For posterity... I propose that when the regime implodes and we move forward a law must be passed that suspends the enfranchisement of any 2020 Trump voter for one four-year election cycle. These people misused their vote like a gun owner misuses their gun. No vote for you, MAGA. #MAGA

This time of year I can spend hours down at the river and maybe hear two Brown Creepers, and rarely see one. At the latest, since Saturday one has been dropping by our suburban backyard daily. #birds #Columbubble

Spelling Bee accepts enby but not milf.

On April 20, 2016 I blacked out, hit my head, and concussed. I was all in on Hillary, having been grossed out by Trump since the late 1980s. I keep hoping this is part of some twisted dream scenario that will vanish when I regain consciousness.

New Year along the Little Patuxent looks exactly the same as last year. Belted Kingfisher, Great Blue Heron, Brown Creeper, Golden-crowned Kinglet #birds
