Call your Congress folks and senators and tell them you expect the SSA offices that are funded by your taxpayer dollars to be adequately and appropriately staffed in order to provide the level of service you expect. Reassigning more folks to phones will lead to more delays in appointments and

Absolutely wild pink nitrogen ribbon aurora burst last night here in Iceland. There was cloud cover, and I was worried the show would stay shrouded. Voila!
The purpley-pink & white ribbons are much closer to us in the atmosphere than standard green arcs, and are fast moving.

A poem for the Solstice
To Know the Dark
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.
Wendell Berry

Yesterday, I got the official who signed the deal to publicly admit it for the first time.

This is so wrong. The best case scenario involves future Americans punishing the Americans who ideated, implemented and operationalized this, socially and legally. It will be awful and we should do it.
