As I try to get back into long-form blogging, I'm wondering if Dreamwidth is the right platform. I can control who has access to my posts (which I don't want to be public), but I'm not sure how many potential readers have Dreamwidth or OpenID accounts.
Thoughts?

Pretty sure Baby Jesus would think daily beggars are just as deserving of cheer and figgy pudding as neighbors' children (or friendly neighbors, depending on who's singing). That line has bothered me for the longest time.

The moral of the story, kids: It’s fine to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power and incite a mob to storm the Capitol and do all you can to overturn an election as long as you run again and win 🇺🇸

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back.

Confession time: I hate "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" (the song, not the show). It's just the most commercial of all Christmas songs! Ugh.

So they're building pickleball courts at Wichita State, and planning on eventually chopping down some old trees for space.
Trees > pickleball, dammit. Find some other place! One thing I miss most about the campus is the foliage. What's next, axe Fiske Hall just because it's old?

Frustration of the Day: recipes that are YouTube videos.
I just want to read it, dang it! Why does everything have to be a video these days? Text is simpler and easier, at least for me.
