This red squirrel ate through a window screen to break into the cottage, knocked over a large container of peanuts, got the lid off and ate them all, then swanned about the place knocking over small lamps until the next time people arrived

If I can call Marjorie Taylor Greene from England to yell at her then you can call literally whoever your reps are
I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.
So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. 😂

In the wake of all the news coming out of the US and the amount of shouting at the TV I've done, I thought everyone else might benefit from one of my favourite photos from 2017 to break up the doom scrolling.
I cannot fix the big things, so here's a small thing.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Question for full service sex workers: what kind of place makes for a good in-call in America, where the law makes such a place illegal?
House? Apartment? Something else I'm not thinking of?

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.
I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.
My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

After reading the Redwall books, I have a literary criteria to which all books must be subjected. Are the depictions of rich cooking central to the plot?
I call it the Beschamel Test.
