I was born in a refugee camp. People in refugee camps are not there by choice, they are in desperate circumstances, many of them are children, and they are defenseless and vulnerable. Refugee camps should never be a target under any circumstances.

Sunset from 10,000 feet in New Mexico's Sangre de Cristo Mountains. One is so high, and the sky so large, that it feels as if you can see the blackness of space in the upper atmosphere before the sun even drops below the horizon.

one of the funnier book to screen transformations is frankenstein's monster being a silent, lurching creature when in the books he just cannot stop giving melodramatic monologues? he talks SO MUCH about like the ineffable human spirit & poetry and the movie monster is like "gruhhhhhhh"

Here's a few frogs found over the last week. Middle Tennessee has quite a decent diversity of frogs around and a lot of them are very pretty! 🐸
1) Green Treefrog
2) Spring Peeper
3) Cope's Gray Treefrog
4) Bird-voiced Treefrog - This one in particular is very hard to find around here.

If you thought "let's ask about Trump at a diner full of Trump fans" was bad reporting, pull up a seat for "let's ask about Mike Johnson at a diner where his own mother is holding court."

Hi, in addition to being ridiculous, this isn't an ancient Christian therapy method. Tim LaHaye invented it in a book called The Spirit-Controlled Temperament in 1966. LaHaye also coauthored the Left Behind series & wrote a bunch of terrible sex ed books & homophobic screeds.
