Oakland. Snapdragon Tamer. Night Gardener.
I mostly post about gardens, animals and basketball (mute the 🏀 symbol if you don't care to hear about it). Sometimes cocktails, music, or history.

So freaking dumb. Adding another layer of unneeded administration on the basis of fake crime, so that corporations can fleece the government for tax dollars that could be going to care for people.
I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:
"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

I'm trying to get my 80yo Dad to sell his house in Rio Vista and get a condo in the Piedmont Ave/Grand Lake neighborhood. I found this... map-like object attached to one condo listing.
Can't wait to visit Grand Lake Bitch. I hope he/she/they/it will be my friend.

Spent some time alone in the desert today. 28 degrees when I arrived just after sunrise, in the low fifties when I left at lunchtime. Found some things. Here are phone pics of some other things. 🌿🌵

Only catching a few clips here and there, but I feel for these Wolves players. It can’t be easy to hoop when your city is under siege. They don’t look like themselves and it’s easy to understand why. 🏀

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.
