I sat through “Thomas and the Magic Railroad” for my oldest.

He owes me.

I am allowed to access my original birth certificate once my birth parents have died. Of course, since it was a closed adoption I am also not allowed to know who they are.

The richest man in the world’s companies are losing money and Donald Trump, Sean Hannity, and other rich white supremacists are feeling bad for him and going out and buying Teslas.

Elon Musk is talking about cutting social security and Medicare benefits and they don’t give a rat’s derrière.

Would not have expected Utah, of all places, to be ahead of Wisconsin (the state where my adoption took place) on this issue.

I hate that question.

And it’s under the COMMERCE committee.

Thanks Tony! I figured it was something like that, but didn’t want to assume.

I ducked out of most social media for a while, and missed the significance of the egg. What does it mean/do?

If white Christians are outraged by Bishop Mariann Budde’s call for compassion toward the marginalized, just wait until they actually read the Bible and see what Jesus said.

Spoiler alert: His teachings were loving your neighbor, uplifting the oppressed, and standing with outcasts.

The hypocrisy of you nonmelanted bigots claiming Michelle Obama is “disrespecting the office“ of president by not attending Trump’s inaugural is palpable.

Where in the Hades was your concern for “respecting the office” four years ago when Trump refused to attend Biden‘s inaugural?

I will argue that the adopted kids would.

Trump set the TikTok ban in motion

Congress passed legislation

Biden signs legislation

SCOTUS upholds ban

Biden says his administration wouldn’t enforce the law, leaving room for TikTok to stay open

TikTok shuts down anyway

Trump tweets

TikTok pretends Trump saved it 🙄

I see contacting WARM has been suggested. They were very helpful in my search.

The suggestion in that thread to contact WARM is a good one. They have been helpful to me.

What a beauty!

Time to dismantle the thing. With hammer if necessary.

I love that show!

Thoroughly Modern Millie?

That’s exciting! I found my birth family through DNA as well.

The Onion wins auction for Alex Jones' media company The sale must be approved by a bankruptcy judge. Proceeds will go to paying down the $1.5 billion debt that Jones owes families of Sandy Hook shooting victims who won two defamation suits against him.

Perfect.

I’m here now. Not sure how much posting I will do for a while, but I’m here.

My son lives there! Great city.

NYT screenshot: One day earlier, in a neighboring state, another couple making a politically motivated move had a different flag on display — a Pride flag on a T-shirt. Jennie and Jeff Noble were packing their possessions into a 26-foot U-Haul truck in suburban Iowa. Ms. Noble, 37, who was wearing the Pride T-shirt, and her husband were leaving Iowa for Minnesota. Their only child, Julien, came out as transgender at age 11. Now 16, Julien uses prescription testosterone. After Iowa banned gender-affirming medical care for minors, criminalizing their son’s treatments, the Nobles — lifelong Iowans — concluded they had to get out.

The Huckins family and the Noble family have not met, yet their journeys — from blue Oregon to red Missouri, and from red Iowa to blue Minnesota — mirror each other, unfolding only five weeks apart this spring. One family relocated because of a single issue — restrictions on transgender rights — while the other believed a broad swath of progressive policies had degraded their quality of life. But both families used strikingly similar language to describe their main concern: the need for personal safety.

*extremely* telling that the NYT frames a family leaving a state because their trans son literally could not get the medical care he needed as a "politically motivated move" and an abstract "issue" rather than one connected to their child's intrinsic humanity www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/u...

Oh. Yes. That is key.

Such a good book, as is All You Can Ever Know.
