Made up a new song to remember to take my meds, but got too caught up with singing it and then forgot to until way late in the day. Outsmarted myself with a bop 🎶 take your medication 🎶

Hard-Right Freedom Caucus Takes Power in Wyoming (Gift Article)
A Freedom Caucus bloc has never won control of a state legislative chamber — until now. Some lawmakers worry that the newly ascendant conservatives want to “burn it all down.”

The thing that drives me crazy about cis men who are constantly incredulous of sexism is that it hurts THEM too.
Like bro you COULD be painting your nails and living your best life and talking about your feelings and hugging your friends but NOOOOO

You really don't need to be religious to get this feeling of civic involvement. Whenever someone tells me they're lonely, I tell them to volunteer.
Help the homeless. Build queer community. Work with seniors. Do something to help people around you. Throw a party! Make friends. No church required.

Hard to deny that the collapse of civic life is connected to:
1) the collapse of religious involvement among younger generations
2) the total collapse of local and regional news organizations.
Everyone wants to solve the problem without reversing these two changes, but that's very hard.

This is a really great piece, as Ganz's work always is. I think the inconvenient thing is the civic associationism of American history was heavily driven by local religious congregations, supplemented in the 20th century by veterans groups like the VFW. It was these groups that included "normies."

As we approach Midwinter, here's The Black Stag from the cave of Lascaux. Considered to be either a creature of Ice Age myth, or a rendering of an extinct Megaloceros.
Deep in the ground it was drawn above geometric symbols, including 13 circles, the meaning of which is now lost.

The best first date is going the movies to see a film that's light-hearted enough that it doesn't spoil the mood, but serious enough to give you material for conversation, but then you aren't allowed into the movie theater because you are both raccoons.
