I knew who I was this morning, but I’ve changed a few times (and platforms) since then. I regret to report I still have a lot of opinions. Hobbies: writing, horror, cheese.
That reminds me, this email pissed me off today almost as much as the below text.

I saw this last night & I think it is good and correct and what real leadership in this moment looks like. It’s not what people want to hear, it IS what we need to hear tho.
And I am a blue dot in a very rural part of a southern state so trust me when I say I get being mad as hell at folks, too.

Can’t imagine why anyone would suggest Substack in this moment. If you’re not aware, they platform Nazi’s and always have and have no intention of stopping, so stop giving them your clicks and your money. Here are several news articles as a highlight:

God forbid kids be exposed to a wide variety of thoughts, cultures and writing amiright?
So funny how reading Hebrew scripture is woke but reading the Gospels is fine. Ironically I looked at the Fall/Spring lists and only Luke & John are currently present. “The Quran” is not even listed by name.

I was looking for a specific article from Axios with a graph in it I’d seen elsewhere so I googled “Axios job report numbers” and … all this in the past 24-ish hours.

I wish I knew where this was published but there’s no citation and no alt text, which is why I’m reposting as a screenshot w/ alt. I’m mostly curious bc, generally speaking, American newspapers don’t report on the United States antics in destabilizing democracies/countries so plainly, nor so timely.

Just not even subtle, extremely weird behavior.

FYI there appears to be a weirdo in your mentions impersonating you, they blocked me upon calling them out so wasn’t sure if my replies to them would be trapped by the block. I reported after seeing I was blocked as it seemed suspicious, would recommend others also report for impersonation.

This is wild for a lot of reasons but, if you made it this far in his thread, it’s worth noting someone who doesn’t understand sexism and misogyny are imbedded in religion and culture is probably not worth engaging with intellectually on this topic (or any of the others he brought up).

It’s been a tough yet incredibly fun year (as mother nature is) in the vege garden 🌱 while half the plants we toiled over were ravished, we had TWO produce volunteers in locations we are known to dump food to feed the deer.
Here is our first watermelon and (what I fondly refer to as) DITCH CORN.
