Sunday musing…well, more a question that tells more than it asks.

Are most of us who left home and don’t live where we were raised just traumatized to the point where a whole freaking state (almost) is a dark place we don’t want to go?

interesting thing about living in a heavily wooded area (for an urban setting, that is)…
it rains four or five times after the town is gone, as the wind blows

first, friend..don’t fucking yell at me…

secondly, they all play a role…and (per my 2 thousand earlier skeets) I’ve been screaming at this fool to do his goddamned job since 1/20…and he hasn’t don’t a damn thing.

so, to review: back the fuck off and do your research, ok?

Economy & Education: U.S. trade rep. Greer and teacher's union head Weingarten | The Conversation

Democrats are comfortable fighting Trump, but to change the country we need to do more than critique; Americans want solutions & there’s lots of room to work on economic pathways to success and creating opportunity for all. Thanks @DashaBurns for the conversation. www.politico.com/video/2025/1...

My first thought was a polenta but that sweet corn cream sets it off (visually) and I’m sure flavor-wise!
I dig the cornmeal fried oysters, akin to a catfish breading?

Happy Holidays!

Now, for many of you, this is a wonderful time of year. I think that’s just great and I dig that for you.
It’s not that a thing for me. I’m cool with it, it’s another time of year for me.

So, when I don’t dance around like Will in Elf, please don’t be offended, It’s me, not you.🎄

Y’all, please…breathe:

files not released (more than 1 copy exists)
court cases being lost L&R (highlighting the irrelevance of scotus)
opposition rising, showing our strength

they’re scrambling to distract while they steal and forestall prison (or worse)

stay aware, resist…and have hope

#resist
