In other words, they are CHRISTIAN FASCISTS, who do not understand jack shit about our origins or the Constitution. Boo hiss.
"Researchers found that more than half of Republicans believe the country should be a strictly Christian nation, either adhering to the ideals of Christian nationalism (21%) or sympathizing with those views (33%)."
I promise you, this is not a weird little rubber desert island toy for smurfs, complete with coconut trees.
It's a liverwort which I just found growing between some paving stones behind our house. It must be...2cm (3/4") high?
Drinking
Oh! One other memory of when my mom was in hospice.
My mom never drank alcohol, but in her last week, she suddenly said she wanted a beer and asked me to go to the store to buy some.
I was totally in shock, but also thinking βwho am I to deprive this dying woman of her last wish to drink a beer?β so I went to the store and grabbed a sampler pack of beer.
I headed back and asked her which one she wanted to try and she laughed and said:
βOh, I donβt want a beer. I just thought you and your dad could each have one so you could stop being so uptight and SERIOUS about everything.β
Feeling about 80% better today so managed the giddy heights of a 4 mile walk along the valley between Starbotton and Kettlewell. Lovely stuff as always, and the sun even came out for an authentic springlike experience in parts.

β¨Helllooooo old friends, news sources, favorite pundits and other fellow expats from the Bird app. I closed my Twitter & lost touch with my almost 4000 carefully curated followers the day Musk took over. Here for the politics (I'm blue), the punditry, random travel & wildlife photography, and of course, the inevitable comedy. Cheers!

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.
