Mr fleas meeting resulted in nothing for now. He is trying to get officially attached to the office in Narragansett, which is a lot closer to us than Ohio but still a hell of a commute.

Mr flea feels like you, Connie. People feel various things about the EPA but his work is basically “let’s have safe drinking water and keep sewage out of rivers and the ocean.” It’s one of the less controversial messages.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Karl, thank you for thinking of us. We're fine; it's not our school or neighborhood. It's the second school shooting in Nashville in under two years, though, so hard to really feel, you know, OK with it all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wow, lisah!

Glad your folks are out, ND, and that you are ok, Kate

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Claiming it was because she had too much DEI

We got notification today that we have to remove every reference to DEI in our entire nursing curriculum. We would be reported if we leave it in, so I probably shouldn't say anything. I am on a DEI committee that is now disbanded. I was the fat activist.

I'm glad Mr. flea is OK for now.

So sorry, Consuela.

I had read that one, Lisa, and, yeah, didn't need to be sent verbatim, and the snitch patrolling is just gross as fuck.

I am not personally affected, but one of my inner sanctum friends is high up at USTR, and the pick for US Trade Rep was well-respected in his role as Chief of Staff last Trump administration and treated *them* with respect, so that's some positive news. I mean, for my friend... what it means for trade policy, well...
