This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?

He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Very proud of this pretty little painting I did on some glass yesterday. It'll be one piece in a larger stained glass project I'm working on.

Marbled paints in blue, yellow, green, white, and gold tones on a piece of glass.

Here's a bright spot in my life that has otherwise been quite consumed with cancer fear recently: I have begun shopping for a dress for my wedding ✨

Yesterday I tried on a dress that made me feel like a pretty princess which is not a feeling I experience very often!!

Unhappy to report that preliminary results are showing us having reelected every single incumbent like usual

Eager to see how town elections go tomorrow.

We have a town council made up of majority old white dudes for a town that is less than 30% white. We also have historically had <15% turnout for local elections.

Would love to see a change tomorrow.

There is one dude in particular on our town council who has had multiple scandals for egregious behavior and who nonetheless keeps getting reelected. He's been on the council for like 30 years now. I do not understand it.

Every bit of good news seems to be closely followed by some bad news

It's wild how something can just live dormant in your brain unremembered by your conscious mind. I just watched Coraline for the first time in 1.5 decades and learned that a concept in my game is just fully stolen from it 😅

Fall color on the native saplings. The dogwood is a lovely dark red and the serviceberry is orange. First fall with the serviceberry, we just planted it in the spring!

Really AWS another major outage? It has been 8 days since the last one.

Scrolling therapists on Psychology Today and click one. In her bio, there is a line "I thrive on watching people make better decisions." This line is immediately followed by an image of her feeding Cheez-its to a raccoon. The image is unacknowledged in any of the text.

Lil man has been glued to my lap ever since it started to get cooler.

I am sitting on my couch with a white throw blanket over me. My little black kitty is lying on my legs.

Three distinct and unrelated issues with third party services this week have created fires for me / my team. I am so tired.
