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?

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 “who am I to deprive this dying woman of her last wish to drink a beer?” 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:

“Oh, I don’t 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.”

“So what are you going to do?”
“Ask my boss for a raise.”
“Because what are you?”
“I’m a pelican.”
“And not a...”
“Pelican’t.”
“That’s right.”
“Thanks Marty, I really needed that.”
“No problem, buddy.”

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.

It's me, your queer goth Valentine 💝

Alright, let's see if this mastodon works. We are hiring at NSF - DEB. https://debblog.nsfbio.com/2023/02/07/now-hiring-permanent-program-directors-in-evolutionary-processes-and-ecosystem-science/

#Introduction

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!

It is obscene that governments effectively require people to have internet connectivity to be able to function in society but abdicate responsibility for ensuring that people actually have that and delegate it to for-profit enterprises instead

pretty sure the fire pigeons aren’t gonna care about your silly little sign

Oh! Oh! Oh! - - -
