Thanks, Ama! My son is a PA. I had him check me, and he said sinus and ear infection. He prescribed an antibiotic. I started it today. I should feel better by tomorrow.

Speaker Johnson is the WORST kind of faux Christian. Dishonest weasel! The tone he uses when spewing lies is so smarmy and fake. He makes my skin crawl.

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 16h

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Antifaschistische Aktion - 1920s-19302 resistance to the rising power of the Nazi movement in Germany.

Antifa - short for anti-fascism. Anyone who stands up against fascism is Antifa. Don't expect to attend a meeting though ... It is not an organization.

See, now you got me going. Quitman Lake in Texas. Now I gotta research how the lake got its name.
Damn, you P.G.!

Barbara Longley Author (no DMs) 📎 @blongley.bsky.social · 22h

Or.. on the lake named on the sign, which wasn't in front of me when I posted ...

Barbara Longley Author (no DMs) 📎 @blongley.bsky.social · 22h

Oh, I think it could be a 'tongue-in-cheek' kind of advertising, and I'll bet this place is situated in a popular, touristy town on one of the Great Lakes.

The old adage "He who stands for nothing falls for anything" has a great deal of relevance today.

After they win their cases, Trump's "legal persecution victims" should band together and sue him for what it costs them to defend themselves in court, and for the time they spent missing work, or whatever, while putting up with his insanity.

Good morning, creatives! This virus is kicking my ass. Not even coffee is going to help me concentrate. Blech...
I sincerely hope you feel better than I do.

We did see monkeys when we went on estuary tours and river trips, but not in the areas that were residential. Lots of iguanas, though, and feral cats.
