Just got a call from my orthotist about my new braces. It will only be about $1,000 out of pocket for me.

This country is incapable of single payer health care yet we can spend billions every day on some war to distract the country from the fact that we have a pedofile narcissist at the helm.

These past couple of weeks have been insanely busy and I could sure use a break at some point.

Maybe later this week I will get a respite?

Next week I will be on the road again and back to the frozen Midwest so it will be good to experience some cold versus this heat and humidity!

Congratulations Microslop!

I have had to waste an hour plus of my day on the phone with IT trying to diagnosis your bullshit software, just so I can do the most basic task of communicating via email.

How have you dropped the ball so badly?

Backyard vegetable gardens are healthy for people and the planet. Here's how to start yours The healthiest and most climate-conscious food is local, and organic, and in-season. A vegetable garden in the backyard ticks all of those boxes.

It’s getting to be that time again.
I love getting tips, suggestions and advice on home vegetable gardens. My thumb isn’t the greenest but I always try.

It's a #MustWatch for every Working-class Poor & Middle-class American. The message was produced by the War Department (Department of Defense) after WWII !!

The video is well worth watching to the end, because it is a little slow getting to the important part.

It has been a long and tiring couple of weeks of work with a colleague here from Europe. His flight out was (supposed to be) today and now he is stuck here over the weekend.

Instead of spending a nice relaxing weekend in my pajamas, I now have to go back out in public and socialize.

Yikes!

Being surrounded by brain dead cultists has done nothing positive for my mental health and well being.

Watching friends and family show their true colors with racism and embracing fascism has been heart breaking.

Only makes me feel that more alone.

Just had a friend from my support group reach out to me for a "Wellness Check".

I have been pretty busy as of late, so I suppose I should check back in every once in awhile to let people know I am still alive.

Post image Sulpicia (fl. late 1st century BCE) was one of the very few known female poets of ancient Rome whose work has survived, offering a rare glimpse into the inner world of a Roman woman. Associated with the literary circle of the poet Tibullus, she wrote a small but striking body of elegiac poems expressing love, desire, and personal emotion, and the first and only known woman from that era associated with comedic writing. She was also known for openly discussing and writing poems about female sexual desire
Unlike the idealized women often portrayed in Roman love poetry, Sulpicia spoke for herselfβ€”boldly and authenticallyβ€”writing of her passion for a man named Cerinthus. Her poems break from convention by celebrating female agency in love, an unusual and daring subject for her time.
Though only six short poems are definitively attributed to her, Sulpicia’s voice stands out for its honesty, wit, and literary skill.

We are seeing nothing but lies, brutality & destruction across the board from this administration. We cannot ignore it.

Trump's paramilitary savages are dangerous to everyone & are being used to strip us of our rights.

Call Congress at 202-224-3121 & demand accountability.

Listen to the astronauts.

Earth is the only home we’ll ever have.

It is miraculous.

It is a rare jewel in the infinite void of space.

We must protect it, not blow it up.

We are all one people.

There is no place for greed, ignorance, and hate.

We all need the Overview Effect.

Love this highly relatable story about chimps being obsessed with crystals. "The researchers ended up needing to trade large amounts of bananas and yogurt to get back the largest crystal. Others were never retrieved."

I ran across an article yesterday that was giving advice on maintaining adult friendships and said that 'proximity' was a key factor. In my experience, some of the longest lasting friendships I have are from 'foreigners' in other countries.

I am realizing Americans might just be assholes?
