I had to take a neurobiology class recently, where I got caught up on the fun world of chromosomes. All of you should at least read up on a reliable source (and send this to anyone who tries to tell you there are two sexes/genders).

If you research Norwegian prison farms, you learn they do well by prisoners who serve there. If you spend any time in the inner city, you know mentally ill people pose a threat to everyone around them. If President Kamala (sigh) were bringing back "funny farms", you'd be like 👍 But it's him.

Ugh. I'm tired of winter. So far I've occupied my mind with stuff but it's frustrating not being able to get around much. I like the snow, at least, or I like to look at it from inside over a mug of coffee. :p
