It is National Root Beer Float Day.

Affirmation Coyotes suspects the relentless lobbying of the ruthless Root Beer trust bought off Congress to get this recognized as a holiday.

Winter Anja vs Summer Anja!
Quite often visitors and folks online will grow concerned at how different wolves look in the summer but fear not!! They have a winter coat with and a summer coat! Winter coats are roughly around 4-6 inches thicker to protect them from the elements

Happy coyote skipping down a roadway.

Congratulations, M-F work-week friends! You've made it through 40% of the way to the weekend and you're still alive.

Rest up and join Affirmation Coyote in a lively skip up the Hump tomorrow!

The only time I’ve seen “flight” from a state for tax reasons is a) if a competing state has developed enticements, which don’t always work or last (looking at you, Texas), or b) a “mansion tax” causes owners of multiple homes to divest of real estate (looking at you, flooded LA luxury market).

Not fleeing: New report shows more wealthy residents in Mass., 2 years into 'millionaire's tax' Despite previous concerns, Massachusetts' "millionaire's tax" hasn't seemed to deter high-earners from continuing to live here, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.

1. The extra marginal tax rate will affect millionaires' daily lives almost not at all, which is why in reality none of them would leave the state.

2. When you have this much money, your accountant/financial folks are already making you as tax efficient as possible.

Am being drawn to the bookshelf - The Big Book of Conspiracies! Still have my copy as well. And the look you're giving that couch. Woof.

Ha! we had that happen as well. My wife and I were all "I didn't think this ancient burial site and standing stone would be so popular..."

I have a few of Stella Rimington's books signed from a visit to the Spy Museum in DC. Sharp writer with a good sense of character.

It was driving me nuts and then I figured it out.

Whew, online engagement is really tough right now. I know it because I see Uncanny Magazine still has stretch goals that need to be unlocked! 51 hours to go: www.kickstarter.com/...

A Cybertruck

It occurs to me that the Cybertruck will be remembered as the symbol of this decade in the US. Ugly, ill concieved, falling to peices, hard to escape and prone to randomly running into things.

Watching Sinners.
It makes me think of the importance of every writer of color fighting to preserve stories and words of the ancestors.
Storytelling. Music. Prose.
Love this film.
As a practicing witch I love seeing root work. This.

I am outraged that the sycophants who run this administration are loyal only to Trump….”

Good morning

Opeth does not get enough love, IMHO. Still kicking myself for missing them when they played with Mastodon.

‘Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished

Interesting interpretation of the history of societal collapses. Tl;dr they’re caused by rich people
