Of course this isn’t going to magically change everything. Everyone knows that. The bishop knows that. But she asked herself: What is it I can do in this moment? And then took a stand - demonstrating to the nation that this is indeed a choice we can make, whatever form that may take individually.

Many thanks to readers for pointing me to this. It confirms that the four accounts I blocked over the last two days were all disbots—disagreement bots—programmed to stiffly, politely, but somewhat unreasonably disagree with benign assertions. A foreign op is possible, yes, but also a commercial one.

This foxy fellow was spotted in a farmer’s field, and when I stopped to try to get a shot, he came out to the road and sat for a photo shoot! I’m thinking someone must be feeding him as he was so calm and relaxed, and then began licking his chops like he expected a treat!
