Well. We’ve been pulled into the classic blunder. Never get involved in a land war in Asia. (Please forgive me some gallows humor). Have fun storming the castle.

If my brain has to give me a murder mystery dream, the least it could do is let me sleep long enough to figure out the killer.

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

I was struck by this juxtaposition at the No Kings March in Denver, with the sign and arrow for the Denver Justice Center pointing at the march. We the people are the center of justice. #nokings

Betsy Jochum, the last of the 60 players from the inaugural season of what became known as the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League — which decades later inspired the 1992 film "A League of Their Own" — died last month at her home in South Bend, Indiana. She was 104.

Gonna need a large gathering of Barbra impersonators to wander the various protests singing “Don’t Rain on My Parade”

Live conversation with The Dread Pirate Richardson @hcrichardson.bsky.social and Pete Buttigieg at 2pm Eastern today. Should be a great listen!

How very Malfoy of him. And can we talk about how much he looks like Jason Isaacs playing Lucius in the promo pics.

Fascinating and terrifying talk. The ending has a little hope. Keep up the good work.

Treason seems to have a higher ROI than a lottery ticket.

The last 24 hours in American politics has reminded me of those videos where a python fights a crocodile.

Not me casually taking baby pictures of the first tomato setting on. But, don’t count your tomatoes before they ripen. #gardening

Happy Third of June, another sleepy, dusty delta day. Pass the biscuits, please.

Remember to wear sunscreen and drink lots of water. Mama loves you. Happy Pride! ⚓️🏳️‍🌈

Taught a class on Episcopal prayer beads to two groups of fifth graders today. I *might* have referred to prayer beads as contemplative fidget spinners. ⚓️

The idiocracy is mind-boggling.

New listings up at Mother’s Manna.

I’m starting a new audiobook and have found perhaps my new favorite word for this era: Onagrocracy: government by braying asses. The Anatomy of Fascism by Robert O Paxton

When the audiobook series changes actor and therefore character voices from one book to the next. 📚📚

The screaming should have been taken as a warning sign from the void.

So long as tyranny exists, in whatever form, man's deepest aspiration must resist it as inevitably as man must breathe. Emma Goldman #resist

My teen does not appreciate my terrible gardening puns. I’ll just spend more thyme with my friends Herb and Basil.

Mother’s Day at the ballpark. Best place to be. ⚾️

We’ve got one foot into fascism and the other on a banana peel.

Does my basil taste better if it has mountain views? #gardening

Friday night still life: cleaning the wire scrap out of my crafting tray. It makes a lovely pattern. 🧶

One of my favorite travel memories is sitting along the colonnade in St. Peter’s Square at twilight. The crowds had gone, the magical light of the gloaming hour that turned Rome’s ever present dust to golden air, and the deep clanging of the church bell. May the new Pope find the same peace. ⚓️

I nomini pizza, toppingsa, et spiritus saucus Amen.

My favorite part of the previous papal conclave was the social media account for the pigeon on the Sistine Chapel roof. Will anyone be creating an account for one this round?⚓️

55 years ago today, 4 students at Kent State University were killed for protesting the Vietnam war. Allison Krause, 19 Jeffrey Glenn Miller, 20 Sandra Lee Scheuer, 20 William Knox Schroeder, 19 We must stand against war, militarism, and government attacks on protest.

Fantastic method.
