Celebrating anniversaries.
“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ "
“[And Christ] will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’"

I'm very sorry about your troubles, and hope my small gift helps a little. I imagine with how busy you are that's why I haven't yet received a PDF; I have e-mailed your e-mail address above, and if you do get the chance, your extremely generous offer to share the plans would be much appreciated.
Dear Mr. Dorr:
Hello - do I infer correctly that you have retired from making wonderful TARDIS cabinets? If so, I wish you the very best - I had written you on May 18th, asking about your interest in taking on a commission for us, but if those days are behind you, again, I wish you the very best.
Chasing a mountain sunset, and then counting the brilliant stars; an impromptu, last minute evening trip full of precious moments, shared together. ❤

The federal National Science Foundation - biggest funder of non-medical science in America - has been shut down. Presumably funding to Trump-approved science will eventually resume... at some point.
For what good it will do, call your Senators.

Celebrating twenty-five years of glorious adventure with Maggie, @zdmajor7.bsky.social , and my fellow Warders. :-)
I'm covering inpatient clinical service (alone) and so can't attend. But join if you can.
Be brave. Be steadfast. Don't go quiet into the night.

If enough Republicans join the minority Democrats, they can stop the President's crippling new tariff taxes. Call your Senators and Congresspeople to demand they act. Before the American economy is completely crashed.
The President imposed tariffs on geographic locales *that have no people*. Because he and his team were too incompetent and reckless to even notice some of the "countries " they imposed tarrifs on, only exist as legal designations, and have no actual residents.
The President imposed massive new taxes on everything from almost everywhere, based on a made-up formula. And you get to pay it.
Call your Senators and Congressmen to demand they force Trump to go through Congress to impose these crazed new taxes. Or impeach him for violating the Constitution.
"Move fast and break things." And people. And countries.
The point isn't to engage in rounds of futile rhetorical dancing with the apologists for tax cuts for the wealthy and slashing services to everyone else. The point - as my posts try to focus on - is on practical action.
Prepare yourself, as the Kansas Tax Disaster, goes national.
So let's talk about why invoking the Alien Enemies Act should be terrifying.
The first step towards being able to help others, to fight for others, is to prepare yourself. Secure your own position, so you can help and fight for others. Take those steps now - today - before everyone else realizes they need to. And share this post, to encourage all your allies to do the same.
You need to prepare *now* for your parents - or you - getting cut off from your Social Security support. The current Administration is adopting the same tricks for-profit health insurers use - obstruct, deny, delay. And you need to prepare accordingly. *Now*.
Mr. President, how can you publicly honor brave cancer kid “DJ” Daniel, while gutting funding for the research literally keeping him one step ahead of death? What are you even *doing*?
US Citizens! If you are a woman or non-white, get your passport card *NOW*. Two recent developments make it especially urgent. Read more below.
You don't have to agree with Mr. Kahlil's stances or politics. You very well might not. But arresting and isolating someone without giving an immediately clear and consistent rationale for doing so - that ought to scare you as an American, no matter what your politics are.
What if one day, powers beyond your control make you disappear from your children's lives forever? Do you have a plan?
"Move fast and break things" is the proudly quoted ethos of those in charge of our government right now. A post about why an ethos born of Silicon Valley dot-com bros, doesn't work so well when the "things" being broken are *people*.
Let’s talk about the recent Executive Order on the “threat posed by the prescription of” anti-depressants and anti-ADHD meds. How it will kill many of your family and friends. And what you can do right now to try to prepare to help them hang on.
If Americans could be sent to the camps for being the wrong ethnicity during the last World War, there's no reason why I and my children couldn't be sent to the camps during the next one. Or my Muslim friends and their children.
It happened before. It could easily happen again.
If we let it.
If you are lucky enough to own your own home, this year – 2025 – may be your last chance to save your family from financial destruction because of global warming.
The authors of Project 2025, are being appointed as department heads in the new American government. The men who wrote Project 2025's savage cuts, are now literally in charge.
If you are a non-wealthy American, the time to start saving *every* dollar you can is *now*. _Right now._
