That’s a non-apology intended to shame the one he harmed.

No, he can’t. No one can run for VP thst is not eligible to run for president. But since when does ‘he can’t do that’ mean anything.

Someone I thought I was on same page with, a brit, has been posting things on fb about how kind and caring he was, and not to pay attention to the clips being posted. She insists he was about self-acceptance and realizing potential. I don’t get it.

As someone who used to do this from the Canadian side, was thinking this as well. It’s a real business opportunity for people on both sides.

“Go ahead, it’s a free country” my son said. He was baiting me. He knew the tirade I would unleash, and I did. Folks, we do not live in a free country. I know I am preaching to the choir here. But we need to come out and say it as it is. To everyone. (My son agrees, it was a mood)

So, in Harrisburg, OR, the annual “old fashioned 4th of July” fireworks started like this: the first few lighted the field across the river from the town. Engines from the towns on both sides put it out, and the fireworks resumed. (Historically that field is hay, likely not yet cut)

Close encounters. I am guessing the canine is more vicious than the feline and I have the scars to prove it 🤪.

On my soapbox again. Whatever person nurtured you, who shaped who you are, the one you turn/ed to when you need/ed a friend, that is “mom”. That is the human who mothered you. Don’t let another person dismiss you by saying that person is not your “real” mom. Dismiss them!

4/4 Things can go south for all of us. Some will be frustrating but not life changing like mine. But make no mistake, tens of thousands - perhaps soon millions - are being irremediably harmed by this regime. Take a stand if you haven’t yet. ///

2/? I’ve been on SS survivors for years. I thought the cutbacks wouldnt affect me for “awhile”. But something happened with my account - tech snafu? - and fixing it is proving difficult and energy draining, which for a chronically ill disabled person means less health. A dear one told me “you

So I’ve had to call SSA 3x this wk. Hour+ on hold each, issue still unresolved. Next step going in (hopefully in person workers better informed- but with all the cuts, possibly not). But i have to make an appt first - fortunately I am in an urban area. Now, please pay attn: 1/?

4/4 then take a hike together, or a bbq at your house. Bottom line - you arent a friend if you see the disability and not the beautiful person. You’re a dick.

1/? An acquaintance posted something today that has spurred this rant. RE: going places with disabled persons. If you consider someone a friend, but won’t go anywhere with them because of their disability, then you are NOT a friend. Be you, that’s fine, but don’t pretend you are a friend.
