Did about 2 hours of weeding my extensive prairie beds. Basically just pulling out prickers and dead stuff and making space around the base of shrubs. I got as far as the rose, but it was too hot for sleeves by then and a climbing prairie rose is happy to teach you humility so I stopped for the day

Does anyone know a expert in South Pacific languages? This is why I miss Twitter. I used to be able to just ask this and someone would be like “I am!” But seriously, is anyone? I need an expert on South Pacific languages.

I knew when I saw Andy Harris drop in a “present” with Garbarino and Schweikert taking a walk that we’d be inundated with this take, which is understandable but wrong. They had 4 more votes if they’d needed them. Republicans did this, they made decisions, they don’t deserve to be excused this way

Two things can be true at once: 1. Yes, older electeds should probably think more seriously about whether it's time to pass the torch, especially if they have serious health issues. 2. No, your initial response to a good public servant dying should NOT be to scream at them for not retiring sooner.

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

1) If you have had Covid you are at risk. 2) THEY AREN’T FUCKING “BOOSTERS” THEY ARE NEW SHOTS. THE VIRUS MUTATES. 3) They are able to do this because the uptake is already so low. This is not the end game, it’s an opening gambit.

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, consider not engaging in these activities: • campaigns of terror • kidnapping • separating families • rounding up and imprisoning people for having the wrong opinions • sending people to foreign gulags with no due process • concentration camps

If you voted for anyone other than Kamala Harris last November, I don’t want to hear Joe Biden’s name coming out of your mouth. Joe Biden was a champion for cancer research funding. Your vote is why that funding is being slashed. Your feelings about his diagnosis are less than worthless.

Remember that many vile interests seek to trick you into wasting your time on conflicts that don't matter. My enemy isn't a literary author, or a grimdark author, or a cozy author. My enemy is a censor.

While you’re reading about the #Nottoway plantation fire, dig deeper into horrendous history of slavery and people resisting slavery to a brutal end by rich whites on River Road.

It’s important to emphasize that Musk and Trump killed these people and not for any particular benefit, but because breaking something that helps people provided a fleeting thrill in their empty lives

Somebody tell David Hogg that young women can’t focus on having fun and getting laid because they don’t own their own bodies anymore and that fact is not actually the fault of elderly Democrats but of Republicans and leftist purists who said we didn’t need to worry about SCOTUS
