I don't take the age thing seriously. THEY PICK A LIE ABOUT EVERY DEM, and the press knows it's some BS but plays along. They know that the other guy is worse in every way, especially his brain. They turned being a war hero into a liability against a fortunate son draft dodger.

Choosing recovery-- choosing the kind of life we prefer & value-- isn't a one & done decision. We have to choose it again & again, in little moments, moments when we have the choice to do & say stuff that supports our recovery or not. The little decisions ARE the big decisions.

Now hearing that people have listened to (the first episode of) the podcast and heard the first victim recounting her experience in her own words & voice. That's pretty damning.

So uh... anybody with a bigger megaphone than me want to help a butch out? The Gilbert Baker Foundation & CMG are asking a settlement from us for referring to the Gilbert Baker flag/original color scheme as the "Gilbert Baker flag" of twice what we've ever made from anything with those colors.

I am puzzled by the idea that anyone who was functionally aware of politics in 2001-2002 has forgotten that all mainstream media is in the control of the oligarchy to a greater or lesser extent, and will never really get further left than Josh Gottheimer.

I 100% believe that if Harris ran, the usual suspects who are currently yelling about Biden's performance would wait a whole day before pivoting back to the complaints about Harris they yammered about in 2020 and 2021.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay “People said that there was one law for the rich and one law for the poor, but it wasn't true. There was no law for those who made the law, and no law for the incorrigibly lawless.”

Listen to the Biden interview. Its 15ish minutes of Biden talking extemporaneously perfectly well. But like several other public events over the last several days, this is getting brushed aside because the narrative that political news media wants to go with is set.

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

If you want to use acrylic paints, you can either get the outdoor formulation or wait until they are completely dry & spray it with sealer for acrylics (mod podge makes one). There are some good ideas books out there. Acrylic paint markers are the best way to write words, I've found.

Yes, though my library patrons are happy to paint nearly anything! Sometimes we do glass painting (on glass yogurt jars) or other stuff. But the Kindness Rocks are a perennial fave.

Apparently they are likely to find stuff they like better than whatever they have and 'trade' what they have for it, which given what even us across the pond have seen the Tories doing... Well. Yup

No, that's true. On the other hand, there's a long tradition of people claiming to be 'key' allies or personnel of a sitting president making claims tailored to the week's zeitgeist, in order to make themselves look/feel more important than they are.

Yeah, that'd last until she was the candidate and the owners of major news services took aim at her, then they'd remember everything they disliked and run around the politisphere saying 'Harris can't win, we gotta get someone else!'
