I keep staring out the window with my coffee and just smiling. It's perfect, and I can see the flakes piling up on the sill. Wish my camera was good enough to do it justice, but I don't know where my macro lens is.

Feel this. Sometimes I daydream about continuing my education overseas where it isn't prohibitively expensive and I could actually study climate science without as much anti-intellectual denialism, but turns out expatriating is pricey and takes much longer than making a latte to enjoy with a book.

Appreciate this, but as a public official, you have an obligation to be accessible to your constituents and the general public - including those who are disabled. That means using ALT text on visual media that is published anywhere online or for download.

Please make history again with inclusion.

Goodness, I'm so sorry. Hope you're alright and able to enjoy something comforting and delicious in the very nearish soon.

For sure, and same. It's just a major perk that's been a life changer for me, and a lot of folks don't know about it. If I'd known wearing a respirator would both reduce allergies in summer *and* fully stop asthma coughing and hyperventilation through winter, I'd have been doing it a long time ago.

Hell yeah. That all sounds rad AF.

Yes! It is always awesome when this happens!

Yeh

Or you can just block me instead of acknowledging that you went aggro and were wrong to hijack a post with your self-centered rant about scolds. 🙄

The fragility would be impressive if it weren't so obnoxious and obviously a sign that people who act like this are not allies and shouldn't be trusted.

Also, don't condescend and patronize me by calling me darling after disrespecting me publicly over several hours. I could give two shits that you were one of the "original" conscientious objectors when you went back and don't care at all about why that might be a deal breaker for potential readers.

I don't want to "make this" about any particular drama, and I am not reciting any secondhand info. I shared direct, firsthand experience as an impacted person. What I want is for you to stop this defensive, dishonest, and reactionary mischaracterization of what has transpired in this exchange.
