White supremacists successfully rewrote history after the Civil War, so much so that today people deny what the slave states had proudly proclaimed back then: it was about slavery. And now this group is rewriting history today. They are lying. They are liars. They are liars.

Many things suck, but as someone who taught briefly at MSU, and loved my students -- this freshman's flashy touchdown has brought me much joy. Go Dane Steel!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME DANE STEEL
BOBCATS HURDLE INTO A 21-7 LEAD
BOBCATS HURDLE INTO A 21-7 LEAD
Montana State comes back down the field with a 3-play, 75-yard drive.
Dane Steel hurdles over a defender and leaps into the end zone for a touchdown.

While my body is feeling much better, my writing brain still seems somewhat offline. And I would really like that to change.

Bwa ha ha ha ha. The entire Hemingway/Harrison industrial complex of fishing/hunting writers who all dress alike and gather in the Murray Bar after fishing and glare at women like we've come in just to smear our filthy domesticity all over them.
you ever notice how sometimes straight guys are the gayest guys ever?

I keep yelling about it to folks bc this is exciting. If you have a -cillin or sulfa allergy, there is a new antibiotic that could possibly help you. Rah is FAR more learned on it than me, I just want folks to know. See below.
I AM SO EXCITED, I have a UTI! This is a weird thing to be excited about, but: there is a new antibiotic (Blujepa, generic name gepotidacin) that just hit the market and the chemical structure of it suggests it may not actually be a mast cell trigger.

MSU wins a national championship! Despite the refs calling NINE false starts? Which was weird.

Oh my, I had no idea our Montana State was playing Illinois State for this championship. However, since I haven't been to Normal since the 1978 Illinois State High School Theater Festival, think I'll root for our local kids. (Mostly just hoping no one is maimed).

So I guess all I had to do to lose this 20 lbs I've gained through menopause was to have my reproductive organs removed.

Welp. Made a batch of lamb/elk/beef burgers for the freezer. Made the weekly sourdough. Dinner prepped. Too fried to finish the shirt I mostly sewed up yesterday.
Would really like my actual energy back because I have a book to finish.

People who respond when I complain about tourists with "what do you expect?" I just assume you all tip badly too.

I will never understand people on vacation screaming up our 2 lane highway and resolutely tailgating a local. Why the fuck did you even come here? It certainly wasn't to relax?

The right has been obsessed with Venezuela since forever. On a work trip to Seattle in maybe 2015? Alex Jones yelling and accosting people on the street about it.
The Orange One also REALLY wants to bomb an American city, like Putin/Assad "got" to do.
They told us what they plan to do.

My dude bought a replacement range for the cabin, and it has KNOBS! No clock to reset every time the power goes out. No clicking a button 14 times to get to 350. KNOBS!

Why do all the baking IG reels show them squishing the baked goods at the end? Squishiness isn't the prime characteristic of baked goods?
