My head is generally higher elevation than my rear end when i am awake.
today’s affirmation: I am within the acceptable range of deviation. I am a perfectly roasted quail. if I was a car the mechanics would find nothing weird or rodent related in my air filter. I am upright. There are no stones or excess debris in my shoes. I still have all my bones.

Republicans have tanked the economy and turned the country into a corrupt autocracy. But my NPR-loving neighbor has been giving me a hard time about my gas-powered leaf blower. I've never felt more politically homeless.

little-known fact outside the beltway but this past year The Handbasket has become THE outlet read by (and leaked to by) civil servants who have something to say, please kick some $ or get a subscription if you haven't already
today instead of buying barely discounted crap, get a paid subscription to an independent media outlet! a little $ goes a long way towards supporting a free press. 🗞️
drop links to your own or your faves in the replies so ppl can easily sign up (bonus if you add a couple words about why it’s good!):

If you read Tatiana Schlossberg’s essay in the New Yorker yesterday and want to learn more about her work, here’s an interview she sat down for when she was promoting her book “Inconspicuous Consumption.”
Tatiana Schlossberg On The Power Of Our ‘Inconspicuous Consumption’
A new report finds global efforts to combat climate change over the past several years have been "gravely insufficient,” and according to the Global Commission on Adaptation, it's not so much money, but rather a lack of political leadership that's the source of the problem. A new book from former New York Times science reporter Tatiana Schlossberg details ways in which our everyday choices in clothing, technology, food and fuel contribute to the problem — and how consumers can make a difference by demanding more of the companies and governments behind the systems at play. Jim Braude was joined by Tatiana Schlossberg.

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
