😢🌹 Love and more to the surviving families and their closest friends.

I am in awe that you managed to masterfully fuse/merge an adorable baby hippo with empowering workers rights. 🌸🦛

Sigh. It is disheartening that these hate-filled folk find and are encouraged by communities of like-minded jerks* (trying not to type out the descriptors that I would like to use).

Thank goodness that I read the sign. My nonthinking and overreacting parts of me were, just moments ago, turning into mini-Hulks. 🤭

?!!!

Forgive me. I am going to use the mute button while Trump speaks. It is all that I can do to keep steady on these choppy seas. I do think that Kamala is not choosing to share about the nuances surrounding Gaza and Israel. She stops at October 7th. That worries me. (typo: retyped)

C'mon Kamala, do not let Trump get under your skin. He is without a doubt a poison. Kamala is starting to show signs of fatigue from what is a Gish gallop of arguments pouring out of Trump and which are grounded in lie after lie after lie. It is tiring.

It's tough to consistently employ that age ol' idiom "like water of a duck's back" when your opponent is capable of spewing endless streams of misinformation & lies which are so blatant, not even trying to hide the lie, that those listening to the spew are caught like a deer in someone's headlights.

It is interesting to watch/to listen to Trump, a presidential hopeful, express lie after lie after lie and to know that there are a fair number of people willing to vote, to protect, and to engage in heinous actions for him. I wonder about how vulnerable we are to those with a mastery in deception.

I must confess. At first, this story gave off fake news vibes. Yet, and let me pick up my ageing lower jaw from our dusty wooden floor, the sounds are real! Considering the delay for the 2 astronauts’ safe return, this phenomenon is spooky. 👻
