“All good in the hood”

I continue repeating to myself as I pull my hoodie strings as tightly as possible while lying in a fetal position under the conference room table, counting down the minutes until this meeting is over.

In America, they say the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

But that just sounds like someone trying to sell two guns.

I was checking out of a hotel and my wife criticized me for leaving a tip for the maid with a note that said “Gracias.” She said it was very presumptuous and bigoted of me to assume that the maid was Spanish-speaking. She was not happy when I told her that I made the assumption because when I was banging the maid while my wife was in the hotel fitness room she kept screaming, “Ay, Papi.”

@ScottSoCal and yet another example because it’s happening right now -

CASHIER: That'll be $17.95.
ME: [pulls out a $50]
CASHIER: Sorry, we've been having problems with counterfeit money. Have anything smaller?
ME: Sure [pulls out a $30]

My small and humble spot in the big universe. Thanks, Sun, for your shine these days 🙏🏽

“Republicans introduce a trojan horse bill to create a public record of every abortion in Montana.“

I’ve been shouting this for years, now it’s more and more direct: #AbortionIsAPrivacyIssue #AbortionIsAPrivacyLawIssue #MedicalPrivacy #AbortionIsHealthcare

Not just the mother, but the father too.

Republicans gladly hold their base by furthering gun violence with their policies & laws -resp. for incomprehensible suffering & deaths: Highest🔫violence: mainly in🩸states.: In the past 6 decades, TX has experienced at least 19 mass shootings that've killed a total of nearly 200 & wounded >230. Yet state leaders have repeatedly batted away measures that'd limit access to guns -instead eased restrictions on publicly carrying +making it harder for local govts to reg. them-: https://www.propublica.org/article/mass-shootings-texas-gun-control

This is dreadfully sad but also proof that actual badass courageous journalism still lives in the harshest places:

"Had I committed a real crime then it would be possible to ask for leniency, but again, due to my moral and ethical qualities, I would not do this. ... No totalitarian regime has ever been as strong as before its collapse."

A splendid Tuesday with spring like weather in my neck of New England (which is a treat this time of year)!

This is another iteration of my tulips in full bloom and ready to shed its pedals. Photograph found here:

Boosting my own toot.

Almost cut my finger off cutting up some celery and all I could think is, this never happens with cupcakes.
