I'm just floored at the number of people, including the guy whose house is nothing but the pylons that elevated it before the hurricane, are going to stay in #BigBend. It's beautiful, but it's not safe.

Mind you, I say that as someone who lives on one of the most active faults in the world.

I have energy for either going to the #Fremont arts and wine #festival today, or working in my own yard, but not both.

I think I will stay home, put some nitrogen on the cucumbers and harvest them up, or maybe cut them back. And I need to harvest the herbs and turn them into pesto and similar.

This demands a team t-shirt.

JD Vance: “We are effectively run in this country…by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives & the choices that they’ve made. And they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.”

After the weather we've had for the past couple of weeks, I'm really glad today's wind is on shore. Offshore would be dangerous.

This is separate from #project2025, and is also terrible.

"#Agenda47 is what #DonaldTrump's 2024 presidential campaign calls their formal policy plans.[1] According to the #Trump campaign, it is "the only official comprehensive and detailed look at what President Trump will do if he returns to the White House". It is presented on the campaign's website in a series of videos with Trump outlining each proposal."

"The Upside-Down Ethics of The Washington Post

The newspaper sat on the Alito flag story for three and half years. It reveals how clinging to a notion of journalistic impartiality can harm basic reporting"

This is part of why I homeschool. I don't hate school, and I think we need public schools, but my own kid was utterly failed by public school and I think it's fair that we have options for the kids we need to learn differently.
