Today I had my first ever pangolin sighting. It was a tiny one, probably a youngster. We walked with it to make sure it got safely where it was headed and away from the road. It’s taken 8½ years of hiking in Taiwan to have this neat experience. I feel so lucky!

@Taiwan_Trails You are indeed lucky! I lived there for two years and never saw one. @echanda

⚠️ BREAKING:
China 🇨🇳 Faces Surge in Deadly Virus Outbreaks, Hospitals Overwhelmed as Fatalities Rise
China is grappling with a significant rise in infections from multiple deadly viruses, including COVID-19 and Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV).
My contract has expired. Now I have to decide if I want to expend the energy looking for something part-time, or just be a normal retired person.
Got a six-book series from Kindle unlimited. When I finished the sixth book I was promoted to "tap here" for book seven. Now that I'm midway through book right, I thought I'd look and see just how many books there are in this six book series. Ten. There are ten books in this six book series.

For decades, Republicans have warned immigrants would come and steal American jobs.
Finally, they have a case that proves them right: A wealthy South African immigrant is now taking over the President's job.
@dukepaaron Sounds like you would fit in well down here where they will fry anything including butter.
@dukepaaron Fried gefilte fish croquettes.... While I would probably enjoy them (I always have gefilte fish in the house), I think it would be a bridge too far for my Southern shagetz husband, even though he wants everything fried and served with a side of lard.
@BenRiceM Fail. No capitalization. No grammar. No subject-verb agreement. No verb!

Republicans cannot govern. This is true no matter how many times we are dumb enough to run this experiment. Republicans no longer build. They do not create. They bulldoze, destroy, burn, rape and pillage, they liquidate divisions to momentarily maximize shareholder value and then they cash out. They have no interest beyond momentary profit.
They cannot govern because good government is utterly at odds with their miserable ideology of greed, fear, and destruction.
It's just that simple.
It won't matter, cause soon the republicans will be back in power so there won't be any more hurricanes. They'll control the weather, right? And surely they wouldn't visit a hurricane on their own... And all the gulf states are red. https://mastodon.social/@RealJournalism/113679807426485496

I keep seeing that Musk had a hand in torpedoing the government funding agreement.
WTF?
He isn't an elected official or even an *un*elected one. (And Rump isn't prez yet, but we have him *telling* Congress what to do. So much for the balance of powers, amirite?)
I wake up every morning feeling like I've dropped through some rabbit hole into a truly warped alternate reality.
I do not like it here.

@littlemiao Thank you! We watched the caterpillars slim themselves into chrysalis. Over the last few days the butterflies have been appearing. Their wings aren't dry yet, so we move them to the azalea bushes in the front yard where the cats won't chase them.

A state judge in Montana rules that discrimination based in transgender status IS discrimination based on sex.
But the trial over changing the sex designation on birth certificates and driver’s licenses continues.
