Crazy. I definitely have a different perspective now… I got struck after I had already hunkered down for about 25 minutes and thought I was good to go. The first thing I noticed after peeling myself off the ground (besides pain) was the smell of the burning tree that was split in half next to me. 😬

Strength train 2x/week. Run 3-4x/ week. All depends on how I’m feeling, and how the work schedule is dominating. πŸ˜‚

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

Ryan Walters' TV displayed "nude women" during a meeting. Now he's blaming the media. The Oklahoma schools chief who crusades against smut now faces an investigation into his own explicit screen time

This reminds me of the old Christopher Hitchens quote about setting your watch and then waiting for a story like this to break.

Granted, he was talking about bible thumpers caught engaging or trying to get gay sex from somewhere, but this also applies here

the constitution isn’t is a word game and the fact that you can abuse the language to produce an outcome does not mean the constitution allows that outcome. the 22nd amendment was ratified to restrict a president to two terms in office, period. that is what it does.

I really enjoyed giving my political commentary today while it's still legal for women to make jokes.

Whenever I'm overwhelmed with everything, I do some deep breathing exercises and it does NOT help. I hope this helps.

Ryan Walters sues nonprofit that sent cease-and-desist letter over prayer in schools State Superintendent Ryan Walters and the Oklahoma State Department of Education have filed a lawsuit against a nonprofit organization after receiving a cease-and-desist letter.

This is an absurd joke of a lawsuit that should be thrown out of court and every lawyer who had anything to do with the filing ought to be sanctioned by the Court and referred to the state bar for discipline.

Can we permanently put to rest the myth that a businessman knows more how to manage the economy? Or do we have to wait for our economy’s collapse for some among us to grasp it?

This lawsuit is a blatant attempt to weaponize the legal system against those who dare to challenge Christian nationalism in government.

Ryan Walters is not above the Constitution, and his actions prove why watchdog groups like FFRF are necessary now more than ever.

Special education and Trump: What parents and schools need toΒ know President Donald Trump has pledged to shutter the Department of Education but also promised that students with disabilities will keep getting the services they need. Special education advocates, school district officials and teachers say mass federal layoffs mean that too few people are left to carry out a complicated law intended to protect some of the nation's most vulnerable students' right to an education. The administration laid off nearly half the Education Department's staff and slashed its civil rights enforcement arm, and Trump says he wants to move special education programs to the Department of Health and Human Services β€” an agency that announced its own round of mass layoffs in March.
