Soooooo, this is my home district...

I am just gonna say that there is one really easy way to never have to worry about an ICC arrest warrant whether or not you are a national of a State Party, and the cool thing is that that easy way actually involves not doing things, so it actually requires no effort whatsoever

Maybe the #Ravens would be having a better season if John H had spent a little less time visiting the presidential palace to try to secure favor with Dear Leader and a bit more time doing his actual job, I dunno

OK, so I'm back on here, not sure for how long, but updates since I've been away: 1) Got diagnosed w/ bipolar, started new meds, doing WAY better mental health-wise 2) Bought a house 3) Made more progress toward tenure (two more steps to go, final decision likely late February)

The local NPR station fundraising this week, citing their objectivity, but then saying "Public broadcasting has come under attack by powerful actors" w/o naming those actors, did not inspire me to give money...
