A lefty living in the Palouse with connections to other parts of ID & WA. I engage with people with different perspectives, but I don't have time for bigots. I enjoy the outdoors and am trying to make sense of this crazy world.

It's nice to have the kid home for Thanksgiving week. The house is more alive, and it encourages me to cook and bake. Tonight she just wanted pizza, but I've made bread and I'll do more and some lemon cake and brownies later this week. Squash is cooking in the oven for events later.

Hey, @CNN, hitting a Russian weapons depot—a perfectly reasonable military target—isn't a "major escalation". The Russian invasion of Ukraine with the intent to conquer it WAS a major escalation. Ukraine's self defense is not.

Scientists say the pocket gophers were cranky about being moved into a devastated landscape for a day in 1980. But decades later, their short visit still has visible, and vibrant, effects.

They stoked hatred and prejudice to score political points and show they were “doing something” in response to the attack.
I see the same thing happening today with the trans community. They are politically vulnerable and the subject of attack ads and bullying. It is shameful and wrong. /2

It is so sinisterly illustrative that the GOP can take the house, senate, presidency, a majority in the supreme court to last decades, and yet still be totally fixated on destroying the lives of a handful of teenage trans girls as if it were a matter of national security.

I hope legislators retain Social Security's Windfall Elimination Provision. Repealing it would benefit states where state employees don't contribute to Social Security, giving them privileges and bankrupting Social Security for the rest of us.
