Squea, Angelinos For Hope, Sante D’Or and I thank you for your order.

(Squea is thankful. She’s also exhausted)

Just a reminder that Trump had his attorney general preempt the Mueller Report with a self-serving “summary” and the media ran with it and it defined everything that came after.

Something to remember as we wait for a probably doctored and scrubbed “Epstein Files” report.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social, behold your work being done on another platform.

Consort, three days ago: I feel like baking a pie. I have never done this before. Should I buy premade crusts?

Me: You can, but maybe try making your own. It’s a little fussy, but a few abortive tries will teach you so much.

Today, I awoke to this.

He…does not need my input.

Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter Clifford “Buzz” Grambo patrols the streets of Baltimore to keep his neighbors safe—and make federal agents uncomfortable.

After 20 years in the Navy, Buzz Grambo thought he'd spend his retirement playing video games and watching baseball. Instead, he patrols the streets of Baltimore to protect his neighbors from ICE. He even upgraded his scooter to a Segway that reaches 26 mph to keep up with the agents. My latest:

Here’s that extra rage you ordered:

You are exactly right and I was totally wrong. Good thing I’m not a copy editor.

I stand by leaving but damn, I miss that septic tank.

All I hear is I now have a night every May newly available.

Jesú.

This is why I still mask in enclosed public spaces; this fucker + asthma could easily = Dead Quinn. And I am NOT LEAVING BEFORE HIM.

*Every single* institution, organization, and individual who caved into Trump already looks worse for having done so.

And every one that stood up continues to look better.

He said he was quitting comedy and, by God, he’s a man of his word

Of all the books I could have been forced to live out, the back half of FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON wouldn’t have been my first guess.

Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, is seen in a booking photo from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

A college friend double majored in chemistry and English. A scientist who can communicate clearly and effectively for a wide variety of audiences? He wrote his own ticket when job hunting.

Studying literature and writing taught me to:

-Communicate effectively
-Understand narrative, analogous to real stories of illness
-See that humans are nuanced, not all good nor all bad; gave me compassion for the most difficult patients
-Critically analyze complex ideas and challenges
-Etc etc

English major here. Would not change a thing, best decision I ever made.

There was a time when good communication skills were a stated requirement for almost any job. A good employer knows they can train rote job skills. It’s the ability to think creatively that is harder to train.

English Comp w/Essay 101 is a prereq for nursing school.

You may give verbal handoff to the nurse relieving you, but there are other people on the care team who’ll probably get what they need to know from your documentation.

*nodnod* Slashing the humanities in general is making us dumber as a society. I may not write history books, but my history degree taught me how to research and analyze like nobody's business.

Nice.

“Not end up in your job?” would have been my response, which is why I work for myself.
