You know all those cool Mars novels about terraforming, like Green Mars, etc?You can do that in your yard. Plant native shit. Don’t spray. Weed by hand. Scoop beetles into soapy water. You may find you have an interesting yard and less time to watch TV, but in the evening you can watch bumble bees.

Started watching Queers with Daniel Craig. Had to stop after 45 minutes, because of the 24x7 smoking and drinking. Not to be all church lady, but yuck. Will try to finish it tonight.

Susan Collins actually did something I approve of! Probably because she thinks it won't matter but help her look concerned?

Vance: Our message to Denmark is very simple: You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland. You have underinvested in the people of Greenland.
Me: Greenland, come visit West Virginia to see how we invest in people.

Just wrote Sen Collins asking if she was concerned that Sec of Def, Sec of State and others include random journalists while discussing natl secrets. Asked for a response, which I'm 100% sure I will not receive.

I feel like I should drive to the border and wave an "I'm Sorry" sign. It's not too far. Gotta pick the right crossing though. Some of them are super quiet, except for the trucks loaded down with fentanyl.

A no shopping day is fine, but we all need to stop feeding the machine, period. Ditch Amazon. Buy local. Shop small businesses. Visit farmer markets.

I think google is evil and deliberately misreads my taps to redirect me to profitable sites. Sadly, my fingers are not that large. Also, my eyes ain’t that bad. Discuss.
