Hail and Farewell, Mr. Slippery. Hope to catch you next time around. Say hey to Gwen when you find her.

Nemed Cuculatii, NECTW @nemedcuculatii.bsky.social · 4d

To any in the SF Bay Area who may have known him, I have the greatest sorrow to share the news of the passing of Owen Rowley, esteemed Elder and Curmudgeon of the NECTW, last HP of Lady Gwen Thompson, and legendary figure all around. I have known him since 1974 & shall miss his presence in my life.

Can’t wait to see what they’ll do when Loving comes back up. Will Thomas recuse himself, or will he vote to overturn it as well? Might be his only way to get a divorce… 🙄

Lunchtime.
Is it too much to want for a meal that acutally tastes good and is appealing, instead of just blah, like everything else does these days?

Gee, imagine what would happen if those 250,000 workers were given actual full-time emolyment by Amazon, instead of 19-hour workweeks.

Ashleigh NicSidhe @ashnicsidhe.bsky.social · 14d

But of course they would.

Letting go those things can be difficult, if only because we've become so used to carrying them, that we are sometimes (often) afraid to let go of them.

Good Vibe Drops @goodvibedrops.bsky.social · 15d

I carried grudges, guilt, and people who weighed me down. Then life taught me: when your hands are full, blessings can’t land. I let go, not to quit, but to choose peace, love, and me. 🌿✨

They are. You remember how they called the ACA "Obabmacare? Theirs is called "DONTcare."

My father was a SeaBee (C.B.) He always said they had to go in first so that when the Marines landed they had a rec center to relax in when they finished fighting. ;) (His unit had orders for Japan when "Little Boy" was dropped. Probably saved his life.)

They absolutely do not care. That’s why why their healthcare plan is called “DONT CARE” unlike “OBAMACARE”. Because Don T doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself and the GOP thinks that they matter to him. No fool like a damn fool. And the damned fools who keep voting for them.

But that’s exactly why those requirements were imposed.

Shows triangle marking system for prisoners in German concentration camps distinguished by form and colour of the marks. The table is divided into rows for basic prisoner colours (Grundfarben für Häftlinge), badges for reoffenders (Abzeichen für Rückfällige), prisoners in the punishment platoon (Häftlinge der Strafkompanie), badges for Jews (Abzeichen für Juden), and special marks (Besondere Abzeichen), as well as columns for various types of accusations: political prisoners (politisch), career criminals (Berufsverbrecher, [lit.: professional criminal]), emigrant(s), Jehovah's Witnesses (Bibelforscher [lit.: Bible researchers]), homosexuals (homosexuell), and antisocial persons (asozial). The special marks include "Jewish miscegenationists" (jüd[ische] Rasseschänder), female miscegenationists (Rasseschänderin), persons presenting a flight risk (fluchtverdächtigt), the prisoner's inmate ID number (Häftlingsnummer), identification of Polish and Czech prisoners (Pole, Tscheche) by a "P" or "T" in the triangle, Wehrmacht (German army) personnel (Wehrmacht Angehöriger) and celebrities (Häftling Ia). An example sleeve of a prisoner's dress is shown in the lower right section (Beispiel).
Jews were identified by an upright yellow triangle under the main classification triangle

I've spent much of 2025 writing a series of novellas centered around Auschwitz-Birkenzu and Dachau; the parallels between then and now are too close for comfort. I certainly never expected to be living in the modern equivilent era. El Salvador, et al, is just today's camps.
