Baseball's over, election depressed, what to do? Get busy making my old bird fly to Bluesky. If you're checking "who is this?", I probably followed you before OR found you recently & thought you sounded fabulous & interesting.

My husband nicely makes toast for me before he leaves for work. I told him how much I appreciate it, and that until today, I had never thought I should make it. He was teasing me about it, and I got to say "I don't know these recipes!" Gave you credit, of course! 😄

BREAKING: Republican lawmakers unveil the Make Elections Great Again Act — a new bill that would impose the most extreme federal voting restrictions in history.
The measure would go beyond the SAVE Act by imposing strict voter ID to vote, mandating voter roll purges, banning mail voting and more.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.
If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Remember when we all lost our minds that Vice President Dan Quayle corrected that student to misspell "potato" as "potatoe"? How that one mistake told us he must be unqualified, unintelligent, in serving as VP! What a story it was, how the media covered it?

They acted like Gov Newsom was making a big deal over this. In 65 years I cannot remember a time they fired over the freeway w/active traffic! This shows why it was shut down.
