You know what else democracy requires? Proper spelling. The image shows a sign with the missing "u" in requires added.
Nothing like noticing a typo a few days after the protest.
I stand by my position! My spelling, not so much.

Me holding a sign that says "Democracy requires limits to power."
Wow! What a successful #nokings protest! There was a massive turnout down at Falls Park Amphitheater, but since we had some mobility-limited people with us, our group actually stayed up on Main Street so we could share our signs with passing cars! Lots of positive energy at a peaceful protest
Thinking Ink Press has just launched a Kickstarter for the next book in our writing line, Writing Memoir in Flashes! This is a great way to tell your story one bite at a time!

My friend in words Nisi Shawl is working on a book called "The Five Petals of Thought" which will be a real version of a philosophy book she's written about fictionally. If you want to help make it happen, she's got a Go Fund Me which is still accepting donations: www.gofundme.com/f/help-nisi-...
Justice demands due process! The No Kings protest is happening today to remind everyone that democracy requires limits to power! Find your protest here:

I took two naps with two different cliques of cats today. It was wonderful. But I'm reminded of the proverb:
"A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber."
I just don't know how to balance self-care and responsibility. :-/

This is the longest Loki (short for Loquacious(ness)) has stayed in the same room with Loli(pop(kins)), Lily(pad(skis)) and Luna(tic(les)). Yes, their common names are all 4-letter words starting with L (Loki Lily Loli Luna), so I call them the L^4.
The search for detente continues. #loquaciousness
A part of a car, a long trail of debris, and a dead AT&T equipment box looking like a tombstone.
So, here's a sentence I never expected to write:
A car ran over the Internet.
I wonder what happened. But the impact was ... kinetic. The neighbor's mailbox was reduced to brick shrapnel and the AT&T equipment box was hurled all the way into our yard, along with a piece of the assailant's car.
