Postmenopausal female. Proud mother of a 'childless cat lady'. Non-white immigrant. Fearful of the future but doing what I can to educate the less politically informed of my friends and family, as well as to support those being directly harmed.

Met my husband 36 years ago at a Christmas party! Got him a subscription to Criterion Collection as an anniversary gift. He's a movie buff and has quite the collection on laser and Blueray. He's so happy scrolling through the collection. Nowadays he's mobility impaired and doesn't get out much.

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.
So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

This Platunurida sp. is a cousin of the famous 'giant' springtails in New Zealand. Instead of colourful spines, it has a flattened body, enabling it to squeeze into cracks in decaying logs where it lives.
