"Unmanned Drone" the repurposed Confederate monument to Stonewall Jackson. It's now a towering violent monstrous figure

"The remade Jackson statue, titled Unmanned Drone, is a monument to the 'horror', rather than the myths, of American white supremacy, said Hamza Walker."

My fascinator for Derby Day

a beaver is standing on its hind legs with its mouth open Alt: A beaver walking on its webbed feet through an open building to the camera, its mouth open, its paws held close to its chest.

Today's animal distraction from The Horrors:

The thing that drives beavers to build dams is a burning genetic hatred for the sound of running water.

There are a lot of words that I have a fuzzy sense of because of being a greedy reader. Sometimes I find the accurate definition, and I sort of regret letting go of the impressionistic half right version

Duuuuuuude 😂

Love you too Bets! 💚🩵💙

I will say there's nothing WRONG with it ... but one doesn't just TALK about it 😁

Yes, and yes! 😳

Happy New Year John! Will get through it and there will be good times as well. Wishing you the best!
