These appeared from empty pots. I like the word “sport” in gardening, meaning a surprise genetic mutation, but I’m applying it to when something apparently arises from nothing. Good sports 🙂

I’m at the LARP with the Obsolete faction, fixing discarded robots. Combat rules are complex with “will” tokens, skill cards & a calamity (chance) wheel. We had a quest to t Undergrid to get discarded parts, but I fell asleep before midnight so must find out what I missed before t next game period.

I’ll agree that the fault is with the electorate—specifically those who did not vote at all. But don’t overlook the millions of Americans who did vote, who voted against him, & yet also have to deal with the worldwide harm, profound misery and unrelenting distress he is causing the U.S.

The difference between “majority” and “plurality” is where you’re stumbling (see attached). The terrible business of the electoral college distorts our U.S. election process; in Germany your voting system is fairer and more direct. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Un...

Aftermath of this week’s storm! My hiking friend for scale in the first downed tree root cavity. Second photo is of a great splinter of wood that had come down like an arrow and pierced the ground. Some huge trees down, including a great oak that got twisted into a dragon. #middlerunvalley #Delaware

Amazing assortment of fungi in Middle Run Valley (Newark DE) yesterday after the storm, including the one in the first photo I took here that looked dangerous but I found out later was Amonita jacksonii—edible! #fungi #amonita

I teach for a cancer support community. This administration’s “Big Beautiful Bill” cuts to U.S. Medicaid and Medicare coverage are already causing harm to people with cancer, and the big bite of the cuts’ effects won’t come until after this year’s midterm elections. Here are some people’s stories:

Our parents celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary at the weekend, and still make each other chuckle. Here Dad was putting Mum’s ring back on—it was resized because of arthritis in her knuckle—and asking if she’d still have him. They’re 98 and 94.

Protesting tonight (Main St Newark DE) we had a 50:50 chance of being hit by a thunderstorm, but the rain held off. We were boosted by a tremendous amount of support from the drivers passing by. #protestusa #protestsigns #impeachconvictremove

Made a new sign for our weekly #protest in Newark DE tonight. We’ve been here every Friday since DJT took office. Tonight the temp dropped a degree to 100°F, “feels like” 112°F according to the weather app (that’s 38°C, “feels like” 44°C). Came home and had a cold shower. #remove #highcrimesgrifter

We started a weekly rush hour protest in our town and have kept it going for 17 months so far, through ice, rain, & summer heat. We get a few hecklers, but those are—by far—outweighed by appreciation, and we’ve been thanked on social media by people from all over the U.S. We’re all in this together.

Last night’s rush hour protest, Main St Newark DE. Much appreciation from cars & passersby. Also had a hug & a handshake from a couple of sports guys who appreciated my “Black Voters Matter Too!” sign. Fell flat over a lumpy sidewalk on the way home but landed mostly on my sign, which saved my face.
