If y'all head out to a rally today, remember your respirator! COVID is still thick as soup in some places, and you don't want to be sick for 10-14 days if you can help it.

The U.S. military exists to defend the Constitution, not advance religious doctrine. Congress has a duty to publicly reaffirm that American war-making is grounded in lawful authority, not theological or apocalyptic ideology. Text SIGN PXZYZD to 50409 or go to: resist.bot/petitions/PX...

It’s not “the Department of War”
*Although* one of my male ancestors lost both of his parents during the Civil War, and he + his siblings were separated among all the local aunts and uncles (according to the census), and my guy ended up with his sister's brother. I think Farmer Uncle was happy to have another boy to help.
My instinct is that Mrs. Scrubb is the sister of either Pevensie parent. Considering gender roles during WW2, I think it's more likely that the kids would go to a sister than a brother. 🤷🏼♀️

The real measure of any society is how it serves women and families.
So I can tell you that the state of our union is not strong when those in power put billionaires first, slash health care, SNAP and childcare funding, and protect powerful predators like the one in office.
It’s never a surprise when men put the approval of another man-no matter how degenerate he may be - ahead of other values.
But it’s still worth pointing out. It doesn’t have to be this way. It’s a choice.
It's the little things!

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

I like Talarico, but I think his Colbert interview felt a little too Jesus-y. (I say that as someone who grew up as an evangelical Christian in Texas.)
Living in Iowa now, I think Rob Sand (D running for Gov)!does a good job living out his faith in a way that feels authentic without being hokey.
The Flowflex combined tests use one swab for all three (COVID, flu a, and flu b). They worked perfectly for our family. (Though we were symptomatic for a full 24 hours before getting a positive result, they were still faster than other OTC tests in our cabinet.)
Oh no! Sending you healing thoughts. :(
Today's puzzle was fun!

I was thinking socks!
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.
We tried valiantly to contain it to just him, but a weekend of family time condemned us all. This is my second case (November 2020), and our teens' first. Zero stars, do not recommend.
He felt a little off, so he tested at his job (healthcare) Monday morning. Negative. He came back home to double-check on our Flowflex combined tests (thinking maybe it was flu?) and it popped for COVID immediately. Wonder how many of his coworkers also tested "negative"?
One state south in Iowa, and our whole house is down. 😞 My husband masks at work — has been for nearly six years now, but it must be thick as stew out there. We're so careful, and this really sucks. (He tests every Friday in case of asymptomatic infection, but it didn't pop till Monday.)
My need to have anything perfectly folded is often overridden by the sensory ick of having to turn the clothes right-side-out first.
"Here's a pile of your clothes I cannot fold."
The difference between the two autistic people in our family and the two ADHD people? Half of our clean laundry is *always* inside out. 😂
Any commercials NOT featuring AI?
The nonsense will continue until enough people speak up and say NO!
