I think about several years ago when a couple travelled with their unvaccinated toddler, and brought back measles--then sent the kid to daycare. It resulted in the death of a baby too young to be vaccinated, and they were shocked when they were charged with negligent homicide.

The way they see it, Federal jobs are paid by the government--therefore are stealing money (taxes) from *real* working folk.

Libraries, too. They fund over 100k libraries.

Throwback to a relevant cultural moment. So many people are sharing messages, mostly directed at queer and trans folks, to not kill yourself. That surviving, as yourself, is not only enough, it's revolutionary.

And it reminded me of Choose Life, in the 80s, at a time when the world looked dark.

The YouTube channel Meidas Touch is doing an ongoing series of videos about people already finding out.

And yes, I'm absolutely indulging in the shadenfreude.

First time around, I had some compassion for people who didn't realize they'd be negatively impacted. This time, they had plenty of warning.

Bodies are wild, eh?

Unhinged holidaying as a coping mechanism

In no small part by firing most of the employees without even figuring out what any of them did.

I expect exactly the same move with the government.

Radcliffe as CIA Director is a real highlight, too

I'm thinking of doing a big pot of my smoky maple baked beans for Thanksgiving.

I'd share the recipe, but it's very long. Not difficult, but several steps and quite time consuming.

Then a potato dish (something crispy like Pomme Anna or Fondant potatoes, rather than a mash), a squash dish, something with mushrooms, and stuffing.

Was reading yesterday about a Latino man who voted for Trump being surprised that suddenly his Trump-supporting white neighbors didn't want their kids to play with his. One neighbor even brandished a gun to scare the brown kids away.

They need to make sure to have an enforceable consequence for when he refuses to pay.
