My state is poorer for his firing.

The kids are alright.

This is helpful input for me. I am trying to figure out how to help on an issue that doesn’t impact me without coming across as a clueless ally who can’t educate themselves. Maybe it’s ok for me to ask someone who is impacted to point me in the right direction so I don’t end up paralyzed.

My best lightning video of 2024. This slomo shot is insane. Really love how it disappates at the end

Jimmy Carter may be dead but you know who preceded him: Every Guinea worm in nearly 200 countries and Henry Kissinger
