Please remind me to go read a long-bookmarked post (and I often share them), so my bookmarks don't stay out-of-sight-out-of-mind.
All of my favorite albums when I was young were released in 1994, but though I wouldn't call it "perfect", one I remember really enjoying from 1998 is this one:

There's a close race in *Danville* Virginia

It's now looking unlikely again, but this is a close result. Hopefully that means we get more party funding since we're now a competitive district! 😁

A good day to be a Democrat in Virginia!

Holy crap, could we flip this very red district??

Early votes, which lean Dem, aren't even counted yet, and the split in Harrisonburg, VA (where I live) is more than 70/30!

#NoKings #NoKingsHarrisonburg #NoKingsVirginia

I'll post a thread of some of the signs cropped from photos I took at the No Kings March in Harrisonburg, Virginia, today.

Unfortunately, there were two overlapping events that didn't coordinate with each other, so split the crowd!

Here's me

And here's my other tank, which was my first aquarium (since childhood) and isn't "aquascaped", but is stuffed with plants! I learned how to grow the aquatic plants before I added fish.

This 10 gallon tank has a pretty large population of neocaridina shrimp, 3 nerite snails, and 6 ember tetras.
