This is a belt buckle from 1938 Germany. NAZIS saying “God With Us”. Right from the #KKK and passed on to #MAGA It’s a fascist cult.

A MAGA neighbor in IN called me A God Damn California Liberal when I was actually a moderate GOP (that changed in 2016) They sold their cottage and left a lot of very personal things. They also sold their barn/workshop where he left behind his NAZI memorabilia. He moved to FL 🤣 IT’S A CULT.

I love that the Insanity of #Hoosier football going to the championship is bringing a bit of happiness, humanity and positivity to the Insanity of our country right now. Praying for our fellow BigTen state of Minnesota to survive this regime retaliation and come out stronger. #CFP

Indiana University’s previous School of Journalism was named after Ernie Pyle. He was a folksie US writer and War Correspondent who died in action in the Pacific. He was anti fascist. IU has been trying to shut down journalists and journalism on campus. May the Ernie Pyle Scholars fight on!

When one’s Alma mater FINALLY proves to the world (US) that they have a football team, one celebrates with leftover pizza breakfast even though one hasn’t been to Mother Bears in 45 years. It’s a B1G deal! #Hoosiers #football #pizza #B1G

My daughter is wicked smart funny and cute and single. I was visiting her in the wine country with her friend and said “You need to meet someone like @jackschlossberg.bsky.social . She looked at me like “how do you know who he is?” turned away, then turned back and said “you’re right”. Nailed it.

Canceling my trip to an Indiana lake. First summer in 51 that I won’t be there. It’s too hot and it’s too red. Staying cool in blue California. Now I just need to go explore at home.

Just some flowers in #California. It’s beautiful here. We also love so many our residents who may not be US documented but are our friends and pay taxes via their TIN. They contribute so much to our economy and our lives. It’s too unsafe for them to return. #ICE #IceRaids

#DDAY My father was billeted in Wales before DDay. These are pictures of him and his fellow corpsmen and some of the local girls. Their CO let them have last day of fun, knowing what was coming. They were supposed to be DDay+7 but so many medics were killed, they sent them to Omaha Beach DDay+1

I lost my favorite white jean jacket a few years back. Loved it. Had lunch with a GF today and complemented her on her cute jacket, she said, thanks, it’s just an old one I’ve had for a while. Then I saw the buttons and knew it was mine since she never shops at that store. Looks good on her.

@blueskyartshow.bsky.social On a hike to see Searsville lake, a hidden gem, part of Stanford land, we came upon this generation circle of redwoods or #fairycircle Likely from an old growth redwood that was harvested a century or more ago. #underneath #blueskyartshow

In St Croix USVI is a former sugar plantation now used to regrow coral to implant back into the nearby reefs so future generations can see the beauty and feel their usefulness. The “stones” in the buildings were made of coral removed from the reef centuries ago. #texture #blueskyartshow

Our last night in Costa Rica we did a nature hike looking for owls, reptiles and spiders. We had this surprise sighting of the Red Eyed Tree Frogs. It was off season for them, but a few unseasonal storms at night made them a bit randy. #green #blueskyartshow #travel #photography #CostaRica

Today’s #BlueskyArtShow theme is #green. Normally I would jump back to Ireland photos because…green. However, I stopped on a bike ride in rural Indiana to take a photo of 🌽 because my cousins friend eviscerated me for saying stalks could have more than one ear. People of the jury, I present 🌽🌽

My daughter loved literature classes. Once in HS, her teacher told her to quit raising her hand so other kids could respond. So she did 😤 No one else answered questions. Teacher kept looking at her to respond. She kept her hand down. Still got the A but hopefully the teacher learned her lesson.

Last year an extremely conservative, gay & trans hating priest gave our Lenten retreat. (I fumed) Besides expressing the above, he blamed @harvard.edu and @stanfordpress.bsky.social as the reason people left The Church. The hate for higher education and thinking is deep seated in US “Christianity”

I woke up at 3:30am to the memory of the #HOPE that I (former Republican) felt watching @kamalaharris.com speak at the DNC convention. My daughters and I all cried, FILLED with hope. Well, that’s gone now, along with a huge chunk of my savings/retirement. Our country is an embarrassment.

It was my birthday today. My younger sister checked in on me, called and we chatted. My older sister texted me during my dinner (she’s 3 hours ahead. She didn’t call. She rarely calls. Maybe 5 times in the last 10 years. I “moved away” 40 years ago so she thinks I should be the one calling.

DEI hires would have been fired for doing this. DEI hires would have KNOWN that so they wouldn’t have done it in the first place. DEI hires had to work harder and be better to GET hired. #whiskeyleaks #Signalgate
