Under the weight of all this crushing Fascism, I want to remind everyone that I’m a badly underfunded teacher in a badly underfunded alternative school in the poorest city in New England. I could use your support to continue helping kids prepare for this fucking awful world that is being dropped on them.

Here’s a couple of my students building a hot air balloon together. The one holding it just graduated and is headed to college!

Pres Biden has a record of caring & providing for veterans, #TFG eviscerated their care & plans to make steep cuts in funding:

"Here are additional cuts Republicans are proposing under The 2025 Project produced by The Heritage Foundation:

-Ending disability compensation for veterans
-Ending enrollment in VA medical care for some veterans
-Placing a 10 year limit on disability claims for veterans"
-T Akers

Climate change is supposed to give SoCal cooler, wetter winters and hotter summers. So far we haven't seen much of the hotter, just the cooler and wetter.

While the rest of the country has been baking, my part of sunny SoCal has been dealing with cool, cloudy weather. My parrot is not happy, she likes warm days.
Next week she'll be happy.

We have ginger growing beautifully, in coastal Ventura County. We planted it next to a fence, in the shade of an orange tree. It seems to be happy there.

Pretty goddamn wild for the Supreme Court to give the president the powers of a king just three days before July Fourth.

My fellow citizens: It is all the more critical that we unite behind Joe Biden and elect a Democratic Senate and House to, I hope, reform the Court but mostly to prevent an immune king--in Sotomayor's word--from gaining power. Quit the carping. Ignore The New York Times. Get to work.

Autism is generally described as a spectrum. The presentation in any individual can vary widely.

In case you’re curious about my parents, here’s one of the many similar things hanging in their house:

Just spitballing here, but probably the best way to defend against the worst Presidential β€œofficial acts” hypotheticals resulting from the Supreme Court’s immunity decision is not to elect a convicted felon to be President.

Dealing with some stuff.
Last summer I wound up in the ER, and the doctor told DMV that I'm medically unfit to drive. My license was suspended. Got a DMV hearing and they restored it, and I thought it was done. Now auto insurance non-renewed me, and I'm shopping for insurance, after 20 years with the same company.
Change. Change I have no control over. Change I didn't agree to. I'm trying to get through this part as fast as I can.

My father is a lifelong Bircher fundamentalist. Me, his only son, turned out gay. Our relationship ended the day it finally got through to me that he was perfectly content to see me dead or in prison for the sake of his politics. He's never apologized, and I don't think he'd even be capable of understanding why he should.

@Lotta

The best thing I ever did for myself was get dogs and a parrot, and let myself interact with them, however they and I wanted.
Making weird noises? Parrots love that. Crawling around on the floor playing? Dogs love that. Want unfiltered, unfettered feedback? Dogs and parrots both give that. At home, with my companions, I'm 100% me, whatever that is at the time.

@ScottSoCal so true. It's hard to not feel like we're going back to the dark ages.
