Are we having fun yet with this clown playing yo-yo with our retirement savings? And the SAVE act passes the house (with some democratic support??) Great. Let’s punish women for taking their husband’s last name. What a country. Grump.

Maybe next time let’s not elect someone who runs because they’re trying to not go to jail?

Starting on Mar 13, Devils Tower National Monument will be open only from 7 am to 5 pm. It used to be open 24/7. This is due to the cuts to the NP services. Here's a shot I took back in 2019 of the Milky Way above Devils Tower. This type of shot will no longer be possible without risking a fine.

The FBI is preparing to disband a team of specialists charged with combating foreign threats to US elections (per CNN). Every day, another astonishingly bad decision. WTF. I tried saying 'Calgon, take me away' to some family members the other day - nobody got the reference. I am old.

I try to be reasonable about doing a ‘follow back’ if someone follows me. I always check their feed first. But if I follow someone back and they almost instantly DM me, that’s an instant block. Just got a DM ‘hello beautiful!’ after a follow back. F that.

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids. Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

Thankful I live in Minnesota. Hope it catches on in other states.

I think part of my strategy to get through the next few years is judicious use of the ‘mute’ button. I do not want to see him, or hear him, pretty much ever again. I feel this is an achievable goal. I can be informed, without subjecting myself to that. We all know who I’m talking about.
