We are the luckiest family on earth.
On Sunday, we get the keys to our new townhouse in #Canada, finally.
So we walk over there today for fun, & our neighbor Jerry, who must be over 70, is cutting down our overgrown bushes for us, because we told him we wanted to pull some of them to give Hammy more space. He wanted to get the ball rolling.
On his own. Because he's amazing.
& he's going to keep doing it until we actually move in.
We were floored.
#PortMoody, & Jerry, I love you.π₯° π¨π¦
I'm 55 years old. I didn't think I'd see one black POTUS in my lifetime and I am going to get TWO. Incremental change. It's difficult but black folks are long suffering. πΆ We shall overcome someday. πΆ
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar comments on the horrifying shooting of Sonya Massey in her home in Springfield, Illinois, after she called the police thinking an intruder was on her property. Policeman Sean P. Grayson then shot Massey. Abdul-Jabbar writes,
"The question here isnβt how this could happen, but why it happens with such regularityβmostly to Black people. β¦
This is why Black people fear the police."

Sarah Palin was ONLY VP who ever damaged her ticket in measurable way
The Bearded Palin will be worse. Couchy McDolfin (don't ask) hates women in the year of the woman voter (Freedom!). That Asshole JD Vance, Trump's new Vice Pence will cost Trump several points he can't spare
Vitamin C, to keep you from getting scurvy.
Their response is very different if you call someone a MAGAt.
If I bounced a check today, my bank would cover it without a problem - they've sent me letters telling me so, but I never need them to.
When I was desperately poor and the bank didn't credit my deposit for two days - without telling me they were going to delay it - and they bounced the check I wrote for groceries, I had to cough up a couple hundred dollars in an escalating series of NSF fees and check returns.
Being poor is VERY expensive.
Oh lord give me patience even though you don't exist π
Are they trying to get us to love her more? https://www.comicsands.com/rnc-kamala-harris-f-bomb-2668815213.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram
My only issue with that is blaming all of Israel for the actions of a conservative minority government that's leveraged itself into power.
Not all Israelis, just like not all of the USA.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
