“Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home–but not for housing. They are strong for labor–but they are stronger for restricting labor’s rights. They favor minimum wage–the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all–but they won’t spend money for teachers or for schools. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine–for people who can afford them.

Please just stop using or even talking about Twitter. Suspend your account and boycott the site. Stop pretending you are dependant on an application that did not exist before 2006 and for which there are several alternatives. CounterSocial, Mastodon, Tribel, Post, and others are all perfectly viable alternatives. Pick one and move on.
Today is the official reversion day for the last of my books in trad pub hands. Fingers crossed the reversion comes next week so I can start the process for uploading the first 2 books in that series and AT LAST can properly market that series.
Weather visual. Still a bit of sunrise orange to the east. Dense fog in the valley. Frost and ice at the house.

Greetings from NorCal. It's 32F and dark. My tea is a delicious Oolong. I need a refill. Stay safe and take the breaks you need during these crazy times.
There's really no keeping gifts secret from my dad. He is just way too nosy. I had to tell him to please step away, that is his Christmas present. And then he stopped being annoyed at me for not letting him snoop and looked pleased. He better have a good fake surprise ready.

#politics Renovating abandoned houses reduces the rate of gun violence, Penn study finds
Gun crimes went up during the study, but they went up less near houses that got new doors and windows, at a cost of $5,900 https://www.inquirer.com/health/gun-violence-philly-abandoned-houses-penn-study-20221214.html
I gave the macaw, half a spaghetti squash and an empty egg carton. He started with the egg carton, but is now chewing up the squash.
Weather update: 30F, frosty, and foggy.
Greetings of the day from NorCal. It's dark and 31F. I have delicious tea and need a refill. Am also updating all the iThings. Gotta get to writing.
Greetings from dark and 32F NorCal. I have delicious comforting tea. Doggos are on my bed, equidistant from the devil cat. It's an interesting arrangement. All of them are facing me.
Greetings from NorCal where it is dark and 38, My tea is Imperial grade pure bud Bi Lou Chun green tea to which I have added cardamom pods and saffron. It's a splurge because saffron is expensive but it's really delicious!

Hey California Cosonauts: Beware of fraudulent referendum petitions! SB 1137 establishes a "health and safety buffer" of 3200 feet for any oil drilling from where Californians live, work and play. Big Oil is spending millions of dollars to overturn this. Now they are collecting signatures on a referendum which they (fraudulently) claim will block oil drilling in neighborhoods-- but if it qualifies for the ballot by December 15 it will stop the law from going into effect on January 1. 1/2
I now have coffee. All is well with the morning.
Greetings from NorCal. It's dark, damp,. and 42F. My coffee is brewing. Have a great and safe day!
