and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

I got my covid shot today. Now I'm playing a game of "is this a reaction to the vaccine or am I having a hot flash?"

I’m so very sorry. That is a terrible loss.

Paves the way for the Monster Under the Bed Act

RepMTG:

The Sunshine State is getting it RIGHT! 🌞

Florida is shutting down dangerous weather modification and geoengineering schemes because our skies belong to the people, not globalist elites and their experiments.

Now it’s time to do the same nationwide. My Clear Skies Act will END chemical spraying, geoengineering, and weather manipulation across America for good.

No more tampering. No more lies. Just clear, God-given skies! 🇺🇸☀️

One of my many weird environmental education projects was publishing The Last Hunt for the Jabberwock, a Dungeons and Dragons campaign that sends you on an adventure through the Feywild to uncover the environmental changes that have reshaped a magical forest.

For teachers, environmental educators, and D&D dorks!

In December, I published The Last Hunt for the Jabberwock, a D&D 5e adventure in environmental science and ecologic succession.

For my sanity, I’m going to assume the original post is a hoax.

That’s a nice trick, since Biden wasn’t the president on Jan 6.

I'm no football genius, but picking UCLA for homecoming seems...courageous.

Columbus was arrested in his own time because of his horrific crimes. Just saying.

Here I am. Once again. I'm out of archaeologists.

We matched 576 groups w/archaeologists, leaving 13 groups unmatched. This brings me pain! We've never run out of scientists like this before. 598 requests for one category is A LOT. But still.

Archaeologists 🥺
