Frustrating day in the #woodshop today. Cut 20 drawer slides nearly perfectly. Went to start on the grant and backs and checked the width of the sides…. To find that I’d cut the sides out of 3/4 plywood instead of 1/2. #wooworking

If you are blaming “being trans” for this school shooting, you might also want to know that 95-98% of school shootings are male and an overwhelming majority are heterosexual. Maybe we shouldn’t let THOSE people have guns.

Pete Hegseth is a petty bitch
Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office.

Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.
