Google "which branch of the government starts the impeachment process".
Note the answer.
Google "who is my US House Representative"?
Maybe look for their phone number too.
Call them.
I might leave a reasonable, sensible, and completely legal suggestion on their voicemail.
I sent the triads out to hunt down the spears. Then HRH Donovan (spear) was in my back pocket (rotella) and we rolled across that field as a unified killing machine, and it was everything I have always wanted in melee. It was THE BEST. More of that for Pennsic please. 3/3

After the first round (we lost), I assigned shields to spears and gave them an RBG person 2/X
16.06.2025 13:09 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I just got back from Les Beltaines in Quebec. Had some great melee moments in the combined Heavy List and Rapier scenario. Strange to be fighting in conjunction with the other form, but it was handled safely and well. Once the East figured out how the scenario worked on the ground, we rallied. 1/X

But the two of us did all right. :)
I am not a tourney fighter. I prefer melee and singles outside the tournament pressure cooker,
but I fought in a very high stakes tournament on Saturday. I was delighted to discover my own tournament head space.
I did the best I have ever done in a tournament!
I might do it again.

Small moments of awe:
Mist, moving slowly across a dawn field, shafts of the sun not yet strong enough to disperse it's gloom. A red winged blackbird rises out of the field, into the light, singing.
A close up, black and white photo of a tabby cat. He is laying on a textured quilt on a bed, pale curtain behind him. Morning sun beams illuminate his belly, the side of his face, and his forward extended paws. The cat is peering off camera, a proud & noble look on his face.

My cat judges me.
I probably deserved it

This is a useful reminder.

Omg Politicians:

You compromise the message you are delivering by using X as a vehicle of communication.
The American people can't trust, or believe, anything coming from that platform.
Same question, plus 28 days. Aren't we at Constitutional Crisis yet?

I look hot.
Crone is the new black.

April Fools jokes are only funny in a world that prioritizes truth telling, and uses words to honestly communicate, not deceive.
That is no longer our world.
April Fools jokes in 2025 are just another type of disinformation; I am out of patience for those kinds of pranks.
