My buddy took me to Wisconsin and it was preposterously awesome. A chickadee ate from my freaking hand! It was so tiny, it had no weight, I could only feel its tiny talons
I’m perplexed why sunrise is 12 seconds later than sunrise is earlier. Why aren’t those numbers the same? I bet @svensundgaard.bsky.social can explain it
The sun will rise in #Minneapolis #SaintPaul #Minnesota tomorrow at 7:10, 82 seconds later than the day before.
It will set at 16:44, 60 seconds earlier than the day before.

A kind reminder to myself and any other survivors of abuse/assault who need it: Certain news cycles are going to make your symptoms worse.
Even if you block all the terms you can think of everywhere blocking’s an option, names and details will likely slip through. (1/2)

They “aggressively tackle clergy.” Just no words
faith leaders and demonstrators tried to take beach street, which has been shut down to car traffic for weeks.
immediately, cook county sheriff’s police, state police, and broadview pd moved in to aggressively tackle clergy, drag protesters across the ground and arrest at least 3-4 people.

at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Polling on rape and child trafficking implies there is more than one way to view the issue, which there is not. It is morally wrong, criminal, and not subject to approval ratings.

PSA: If you yourself weren’t sexually abused as a kid, someone you care about definitely was. It’s just that common, alas. So if you or someone you care about is struggling with the news right now, that’s normal! This stuff is dredging up a lot of people’s worst memories. Be kind out there, folks
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

“He likened himself to Gulliver shipwrecked among the diminutive denizens of Lilliput. ‘Gulliver’s playfulness had unintended consequences,’ Mr. Epstein said. ‘That is what happens with wealth. There are unexpected burdens’”
