Absolutely pathetic, authoritarian move.

NEW: Just a week after Houston's rainbow crosswalk was repainted, Gov. Greg Abbott, seemingly at the urging of Brian Harrison and Libs of TikTok, is declaring war on Texas' rainbow crosswalks: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Greg Abbott is following Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in declaring war on rainbow paint.

I checked out Anika Nilles on YouTube. Holy shit! She is the right choice for Rush. Of course she is. Alex and Geddy picked her.

I'd love to take a look, if you do.

GoryGregorMendel @gregorthemendel.bsky.social · 1d

I switch back and forth between Acorn and Britbox.

I've recently started sort-of watching. Don't say anything.

I texted him to ask if he knew about the shows and he said he'd already signed up.

Dickies Arena is a half hour from my brother's house. Just sayin'.

Yeah. How about the Kimbell during the day and Rush at night? Not too shabby.

Ah, this again. Decades of this.

Rush is reuniting with a woman as the drummer and I think it's very sweet that Rush fans will get to see a woman once before they die

Holy shit! Rush (without The Professor, ofc) will be in Fort Worth for two shows next summer. I saw them the first of many times when I was 15 years old.

Ketamine. That's the issue there.

It's been wild to see the responses. I thought it was weird but I suppose not.

That's what I think. Except insurance policies.

It's legal, so...? But I don't want that to fail me and be a part of my Permanent Record.

They are both disturbingly accurate although I'm former university counsel and am not bald and not a man.

I may have nixed employment for a guy with a weed conviction because he would have been working with formaldehyde. I knew what fry was from my strange work in gang control.

Briefly. The hours didn't work with work too well. When you start, it's sheet-changing and room cleaning. Everyone starts there. And you know the family will be happy to come back to a clean, fresh room after a long day.

GoryGregorMendel @gregorthemendel.bsky.social · 2d

Oh, their Risk Management folks and insurance companies will insist. I would if I were their counsel. But watching me pee is a bridge too far for me.

(I've done my fair share of time combing through Pxyis records when terminating nurses.)

GoryGregorMendel @gregorthemendel.bsky.social · 2d

Yes. And I've done it for Ronald McDonald House and Big Brothers and Sisters. I was a Big Sister for several years.

GoryGregorMendel @gregorthemendel.bsky.social · 2d

Oof. Y'all really want me to pee in front of strangers so a for-profit health company doesn't have to pay chaplains? Nope.
