Vengeance /= Justice
One of the cold European countries... Sweden? Denmark? Norway? - anyway, one of them has a little village, with little chalets, and farm animals that the people living there take care of, and it's a prison. The inmates there get counseling and work therapy, and have the lowest recidivist rate of any prison, anywhere.
If you truly want to see crime reduced, you would be hell-bent on ensuring inmates leave prison in a better headspace than when they went in.
If youβre focused, instead, on taking as much from them as possible, youβre not really interested in reducing crime. What youβre interested in, is satiating your lust for revenge.
I heard it was #PortfolioDay
I'm a 25 year old Autistic artist(any pronouns), I usually respond to the name Acey, or just Ace, or Angel.
I picked up drawing when I was only 4 and started out with drawing "M&M guys" on the walls. Now I make #DigitalArt
Here are four of my favourite #PixelArt Pieces that I made last year.
Exactly two years after an unprecedented, violent assault on democratic self-government, the same anti-democratic, anti-government forces managed to capture the House from within. The insurrectionists finally triumphed.
Did we learn anything new from this outrageous spectacle? Probably not. But it should serve as a crucial reminder of what American democracy is up against, what the GOP has become, and what we must expect from Republicans going forward.

After dealing with the Kevin/Karen Kouple two rows back, "friendly" might be stretching it. Let's call it "professionally courteous".
Last night I got an alert on my phone that I should be prepared for an evacuation order. It didn't happen, but it looks like Montecito got hit again. Santa Barbara is again cut off from the world, with 101 closed on both sides of the town. This rain is something else, and it's not even an El Nino year.
#ThickTrunkTuesday From a different perspective. I used to love to climb into the olive trees during the harvest before we bought our Edward Scissorhands contraptions. I loved the views from up there. Sadly, no more tree-climbing for this old girl, but I can dream, canβt I? #Umbria
We recently signed up for Hulu streaming service. My 82yo mother was watching Nathan Fillion's current show The Rookie.
I told her how much I loved his work, in particular a somewhat obscure show called Firefly.
The next day I found her watching it. She was already on episode 4!

#Retrofitting and #Building upgrades are the easiest way to align three societal objectives: it can help people save money, it can help safe the environment and its a nice way of "not giving it to #Putin".
I want to share the story of my amazing dad, who has spent the past 20 years optimizing my family home to become #CarbonNegative.
He is an #engineer, so this comes much more natural to him as me being an #economist, but I think this story is an #inspiration to others.
So lets get on...
Do not attribute to evil what can be explained by stupidity, goes one line of thought. But that has been taken to the extreme. The GOP is evil.

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.
