That’s a huge cushion in case there’s a recount.

Couch it however you want, but this is not surprising.

All I know is something like a bird within her sang. All I know she sang a little while and then flew on.

We'll miss you, Donna Jean. You are now and forever one of the Grateful Dead.

Wish that were the case this time, but no luck. Our bee joins the next adventure. May the flowers there be even more delicious.

It’s the best response. This shit isn’t inevitable. I’m tired of acquiescing to ai’s role in a classroom, in any classroom.

Exactly. No one knows. A cat built for want want want 🤣

Me too. AE Stallings is so good. She has series of Alice poems that I love, too.

A carpenter bee died in the night holding a lantana flower in our front yard. There are less lovely ways to go. #flowerreport

Insufficient accommodations for his highness this #caturday afternoon

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Absolutely love it. Thank you for thinking of me.

Honestly, I don't care what people seeking assistance at food banks do for a living, whether they work or not, what they drive, etc.

People are hungry. Give them food to eat. Plain and simple.

He’s with you all the way. A noticeable cloud comes down on the boy when the cool weather sets in.

You can feed them after the school bus leaves.

That, yes, but it was also in the lower 40s F this morning, and he’s a boy of summer thru and thru.
