Can't help but notice that POTUS hasn't yet ordered flags to half-staff for the deaths of at least 7 US service members.
But man, he was awfully quick to lower them for Charlie Kirk.
Our governor gets to appoint the replacement, and he's guaranteed to appoint from the GOP. OTOH, whoever gets appointed can't run for the seat this fall. But this is Oklahoma, so...
But we don't want him back!
Truth.
Maybe I need to go back to hand-writing.
One of the biggest problems with the sanitized way far too many Americans understand history is that we do not believe our country has ever done anything wrong. So we never even arrive at considering how we have directly harmed those who see us as enemies today.
This was the only moral option for Alabama.

This is my shocked face. I'm just gobsmacked that no one considered this possibility.

A song called “Dedication Song” sent me down a path of thinking about faith, belief, and life as an atheist among believers. Turns out you can disagree with someone’s beliefs and still hope their dreams come true.

Yeah, that's me. A radical leftist to the core.
I've heard evangelicals say the same thing about the genocides in the bible.
I got called a leftist on FB today because I was advocating for age-appropriate sex education, more affordable birth control, and reduced prenatal healthcare costs to help lower the teen birth and abortion rates.
Took my grandma to one of those fish spas where the tiny fish eat all the dead skin.
It took forever, but $90 was way cheaper than a funeral.
Not the best-phrased headline ever, but this news warms my heart. They're disinterring them because they have enough family DNA samples to finally identify them.

Authors everywhere are nodding their heads vigorously.
This week’s WWBC post: Why I’m glad time travel isn’t real.
Yes, really.
From Hitler paradoxes to Black Death germs and alternate timelines, I’m not convinced we’d survive our own curiosity.

40¢ hike overnight here in NE Oklahoma.
This is...interesting. Note that the female character was 18 and only pretending to be a toddler. If she'd written about someone having sex with a furry, would that be considered bestiality?

Great points, though I question the phrase, "worthwhile books." How is that defined, exactly, and who gets to write the definition?
Homeschooling isn’t for everyone—and neither is writing polite obituaries.
This week: insulin pump upgrades, honest obituaries, and hard questions about educational choices and accountability.

My trigger was cooking so damned much of it at a Big Boy restaurant.
So what are we calling this latest Middle East war?
Nice move
Dick move, Kansas. Dick move.
Wait - creatives can DO something like that? #writingcommunity #amwriting

How have I never thought of this before?
But don't you want to play bingo? (Yeah, I'm not watching it either.)
This is a Good Thing™ for Oklahoma Death Row inmates. Incarcerated people, even those under a death sentence, are still human beings. The definition of "custody" includes the concept of caring for the inmate, including their mental health.

I don't want to believe this movie is 40 years old, because that would mean I'm old, and I'm not old.
But it was a great movie. Never saw the sequel or the remake, and I don't feel like I'm missing much.
