The official White House photographer will post black and white photos sometimes and they almost always just make everything look like a horror movie

Burn this "sea ice" colored map into your retina, and remember I posted it. Because next time is turns fuchsia, the bot armies, trolls, & disinformation artists will cry "fear mongering." Protect yourself and your community. Follow the science.

Research on COVID is being hampered by a lack of interest by publishers and funding, imo. Considering we are only about 7 years into a brand-new disease, we lost interest pretty quickly.

NOTES FROM LEAH:

This viral moment was super cute, but don't let it fool you. Neoliberals commit war crimes almost as often as Trump does and allowed billionaires and the Epstein class to run amok. The DNC has two years to find a viable Presidential candidate. Demsocs *are* the compromise.

For the first time in decades, consensus broke at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The United States cast the lone “no” vote on a document aimed at improving justice systems for women and girls worldwide. Misogyny is the official policy of the US under Trump.

While asking for gardening advice, let me offer this piece of advice: if your zone can grow a Peggy Martin rose bush, do it. This was it just like a few weeks ago, and now it has so many of these pink blooms that I can cut for little vases for inside.

Don’t let what hasn’t happened, how long it’s been, how unlikely it looks, convince you to quit believing. Keep the presence of your dick. “Dick, I thank you that you’re fighting my battles. What you have purposed for my life will come to pass.”
