This story is developing nicely.

It's coming to a point where it's easier/shorter to list what he's doing/proposing that's legal rather than otherwise

Columbus Zoo is offering free admission and parking for federal employees and their guests in November. It's an amazing place to visit.

GOP is angry when compared to fascists, but using derogatory terms that literally separate humanity from groups through omission or reference is exactly what fascists do. To publish this to MILLIONS and not posit that illegal aliens may be a mother, baby, or the most vulnerable of you is gross. 2/3

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

One of the things I very much miss about RTO: being able to #knit during meetings or training.

Not that I could relate at all, at all.

My first thought this morning when I heard he was going to Japan was to wonder in which manner he'd be insulting them.

And to monitor any changes or declines in cognitive functioning.

Taken together, not good signs for Trump. The more often they repeat these tests, the faster the disease may be progressing.

A more benign explanation is because he is POTUS, his doctors want to monitor him closely.

MRI's and cognitive tests are diagnostic *tools*

you don't pull out a hammer *unless* you need to pound in a nail or remove one

doctors don't order MRI's *OR* administer cognitive tests *unless* they suspect there is a PROBLEM (and that includes ruling out certain things)

*menstrual* that's *menstrual* products ac!

Making a grocery run later this week for little free pantries in my town. Spices, cooking oil, shelf stable cheese like parmesan, dried onion. Things that elevate recipes made with bare bones ingredients.
Along with mental and bladder control products.

Ooo, Yes, pineapples!

Sunrises and sunsets. The play of light on Kingfishers and herons. That squeaky hinge call of grackles and blackbirds (the sound just evokes the s heen of the black feathers) Old movies for textured knits. WWII era UK movies for historic style colorwork

This is my new book (26/026). It's the 1st time in years that I'll be published as 'Shona' rather than 'S.G.'and I am very happy to be reclaiming my name. It's about a reading society formed in a northern Scottish town in the 1830s. Drama ensues. (My mother-in-law crocheted the shawl 🧶)

Bragging because he passed a dementia test (again). I would think the fact your doctor thought a dementia test *necessary* you'd keep as confidential as Epstein files...

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

I don't know if this applies in other countries (like my own), but something for Americans to keep in mind:

Good, I'm glad. It's one of those, you could tell people, but a visual is a much stronger, clearer explanation. Going forward, I try to keep the percentage within 10%. So a 90% with an 85%, a 75% with an 85%, but not a 90% with a 75%

Furloughed feds pick up Seattle beach trash to keep serving the public Furloughed federal employees were out in the rain picking up cigarette butts, bottle caps, and other trash at Seattle’s Golden Gardens Park on Friday.

Here in Seattle, furloughed NOAA employees were out in the pouring rain cleaning up beaches yesterday, part of a national week of service organized by federal workers who can't do their jobs due to the shutdown.

If I wasn't following you already, I would for this post alone.
