With respect for the words of Pastor Niemöller, an anti-semitic Nazi supporter until the Nazis put him in a Dachau for protesting their domination over protestant churches. We're 8 out of 11. I also should have said something about exchanging government officials who hold people acountable. 😢🤬

@ruthmarcus.bsky.social, David Shipley, @anntelnaes.bsky.social & other former employees of the Big River guy should get together and create unpostednews.com. I just bought the domain for $13.27. You folkscan have it for that and $0.30, so they're all odd numbers. It could just be your landing page.

Gone to BC today to celebrate my b-day before the border closes. Hyperbole? I would've thought so until last month. :-(

There are so many huge things to fear and discuss that I've found myself taking refuge in minor complaints, like "I can't find the precise kind of herbal tea that I want," or "These tomatoes are slightly too fibrous." There's something so satisfying about a minor gripe.

Elena and I could be 2/3 of the cast. I've already built hidden door bookcases.

Okay. Back in the game as an author who finishes and publishes. I can't control whether people love them, but I have to help the ones who might love them find them. [That's a clunky sentence, Rob, unless you read it out loud.] If you read it and liked it, leave a review. If U hated it, plz lv rvw.

You had me at "art is how we decorate space," then... "music is how we decorate time." As an author singer songwriter whose primary visual art is pumpkins, I heARTily endorse this.
