"Santos Act"
RT @RitchieTorres@twitter.com
BREAKING: I am reintroducing the SANTOS Act in the 118th Congress in partnership with Rep. Dan Goldman. The bill punishes candidates who lie to voters about their qualifications.
SANTOS stands for Stop Another Non Truthful Office Seeker.

Anti-LGBT garbage
This is a panel representing "Moms for Liberty", an anti-trans, anti-gay group in Florida, arguing that the "Don't Say Gay" law should be expanded to include all children up to 8th grade.
Anyone want to point out to them that the 6 on the panel who are men, identifying themselves as Moms, are acting against the law?

In a speech at Mansion House in London tonight, Mr Khan will say politicians "can't keep quiet about the immense damage Brexit is doing".
Within the last 10 years, I learned that my Spanish ancestors were #SephardicJews who were expelled because of the #SpanishInquisition . Around the time of #TexanIndependence and the #MexicanInquisition , my paternal ancestors slightly changed their surname (removed βde laβ) and fled from Nuevo LeΓ³n to Texas. All we were ever told was that our ancestors were βrunning from the law.β #DescendantChallenge #Sephardim #Anusim #Sephardic #CryptoJew
In 2015, I did a road trip around the US Southwest, which included Death Valley, Zion, Bryce, and Canyonlands National Parks as well as Monument Valley Tribal Park, shown here. All of those except Zion are basically deserts, and it rained in every one. And when it rained, it didn't fool around. I got stuck in a flash flood not long after this photo was taken.

"Life did not prepare me for this" - the Ukraine Defender helped a female cat give birth in a trench, in the cold and under shelling. Mother and children are fine. Thanks to the Ukrainian Warriors, life can go onπΊπ¦β€οΈπΊπ¦ #Ukraine #UkraineRussiaWar #SlavaUkraΓ―ni #UkraineWillWin
There always seem to be too many horrible things going on in the world - so here's a nice sunset picture to brighten up your day.
This particular one features Glastonbury Tor, with St Michael's Tower, as seen from the Somerset Levels. There has been no use of filters or colour enhancement - the sky really was that red.
I won't detain you with stories of Avalon and King Arthur - I expect you know them already.

In Poland, waxwing birds love to eat fermented fruit, get drunk and then lie insensible on the pavement.
People collect them and put them in a safe place until they sober up... #OurBeautifulWorld
Thanks to @StateofPoland for the photo.
Wednesdays are aerobic-strength days: a cardio workout with 2lb hand weights. Felt really good today! And, of course, the evening dog walk...
Same workout as last week: I like this one! https://youtu.be/6-X58hb3L_U #exercise #fitness #accountability

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.
