Good government is NOT a business and does not "run like a business. The purpose of a business is making money for its owner...and to do that many businesses do create value for customers. The purpose of a government is serving its citizens by establishing security, justice, health, etc.

Notice how it’s always, “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the +2,000 verses in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

The Leverage actors getting on social media to swear they were not in Paris is the content we deserve.

My wild controversial opinion is that we do, actually, owe it to strangers to take basic precautions and engage in actions that ensure the safety and well-being of others, to make the world accessible and non-hostile and easy to navigate.

WIP (not quite) Wednesday. Chugging along, finally time to work on the FPP project. We're moving fast down to FL and applique is easier for short stays, but at our current location for 5 days so there's time to break out the sewing machine. #quiltsky #quilting #foundationpaperpiecing #FPP

Folks, I love this novella SO MUCH! Arranged marriage emotional slow-burn, outsiders making a community, grumpy researcher protagonist who's not scared of supernatural creatures but IS scared of socialising, hot devoted vampire husband, fun with fairytales and horror tropes, cosy and satisfying!
Only 2 more days until A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence will be published in ebook and in paperback!

Preorder the ebook now for the special advance price of $2.99/£2.49: books2read.com/honeymoonGrave

Oh I'm just a bill
Yes I'm only a bill
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill

So let me teach you 'bout
institutional dysfunction-
Since I won't come to a vote:
Cultists have got no compunction.

So I'll never be a law, no way,
though I hope and pray that someday
someone humane steps up to govern.

Have finished Gorilla in the Groove, it was fun.

If you are looking for a shifter romance series set in Ireland, I very much recommend.

It is nuanced and funny.

@cemurphy.bsky.social does it again

I can’t help it. The grackles are still here, and need to be photographed 🤣
The male Common Grackles usually take every opportunity to display, especially in the spring! But it’s Fall, and this male was displaying a lot! Apparently, he knows what he looks like🤣

Quilting Note: when you are matching seams on diamond pattern pieces and basting everything to check alignment, DO NOT say to yourself "everything is lining up perfectly why do I even do this basting step". The next few seams will be filled with seam ripping and regret. #quiltsky #FPP

WIP Wednesday: new favorite quilt tool, a water brush. Filled with plain water, use to trace sewing lines before removing papers. Makes foundation paper easier to tear along the lines and leaves fewer leftover bits to pick out with tweezers. #quiltsky #FPP
