The Caves of Nerja Are Rediscovered (1959)

Don't mess with autocrat Ron "El Duce" DeSantos. 🤨

Last year, DeSantis signed a law that in June 2023 would dissolve Reedy Creek. The move was a response to what the Republican governor saw as Disney’s criticism of a law he signed that limits elementary school teachings about gender identity.

“The United States must not be a safe haven for those who seek to undermine free and fair democratic elections or the peaceful democratic transfer of power, particularly by inciting violence, regardless of the position of power they previously held,”

I've not heard from Mike Lindell, Jack Posobiec, Charlie Kirk, nor Steve Bannon on this.

Quote of the Day

The sun was like a great visiting presence that stimulated and took its due from all animal energy. When it flung wide its cloak and stepped down over the edge of the fields at evening, it left behind it a spent and exhausted world.

Willa Cather
(1873-1947)

No idea what a "ring-winger" is, I'll stick with "right-wingers"

Oops.

Good morning friends. Have a wonderful Thursday. 💖

"Thursday is the day of Jupiter, the largest of the planets and said to be the most powerful. Spellcasters would be wise to use this day for attempting wealth, success and prosperity spells. Thursday is also associated (in Norse mythology) to Thor - Thor's day - and some even say that Jupiter and Thor are one in the same."

Pete Buttigieg does not sit at a desk managing NOTAM software or the servers to all of the idiot ring-wingers who blame him for it. Right-wing media and MAGA politicians are going bonkers over who to blame without knowing the facts. Makes me sick, frustrated, and angry. 🤦😠
