Not dead yet. So, I’ve got that going for me which is nice…

But, now I feel half of America wants my community to disappear

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Glorious fossil find!
Happy New Year and happy 25th anniversary to the Jurassic Coast WHS! This #FossilFriday we're introducing a fossil of the month to celebrate the collectors who make this place what it is. We're kicking it off with this beautiful ammonite from local collector Lizzie Hingley. (1/2)

My photo shows the decorated rear and handle of a Roman bronze mirror, dated AD 50-70. The mirror was discovered in a pit during excavation of a Roman Villa in Devon.
Roman mirror ‘glass’ was typically highly polished tin or silver.

I've emailed many rescues, magazines, their local news, radio, sports, podcasts, dog trainers, daytime and late night shows. If anyone thinks of anything or anyone that I could email please let me know. I can't believe MELIA is still waiting. 🥺 Thank you

This is stunning - an Ancient Egyptian glass bottle in the shape of a bunch of grapes!

New Dynasty of Egypt, c.1200 BC

It was made by dipping a mud core in molten glass, before attaching extra lumps of glass to represent grapes

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

It originated in the 19th century meaning something you couldn't do... so of course the GOP would pervert the saying
Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

We’re with you! Our community sticks together and have your back
Re-upping this in case someone needs to hear it going into the weekend and New Years. You aren’t alone— this is the hardest time of the year for so many people, and there’s *nothing* wrong with you if you’re one of them.
The next few days are going to be hard. The fear is palpable. So please, if you’re at all wondering: I wish you could see how much the world needs you. Right now, all that matters is getting to morning.
