The further I go to the Left, the more I discover how we could do things right! I love camping, learning from good science communicators, and finding contentment through minimalism. My pronouns are "he/him", and I'm an LGBTQIA2S+ ally.
We grabbed breakfast in the morning, and then participated in a local #NoKings event. Now it is time for a dinner date with my lovely wife at a Japanese steakhouse.

My #NoKings experience as the dangerous #Antifa threat suddenly emerged in Gurnee, IL. Oh the humanity!

My wife is also studying Spanish with me. We're planning to visit Mexico to celebrate completing the entire Duolingo program. It isn't the only resource I'm using, but it is fun and gives me a way to practice anytime and anywhere.

Goodbye, my furry little friend, Jade. I will miss you!

She was only 8 lbs at the most, but she was full of energy and affection. She was being treated for heart disease, but her poor little body couldn't take it anymore. She passed away in my arms this morning. #HugYourPup

"I'm voting for Trump because of his economic policies." - Far Too Many Voters in 2024

Uh-huh. How is that working out so far?

Reminder that billionaires don't create jobs.

Billionaires create Killionaires.

Just look at how those who hoarded the wealth were treated after every revolution when the people finally got ahold of them.

Punk & Politics

@laurajanegrace.bsky.social at the @sanders.senate.gov rally in Kenosha, WI.

This is why we will win in the end. Those we oppose wheel out Scott Baio and Kid Rock. The "comfortable" worn out corporate products of yesterday.

We bring the revolution.

Wife's job as a caregiver is threatened by cuts to Medicare & Medicaid. Mom's Social Security checks might not arrive anymore. Daughter's university education might be cut short due to Dept of Education cuts. All of them have their rights as women under threat.

But eggs are on sale!

Searched for the Gulf of Mexico, got this result.

How can I continue to use Google Maps if they will just rename locations and bodies of water on a whim?

This little guy had surgery to remove a benign tumor from his right eyelid. He had the stitches removed a day ago. I've been teasing my wife by calling him "Nick Furry". 😀
