You’re “friendly” neighborhood hermit. Dog lover, mom, and political junkie. I love photos of nature. I just never get out in it to take them anymore. 😢 I am prone to typos as I have a disorder that causes my hands to shake called Essential Tremor.

Nah I’ll run about naked in preference to being warm. 😂 I grew up in the snow belt in the 60s and 70s. I used up all the body heat I’d ever have during enforced family snowman building, walking half a mile to and from school, and just being booted outside for “Playtime.” No thank you!

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

it's not just that 450+ people were kidnapped from the Hyundai facility in Georgia this morning- it's that the vast majority were employees that had been vetted by the E-Verify program by the same shits that took them. the rest were employees of Hyundai from So Korea, here on work visas. 🤦

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth. It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.
