I woke with a tremendous feeling of longing and sadness.
I didn't know why, but I was missing my friend..more than friend. Moose.
It wasn't until later in the morning that the Mrs. let me know it was the anniversary of his passing. It was a date I never put in my calendar.
Man, I miss you.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The military runs on obedience. When orders cross moral or legal lines, the remedy isn’t rebellion, it’s political accountability.
So, all of those cries for soldiers to disobey orders? Yeah, not going to happen (well, I mean, it could, but they're going to be courtmartialed).

Ok, for clarity. This wasn’t a random shower thought. This is a thing here in the Netherlands.
Imagine a world where if you are in crutches as a pedestrian, you have right of way at a crossing.
Also imagine a world, at the same crossing, if you are in a wheelchair, you do not have right of way.
Why?
Because, you are sitting and already "waiting."
Things that make me go "hmmmm..."

Some of y’all have become so addicted to shitting on Democrats that you don’t even realize you’re doing it.
Fix your shit because it really is a form of voter suppression within our own ranks.

It is Carl Sagan Day today.
I had a chance to meet him, at the Hutch when he was getting cancer treatment; what a great man.
His memory compelled me to finally get my supermoon picture off my phone to share.

As a young virologist, many moons ago at the Fred Hutch in Seattle, I had the opportunity to hear him speak and meet him afterwards.
He didn’t disappoint with his misogynistic tirades; I left his presentation and didn’t think about him again.
Disgusting.

DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”
