Be like President Zelenskyy

Belly!

Juxtapositions Life and fascism are happening at the same time.

I will focus on what I can do to help in Missouri. I know my power is limited at the federal level, but I can help stop federal mandates by gathering groups and opposing my state lawmakers implementing those mandates.
This is our power. It’s local. Focus there. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Can you imagine the courage it took to preach this message directly to the president? This is what a follower of Jesus looks like. (Partial transcript below.)

Guess I am done crafting tonight

For this lamb stew I'd marry my spouse all over again. @neenos.bsky.social can cook!

The highlight of our winter without a furnace is going to be discovering all of the drafts in our 100+ year old home. It's a mystery, but the prize is congratulations, you win another expensive repair job!

It may not solve all of the world’s problems, but I think we can all agree that having more bakeries, libraries, museums, and bookstores would be an important first step.

My daughter didn't want the cat to be cold so she wrapped her cardigan around him. This cat deserves a sainthood nomination for his patience.

Kids discovered the 1986 game Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego (thank their teacher and Internet Archive!) and the background knowledge required to interpret the clues was extensive. Will now be singing to Rockapella the rest of the week.

Broke out the leaf lard from our first pigs. First time canning lard and first time processing pigs. Hopefully, first time deliciousness too for these apple pies too.

The problem with reliving the '20s and '30s is that I am just not wild about living through a Great Depression so power can renormalize after unqualified and corrupt leaders break everything all over again, get run out of office, and then we somehow reanimate a Roosevelt to fix it up.

That moment when you win Wingspan on a tie at 119 points, have a rematch, and then win that game by one point. GG @neenos.bsky.social #wingspan #boardgame #boardgames

Learning Bluesky while taking my comp students back to the days of hand written source cards and note cards. My AI derived sources were easily discovered and found wanting. 1 out of 3 turned out to be verifiably real. Strange world indeed. #edusky #eduskyAI #academicsky

Old school note card exemplar for the comp students with some chatGPT derived sources and notes snuck in so we can see the difference in quality. Old+new I guess. #AI #Composition #FirstYearCollege
