Books, yarn, and cats are all enjoyable topics. Christian Nationalism is the trainwreck I can't look away from. I'll be posting about it and related politics. Even though books, cats, and yarn are better.

Why the fuuuuck are we arguing about getting to torture kids? Children's rights=\=parents rights. Children deserve safety in their own bodies.

I see a lot of posts calling Mike Johnson cowardly, a toady to trump, no backbone... Friends, I gotta tell you that's wrong. His baldface lying comes from his absolute dedication and glee in the position of power he wormed into. He's living his best life y'all.

Feel free to attribute the following to a former OMB General Counsel: The supposed "new legal analysis" is, to use a technical legal term, horseshit. What the law actually says is that when Congress enacts a law ending a lapse, furloughed employees get paid at the earliest date possible. Period.
