Forgive me

Guy on NPR says that the shooting is because "people use the words genocide and ethnic cleansing, which radicalizes people."

I actually think it's more to do with the fact that Israel & the US are doing genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Rediscovered tonight: a short-lost treasure of uncertain provenance.

I have no precise recollection of how I came to have these, but I do remember what I found in them once.

Somewhere in these pages (from 50-odd years ago) is a story about queers taking their liberties.

I got diagnosed with ADHD and picked a doc who would manage meds with me like a fine tune mechanic. After a couple months of work, he rx'd me some classic ADHD meds to try.

Wonder if I picked a too-by-the-book guy tho -- he asked for a drug test! Never heard of that before...

I grew suspicious of my neighbor's tree last fall. This spring, its flowers confirmed it: this is a pawpaw tree.

That means I can grow a pawpaw tree!

Beautiful weather at the farmer's market. Feels like today's the turning point of seasons in Chicago, a palpable sense of momentum toward summer.

My favorite tree in this park is a redbud, an early bloomer whose flowers come before its leaves. One of the heralds of spring.

Leaves arriving today!

Ok I officially have 2 gym memberships, two shrinks, and a personal trainer. I will become the ultimate man. I will conquer the masculine gender.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"

Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

The CEO of Uber is in the board of my company, and they're forcing us to head into the office 3x a week. Sure it's unrelated...
