So they blew a bunch of money AND illegally stole our personal data, compromising our social security numbers AND made services worse? All at the command of an adjudicated rapist. And we are all just expected to accept it because it makes somebody rich even richer? What is even happening?!

The USA continues to behave in ways that makes the rest of the world hate us—so much so that they wanted to destroy the world trade towers. We’ve learned nothing.

Like clockwork at the August/September border, ringless honey mushrooms. Eatable and edible but not choice. These are in my yard and came up overnight, so I should grab em and cook em before the bugs get there but not sure that I will.

It’s #blackcatappreciationday We wanted a black cat specifically because they often don’t get adopted. Our Cleopatra has been an…exciting…addition to our crew. She’s so loving…to people at least. 😆

I’m hosting a rare ladies night tomorrow and invented a cocktail for it. When I got home from looking for tiny umbrellas, i found my neighbors had put this bar cart out for the trash. Fortuitous!! 🍹

If anybody needs to hear this, you can take an Ioniq 5 from NC to OH stopping only once to charge for 25 minutes. I heard so much about range and time and anxieties from everyone on our trip. We are fine! More than fine!

I am shocked/amazed at the level of discourse on, of all places, LinkedIn, about AI. Unlike here, it’s a deep intellectual/philosophical discourse from all sorts of perspectives and so cool! Like this woman www.linkedin.com/in/natalieda... Actually real intellectual community. Can’t believe it.
