Kimberly Hardy is running for Congress in the southeastern NC district where I grew up and often visit. A high poverty, high crime area that desperately needs an intelligent, empathetic representative who will work for the people, especially people of color and women.

For those of us not in the cult, this is what we hear when anyone from the Trump administration speaks.
For the people in the back, this is satire and so well done…

I finally settled on a scheme for my 2026 tapestry diary. Still weather themed with a coded color for every five degree range of temperature from 0 to 100 F, but the high temp for each day color is on the bottom of each tiny rectangle and the low temp is on the top. #tapestrydiary #tapestry #weaving

However, the problem with this plan is that it always takes up more time than I intend, and I want my focus to be on tapestry and new tapestry designs for this year.

I've had this painting on my bedroom closet door for a long time - this is often an incubation space for me.

Rich people really are clueless about how most healthcare is in the US. (see comments in OG post) What I remember about our health crisis while visiting Scotland is how surprised we were that the ambulance was free, and also how money or insurance was not mentioned at the A&E.
The UK is very different from Medicare. In Medicare you can mostly go to a specialist of your choice. Not in the UK
This is how most UHC works. Will Americans be ok with this change to Medicare ?

I tried this in Notepad and it worked. What I found interesting was that the redacted part that Notepad showed did not identify anyone. Did they simply redact some parts at random?
All right people so literally I downloaded one of the government documents to Books on my iPad. I highlighted some text that was not redacted and it included some that was redacted and I copied it over to notes and I pasted it and you can see everything unredacted.

I had a great dream last night - I was a major bad-ass and kicked the crap out of an ICE agent and rescued some people. Maybe I should take some kung fu lessons because that was one fun dream.

It broke my heart when Hurricane Helene devastated so much here last year just after I left.

I know the real concern is the lack of journalistic integrity but I think the real crime here is seeing this face and thinking to yourself "yes I need more of that" His eyes don't even line up. This is a clear case of royals inbreeding
