I try not to make assumptions about anyone.
I enjoy continuing learning and conversations on just about any topics.
I live on the little Blue "island" of Nashville, TN, in a state of red.

For the record, I understand how economics works, but when it literally costs $10 for a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter, things are out of control!

All of this!
Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

I took this photo last week while waiting for the pharmacy to reopen after lunch. I was mesmerized by how green and lush the grass was for a mid November day.

Are we to understand that no federal official is going to protect individual federal workers from the harassment that Musk is already enabling in his new position?
These are real people who don’t deserve the cruelty to which they will be exposed. The govt that hired them should protect them.

People prefer the lies to the truth, because in the lies they are really important.
So here's a truth where you are really important, you should own everything that is essential, Water, Power, Banking, Healthcare, Housing, Public Transport.
All should be excellent and free from profit.
