1. Found homemade lemon scones in the freezer. They warmed up beautifully and paired amazingly well with my homemade strawberry jam.
2. Scones + jam made it on the menu for this afternoon's Zoom High Tea to celebrate a friend's birthday who lives 1000s of miles away.
3. Stinky dog got a bath. Now he smells like a flower, and he's not happy about it. (photo attached of sad dog)

Cheating is the Republican platform so we've got to flood the ballot boxes enough to get them out of power in every state as fast as we possibly can.

From another #Kansas newspaper:
"Legal experts contacted by the Record termed the raid unheard of in America and reminiscent of what occurs in totalitarian regimes and the Third World.
The Record is expected to file a federal suit against the City of Marion and those involved in the search, which legal experts contacted were unanimous in saying violated multiple state and federal laws, including the US Constitution, and multiple court rulings."

Who is the wealthy powerful Republican connected person who waged a vendetta against a newspaper for truthfully reporting on her DUI, jeopardizing her pending Liquor License applicaton? That resulted in an armed police raid of the newspaper's offices, and the armed police raid of the home of the newspaper's 98 year old co-owner Joyce Meyer and her subsequent death?

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.
