In Georgia -- and other states controlled by Republicans -- protest is being turned into a criminal act.

Don't worry, folks. We've FINALLY realized police officers should be held accountable for murdering Black people, so it's okay to watch this one."

My latest soft pastel artwork is titled 'Bluebird for Happiness and Lucky Clover' becuase it combines a beautiful Eastern bluebird with a four-leaf clover. One symbolizes happiness while the other is a symbol of luck.
See this artwork now in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/bluebird-for-happiness-and-lucky-clover-mm-anderson.html and soon on the other sites listed in my profile.

Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing.
