  • Y’all liberals one the only ones listening to this man. Seriously. Nobody calls his hypocrisy but the left. And should such a call reach his followers, it’s simply tuned out. His worshipers, much like Christians, just cut and paste the bits they like into memory, rest is just noise.

    None of these people give two shits about Trump the man, and all his heinous behavior, past and present. He’s merely a symbol, a brick thrown through the window of woke.

    Apologies for the ramble, it’s just that these stories are so very old after 8-years, pointless. When Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue without repercussion, it was true. Those of that know, know. No one else is listening.






  • Got my kids back for the summer, first time since they got phones (9 and 11-yo). They’re hooked through the fucking bag. And that’s with their mom having severely limiting their screen time.

    If I so much as threaten to take their phones, they act exactly like an addict having their stash stolen. If a literal demon jumped out the phone, grabbed them by the neck and punched them in face, they’d go right back on the screen.

    I listen in, and it’s all high-pitched chatter at 100mph, randomly switching topics and formats. If the internet has fried my brain at 53, god knows what it’s doing to them.


  • Buried an 80G trash can in the yard, made a water garden. Took a slightly smaller plastic window box, drilled holes in the sides and bottom, screwed it to the side.

    Transplanted Sarracenia and sundews are going nicely crazy. (I know, not legal to grab them out the wild, but I’m working on growing more and have reintroduced them to my swamp in the boonies.)

    BONUS: We got dragonflies hovering around! And the trees frogs are back! Love me some insectivores, plant or animal.


  • Pitcher plants and sundews aren’t nearly as picky as fly traps. Those things evolved in a very particular environment, whereas pitchers and sundews are more forgiving.

    I kayak the local swamp, and sundews and pitchers go nuts in everyday direction of light. Serious. I was trying to judge which direction they thrived in, don’t matter. They grow robustly on every side of the stumps, north, south, shady, full sun, whatever. Just gotta stay wet(ish)!
