

Serious question- do they refer to themselves as maple MAGA or MAGA cons? As in make America great again? (Not that MAGA actually does make anything great again…)

Such a good song! It’s otherworldly like a romantic sci-fi set in feudal Japan that you can dance to.

Good point. I know someone that took their 100 lb pit bull in the cabin as an emotional support animal before airlines changed the rules. She said they kept it at their feet. I asked if they bought the third seat and she said no and that someone else sat in the same row as them!!!

We all watched it unfolding in front of our own eyes. It is blood boiling that it’s being rewritten as if it was just a good ol’ wholesome peaceful protest and Trump did nothing wrong. And he is still lying that he won the 2020 election. It’s equally enraging and defeating.

But how could that have worked with the co- author thing? Like equal to them?? I mean, she was a woman!

(/S, because you cannot see my eyes rolling all the way out of my head.)

Same. Cannot wait to find out where though!

😡 How long will it take for a “civilized” society to realize all health issues are personal and are between the individual and their healthcare providers. If someone doesn’t open up to tell you about it of their own free will, it is none of your goddamn business. (That goes for you too, government!)

Wow- great footage!
