“Because of the way they are treating my people in the South, the US government can go to hell” and [US President Dwight D. Eisenhower] “has no guts’ for not sending in the military to protect the Little Rock Nine.”

He called Eisenhower "two-faced" and described Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus as an "uneducated plough boy".

Sue the hospital, the state, the person who released and anyone who saw the records. Take food out of their children's mouths. Cost the hospital so much they have to shut down an entire wing. Cost the State so much they have to raise taxes.

Motion to change all instances of "food desert" to food apartheid because it speaks to the systems-level barriers communities face when accessing food.

Diverse communities are not barren wastelands. They are full of culture and lives that matter.

Executive dysfunction is fun because I can want to do a thing I enjoy, think about doing it all the time, but instead literally just sit here doing nothing while feeling miserable about it

@Huntn00 On point!

You can be poor, you can be disappointed, you can be dissatisfied with the government.

Whatever you are angry about, it is not a solution to vote fascist! We have been fighting for freedom and respect for minorities for decades. We all know what fascism leads to.

Have respect and the morals to respect our basic law! There are so many ways to show your protest. Trust your gut feeling and never be misled by populist-fascist people. Thank you!

As a California native I know what you mean about plants struggling and having to hide from the burn. I now live in the midwest and don't have that issue, but I know the pain well! Hopefully temps start to fall for you soon so you can take more time to enjoy what you're growing!

During today’s family viewing of the excellent #STNG episode “Yesterday’s Enterprise,” the 4yo asked mid-battle, “why don’t they have seatbelts?” Good question little one. Good question.

RUSSIAN GROUNDING

Russian media say that the Kremlin regime is thinking of closing some or even all Moscow airports "for several weeks with subsequent prolongation" due to the terrorist threat (drones and, allegedly, in the short term, the possibility of strikes by long-range missiles from Sumy region, Ukraine).

Reportedly, this issue seems to be very painful for the Presidential Administration, FSB and the Russian government.

Terry licking my face in this photo from August 2010… I never really appreciated my #biceps at the time! #gayMen #gayMuscle #muscle #LGBT

With the half the season gone, I know I want to photograph my garden as much as possible to carry me through the long winter months when there are no bumblebees or butterflies to be spied from the kitchen window. I love living in a place with seasons, but fresh roses, cosmos, dahlias, zinnias, and other floriferous joys are sorely missed when the cooler weather starts to drag on.

So here's a little reminder to myself and anyone else out there this week that if you have a chance to take a moment to stop and smell the roses, take it. And maybe take a photo or five, too.
