Ready for trick-or-treaters!

8th and State, Cincinnati.

Peach harvest 2025

This is a good summary and covers a few other issues as well.

Seems on point...

Finished the first draft of my fantasy novel. Working on edits & revisions. Burst of creativity, and I also hammered out the first chapter of the sequel!

Ozzy

Cherokee Purple Tomatoes and two varieties of Jalapenos from the garden.

They are kidnapping people off the street, have opened their first concentration camp, and are turning ICE into the Gestapo. It’s long past time to “get mean.” Learn why and how👇 hitemwhereithurts.com

2025 Garden (Cincinnati) tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, pattypan squash, basil, oregano, thyme, dill in no particular order...

It was great to participate in the No Kings today in Cincinnati with like minded friends!

““To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt” open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

This is awesome!

For anyone participating in the AMAZON BOYCOTT, 03/07/2025 to 03/14/2025, here is a list of all Amazon subsidiaries. For my bookish friends, remember Goodreads is owned by Amazon. (click to see the whole picture)

Rachel Maddow keeps getting it absolutely correct...

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

👇🏽🤣

Remember this Economic Blackout on 02/28/2025. This is the first step, other events are happening, and next is an Amazon blackout for a week. Longer ones will happen, this is mostly to get more people involved! Check the website: jointhepeoplesunion.com

Rachel Maddow nails it

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Part 1 of a series covering the US written as if the journalist was covering this happening overseas. (part 2 and part 3 in comments) www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

🚨1 If you're attending a protest, save this post. Write any critical phone numbers on your arm with a sharpie. Knowing your rights, staying safe, & protecting others is essential. Be prepared, look out for each other, and keep fighting for what’s right. Stay safe out there!

Just wow...

My current read

I recently discovered a new social media app, it's open source like BlueSky. It's called Pixelfed, and it's similar to Instagram in the same way that BlueSky is similar to what used to be twitter. Here is a link to my profile: pixelfed.social/i/web/profil...

This is an old quote, you may have seen it before, but I think it is relevant: "The problem with quotes on the internet is that you can't always be sure of their authenticity" - Abraham Lincoln, 1857

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social , btw, is one of a tiny group of commentators from whom I’m constantly learning something. That is a very high bar indeed. Here is the full list. You could unfollow everyone except for these people and have a MORE rewarding experience. /7 go.bsky.app/DdCyAgK

30 years ago today, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated. I took a lot of heat for this speech at the time. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

This is a pretty good video from AOC. It's been out for a week or so, but it is pretty on point: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoP9...
