Since this was the first sub hundred degree night in over a week I spent some time in the backyard relenting to letting Greybie crawl all over me. I've been loving on him each day when I went out to give some food and water but he would meow sadly at me since I had not been sitting down and staying.
He's pretty much moved to the backyard full-time which makes me worry less. Still very much a "community cat" but so sweet.
I'll relay a story a friend of mine just told me.
She was at the store and noticed security had detained a person. They were going through a backpack and acussing the person of stealing cans of food. My friend went up to them and pretended to know the person. She then said "I was going to pay for these items, I must've forgot, let's go pay for them now" security reluctantly allowed her to pay for the persons items and let him go.
$22.00, was the cost to feed someone and keep them out of jail.
> You see, if somebody robs a store, it's a crime and the state is all set and ready to nab the criminal. But if somebody steals from the commons and from the future, it's seen as an entrepreneurial activity and the state cheers and gives them tax concessions rather than arresting them. We badly need an expanded concept of justice and fairness that takes mortgaging the future into account.

Marlene Barbera was mad a trans flag was hanging in a clinic she used. She posted—calling it a “Nazi flag”
Chaya Raichik aka Libs of TikTok posted to her millions of followers amplifying Barbera
What happened?
A bomb threat directed at the staff
Libs of TikTok directed the same kinds of threats at schools, clinics and individuals with impunity
Its time to prosecute domestic terrorists like Libs of TikTok if we are a nation of laws

The media and Bill Barr can go fuck themselves
Bill Barr says he’s willing to testify against Trump at Jan. 6 trial | The Hill https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4140228-bill-barr-says-hes-willing-to-testify-against-trump-at-jan-6-trial/
@bkm If any intelligent person was facing Trump’s charges, then, guilty or innocent, they would be scared out of their mind.
Among my mom’s things that we went through & finally sorted in Chicago (she died during the pandemic in 2020 & I couldn’t travel) — 2 pairs of socks I knitted for her & various scarves (not pictured). I’m happy to have reclaimed them. Sweet memory of how much I loved her. Marlene Kornick z’’l #knitting #socks #pandemic
This illustrates a key challenge many Republicans face: an inability to accept that the allegations against Trump may be true. Republicans choose not to read the indictments, choosing instead to listen, not read, what they want to hear.
Sadly, Hilary was right: they are deplorable.
I think that time spent with such people is time wasted.

Just wanted to thank everyone who helped us get the reviews back up to 93 out of 100 on our film after being attacked by trolls on rotten tomatoes. Well if I can ask you to help us do the same on IMDB. Many trolls hit the review for 1 star. I would greatly appreciate it, If you can help get it back to 9.2 or better!
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
