I do what I can. But also, there are a lot of places online to learn reliable things. (For example, there are 23 Democratic govs, not just the 11 in your list.)
Education is everything.

Perhaps they're alert to different things than you are. Education is everything.

Curiously, the age range of the 11 women who accused Andrew Cuomo of sexual improprieties was also 25 to 35, and they were characterized as "so young" (esp the 25-year-old).
So, which is it?

No soap. Radio.

I will be bringing the "flag of my father" -- which has 48 stars. He was in the US Navy Antifa during WWII.

I wonder if he realizes that these young Republicans would call his wife and children "mud people."

Awareness and agreement are different states of mind -- and being able to differ is among the rights worth fighting for.

Hey, Scott Bessent -- there seems to be some competition for "most unhinged" this weekend.

I stocked up on coffee in the past couple of months --and I'm glad I did that. The last on-sale price I paid (maybe 2 weeks ago) was $12/25.9 oz. Today that price was $19.
Weirdly, local gas prices have been stable in the $3.15 range.

This is very important. Your therapist is not your friend, a confidant, or a parent. It's a different kind of relationship that is both intimate and distanced and that takes a while to figure out. (At least it did for me)

Thank you, but no. I've done the whole exhibition thing for years and years. I've only recently realized how much I hate it and why. It's much, much better for my health if I don't go there. Sometimes you don't know what something will be for you until you try it.

By the time I'm over my stuff the person has decided I'm not interested in their friendship and has given up on me. It's really awful.
Someone asked me recently why I don't exhibit my artwork. I told her I can't manage going to openings because people like my work, but they don't like me.

Great! No one will think to look for it there!
