Just FYI, trans rights are human rights and accessibility is not a special privilege, and if you have an issue with either statement you’d probably better unfollow now.

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Not only did my Mexican neighbor clear my front walk with his snowblower, he is clearing out around the cars on the block too.
In my 50+ winters in this state I have not seen a neighbor do that for someone who wasn’t disabled before.

Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean
TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting
Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

My neighbors are mostly Mexican men. Right now they're setting up a tailgate across the street. They are all in various NFL jerseys and are throwing a football around in the cold (we've joked about how they're not used to WI weather) and laughing.
In short, fuck Stephen Miller.

Not that anyone has asked me to, but I believe I could have a busy career vetting the covers of romance novels.
“Your title says Regency but that is a VICTORIAN teacup.”
“Goodness, you call THAT a Regency sleeve?”
“For gods sake, POLYESTER lace?”
Inquiries welcome.

My MIL stood up to the Klan during protests in the segregationist South. My mother fought for decent ESL classes for migrant workers and volunteered to help them learn to read. Why wouldn’t they be out there now? Boomers didn’t all get brain-wormed.

Hey twin cities friends!
There’s a new website for the Mn Rapid Response network, now called Monarca.

This is, unfortunately, so Wisconsin. She's only put in jail for THIRD OFFENSE drunk driving because she didn't have anyone sober to take charge of her.
Alcoholism is a disease and I'm not saying jail is the best place for someone with that disease, I'm saying we don't take alcoholism seriously.

My A1c is now at normal non-diabetic levels with GLP-1s, something that I couldn’t get to happen before the drugs even after losing 40 lbs and not eating more than 30 carbs a day. Even if they did nothing else but help diabetics slow their disease progression, they’d be a medical miracle.
I'm gonna need folks to understand that just because the worst people in America are obsessed with GLP-1s exclusively because of weight loss does not mean they are not LIFE SAVING for a lot of people.
There's a reason they're studying their impact on Long Covid right now.
