I am terribly sorry that I can't pass all of the purity tests thrown at me on this app.
I mean, I could lie and pass every single one of them, and in so doing- pass none of them.
My mind and my beliefs are my own and aren't going to change just to fit into whatever group you claim to be leader of.

No one, and I mean no one, has been asking for a fucking ballroom at the WH for 150 years.

Except maybe billionaires who still want to buy favors from Trump, but would prefer to do so while sitting at least half a football field away from him.

Some (all) of these are no real surprise to anyone, are they?

Some of us are not shocked, while others are still repeating "But but but- he can't fo that, right? He wouldn't do that, right?".
Dictators do whatever the eff they want to. And he is.

EvilGinger- Queen of Naps @evilginger013.bsky.social · 10h

Been all over the news here- he said the ballroom would not touch the East Wing, that the East Wing would be getting a reno when the ballroom was built. And he's now ripping the façade off of the East Wing to build the ballroom paid for by billionaires looking to get favors from him.

Yeah, we have doorbell camera, but they aren't Rings, and they aren't connected to the internet in any way. They only connect to our own recording system, and if they want those files- they better have a warrant and be faster than my family is at pressing "Delete All".

The tray you have it on is great! They like water, but hate wet roots.

Or cut it down to half strength/amount or less. That plus too much direct sun is the likely culprit. Plant looks healthy af, but convincing a peace lily to give consistent beautiful white flowers can be tough. It took a few years to get mine back to doing so after they started with green flowers.

EvilGinger- Queen of Naps @evilginger013.bsky.social · 20h

Gonna say that it's likely too much light- you've got it in front of a big window and likely lots of overhead lamp light. They like lower indirect light- move it off to the side and give it time. Too much fertilizer can also cause green flowers, so if you are giving it plant food, cut back a bit.

much here lately- end of harvest season so little affect on our crops, but rainwater storage tanks to get the greenhouses through the winter were a bit lower than is comfortable. Looking at gauges now, and they are refilling quickly- we'll have to check filters and clean a few tomorrow, most likely.

EvilGinger- Queen of Naps @evilginger013.bsky.social · 1d

full. But I am worried about Internet service- above ground lines + high winds + heavy storm usually means we go offline at some point (though it has been much better since the massive storms this past April- they had to do a ton of repairs and restringing).

We do need the rain- we haven't had

EvilGinger- Queen of Naps @evilginger013.bsky.social · 1d

7 or 8 pm, it was so dark and no ambient light coming through the top of the curtains.
It was 3 pm.

It has obviously been raining outside, but the fam told me it had been a farmer's rain.

It's torrential out there right now, with one helluva wind.

Not worried about power- the batteries were

EvilGinger- Queen of Naps @evilginger013.bsky.social · 1d

What an ugly overcast day. Cloudy skies this morning, but more than enough light coming through for the solar to generate what we needed for everything- just no excess generation feeding back into the grid.
Too a nap this afternoon (turned into a sleep) and woke up after 4 hours thinking it was

EvilGinger- Queen of Naps @evilginger013.bsky.social · 1d

Bro- did you not read any of the signs, hear any of the chants, listen to any of the protest songs, listed to any of the many speeches?
You would prefer everyone just stood around and wrote strongly worded letters asking Trump politely to get rid of ICE and step down?
Obvious demands *were* made.

EvilGinger- Queen of Naps @evilginger013.bsky.social · 2d

Mouse-only input and it says "Playable without timed input". Sounds doable.

EvilGinger- Queen of Naps @evilginger013.bsky.social · 2d

Not sure you're going to want to try kb/m right away though- even after a "simple" arthroscopic surgery on my fight rotator cuff, I did not dare try to perch that forearm up on the desk- that arm hugged my belly in a sling for a few weeks.
They put Accessibility options in- use them.

EvilGinger- Queen of Naps @evilginger013.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, a lot of the mouse-only games are going to be more casual in nature, point & clicks, puzzle games, and Hidden Object games being some of the easiest for mouse only gaming. The Steam store page for Civ 7 does say it has a mouse only option in the Accessibility features- so go for it.

Seeing a lot of people recommending Balatro too- never played it, but I hear it's addictive.

EvilGinger- Queen of Naps @evilginger013.bsky.social · 2d

Easier to search in a browser than on Steam Client. Steam search has never been great, but it seems especially borked for finding Curators right now since they updated the store.

EvilGinger- Queen of Naps @evilginger013.bsky.social · 2d

store.steampowered.com/curator/2527...
store.steampowered.com/curator/6255...

Their lists are not complete or all-encompassing. But they are a good place to start looking. There may be others if you search Curators for "Steam Curator Mouse Only" and similar keywords.

EvilGinger- Queen of Naps @evilginger013.bsky.social · 2d

I've had both shoulders worked on, and I won't get into the details, but be ready for it to suck for a while. Mouse only will be the way for a bit.
There's a few Curators on Steam that specialize in accessible games for one-handed play:

Let them have what joy they can find in this messed up world.

Heh. My neighbors' 7 year old daughter ran up to me not long after 6 > 7 became a thing, and started yelling it, very happily. Her Dads were behind her and just shrugged and grinned. So I did it back- she was *delighted*!
I still don't really understand it, but it made her *HAPPY*, so...

Slower-paced puzzle games, maybe? Strange Horticulture and the sequel Strange Antiquities can be played with arrow keys/WASD + mouse or with a controller. but you can also play (albeit a bit more slowly) with just a mouse. Both spooky enough to fit the season too.

enough to protest here is amazing! Brought them some GF/AF candy, granola bars and sports drinks (regular and SF) before I left to come home.

So fucking proud of everyone who is out, or who helped in the sign making parties, or phone banked, or ran rideshares!

local area. Had to run to the grocery store earlier, and there were several dozen people in a pop-up protest in front of the shopping center (sorry, no pics- I was driving and don't want to dox them or myself). But it was wild- the town I am in is pretty deep Red- seeing a few dozen folks brave
