Happy Winter Solstice!
On midwinter’s day, the sun sets between the pair of stones that form the largest trilithon at #Stonehenge
Farewell to the shortest day of the year, as we look forward to lighter days ahead! ☀️

The rate of return here is crazy: for a few hundred thousand dollars, this lab produces literally billions of oysters and supports a seafood industry worth hundreds of millions. And the Trump administration is just like "fuck all that, it's wasteful spending, you're fired"

I have a cycling triome
A land card without a flaw
With a color combination
That lets me kill and ramp and draw
Oh, Zagoth, Zagoth, Zagoth
It’s blue and black and green
The Sultai-est of fixing
That you have ever seen

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

In the early 2000s I mentored a group of law students in a competition, with a prize of meeting the top lawyer in the UK, the attorney general. We won, and so a few weeks later I found myself at a drinks reception, in a group of very important people I didn't know, including the AG himself, (cont.)
