Woo-hoo! New fiction up and out at Does It Have Pockets? Thanks to Camille Griep and team for the huge hug. If you read the story -- www.doesithavepockets.com/fiction/stua... -- you'll understand that a huge hug takes up a lot of space and weighs a lot, even if you can't see it. 😜

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going. In 1998, Republicans gladly used Monica Lewinsky's words to attack Bill Clinton.

Good shift this morning at the local food bank. Amazing people, good cheer, triaging a harvest-season bombardment of apples, pears, plums, grapes and more. Thank you, grower-donors. If you're sick of the greed upstairs, do this. It works.
