“Grandiloquent Word of the Day” meme featuring the word “Piepowder.” The definition reads: “A traveller, particularly one on foot; a wayfarer; specifically, a traveling merchant.” To the right is a Victorian-style engraving of a wandering peddler wearing a top hat and long coat, carrying a shoulder yoke with boxes and goods hanging from either end, suggesting a traveling salesman moving through a town. Below the definition is a short example sentence about a piepowder passing through a village each Michaelmas.
Piepowder [PIE-pow-dur]
(n.)
- A traveller, particularly one on foot; a wayfarer; specifically, a traveling merchant.

Well now that’s disturbing.
Republicans gets elected president. Cuts benefits for the poor and cuts taxes for the rich. Starts a war in the Middle East. Always the same thing.
Come on, folks, at least the addition of pedophilia is new! Because we always limbo lower than before…
Yeah, I live 60 miles from there. Come visit. ;)
Yup. Another poll tax! I’ve already got my trip planned for this year but it ain’t cheap!
It’s got me worried as an expat.
And would they even enforce it in Republican districts?

Today is the four year anniversary of the barbaric full scale invasion against the peaceful people of Ukraine.
Peaceful, until roused to defend themselves….

Here. Just because.
I promise you, it is also inspiring.
Uncle Jeffy Tiedrich says today in his newsletter:
"Here’s one sure way you can tell you’re living in a shithole country: when the following two headlines appear one after another."
US/UK citizen supporting Canada. It’s their game, love when they reclaim it. But they’ve missed some chances here. Nerve wracking!
For all my friends and family in these states: you need to be rechecking your registration frequently!
Hmmm, bet there’s a few who don’t want to admit in a poll they won’t vote for a black woman. But hey, we have to get behind whomever wins!
They’re planning for when they get a president who is sane and can remake the US as they want it. Bad luck to be in power when there’s an idiot. They have to walk that line of empowering a future unitary executive without giving the current one enough juice to bring the whole thing crashing down.
He was a leaf on the wind! :)
