He/him. Het, not always the cis-iest.
Hard books, dark music, sportsball, MPLS, left politics, cats, occasional fitness, nail polish.
Sentient weighted blanket, high shelf reacher/handwarmer/foot rest, spouse for @zanadu.bsky.social.

I have two words for the national Democrats.

Well, those would work, yes.
But also.
Opposition. Party.

The other side gets it.

'Standing up doesn't work' and other milquetoastery mealy-mouthed quislingisms are NOT the message for this era.

I genuinely don't know if this is a "Minnesotan" thing or an "old guy of a certain age" thing but in case it's Minnesotan and people need an anger translator: this guy is so angry he could just about set something on fire with his mind.

Book 206 📚 for 2025. If there's a way to get inside Buddhism from a book, this book does that well. A little repetitive, but that's good! if you're untutored like me, because it helps pick up what the ajahn is putting down, as it were. Good read. Available everywhere, including your local library.
