Personal account. Food, dogs, games, politics, and gardening. Not here for the bots, trolls, or fascists.
I got rid of the personal 'Zon account ages ago. It's more than time to jettison the biz account, too. Hardly used it, won't miss it.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

Traveling for shows has some deeply satisfying moments. Good food, interesting places. Made cardamom almond butter cookies with chocolate chips, staying creekside at the local KOA in Carbondale, CO during Mountain Fest.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

Let's be clear, Trump's memo authorizes the National Guard and active duty troops to protect federal immigration officers *wherever* protests “are likely to occur."

He's not just coming for LA, he's coming for any threat to his fascist agenda.

Keep informed.

That is not the way any civilized country behaves.

Woke up, realized I had made a production error, and the reality is, it can be fixed. The stress comes from feeling like I don't have the time or spoons to fix it. The good thing is acknowledging the fix will simply add time as well as not perpetuating the error. Coffee, first, then fix.
