Sometimes I really hate this state. I wish we could take it back from the radical right in government who’s gerrymandered their way to power. https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/112452421062607595

Mother’s Day card mailed from NC to SC on May 3rd hasn’t arrived in time for the holiday. Can we PLEASE get rid of DeJoy? For the love of god, please. 🤬

@gedeonm A recent birthday card took 10 days to get from San Diego to Berkeley.

@gedeonm Ouch! But glad you saw the aurora. It was a no show here in the SF Bay Area.

We got my husband off to the hospital at 4:15 this morning. Because he has skin cancer on his face that has stubbornly recurred after three removal efforts, today they are trying a different strategy. Hopefully, the mohs surgery is successful.
Summer decided to spend the rest of her very early morning in his chair. She has one of his sweatshirts to cuddle while she misses him.
Hope you got more sleep than we did.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Proud to have spoken in favor of, and then voted with the prevailing side in passing a new law that would allow 16 and 17 year olds in our town to vote in local elections. The state would have to approve it, but it's a start!

@danielpunkass My late mom, a high school teacher, would love this. She pushed this idea for years.

Good night to all friends of the birds!

Wishing you all a wonderful Easter. I hope you can get out and enjoy the wildlife around you. If not, I'll do my best to share some of the wildlife close to me in the coming days.

I remember the first time my partner noticed players with their gloves covering their mouths when conferring with the pitcher and thought it was because of shyness or not wanting to rudely breathe on each other. @baseball

@pseudonymsupreme @baseball That started after Will Clark read Greg Maddux’s lips in the playoffs in 1989 and hit a grand slam on the following pitch.

I'm in the middle of a migraine cycle, last two weeks have been super not fun and unproductive, but by golly, I'm going to Wondercon with a positive attitude and a lot of hope. And powerful medication. See you at Artist Alley B-2.

@ColleenDoran We are on the same unfortunate wavelength. Hope you feel better at the Con.

I haven't tooted Matt Beard art in a while. I still enjoy my collection every day, though. This square plein air painting caught my eye because it looked like a super warm day a world away from Humboldt.
I have a few So Cal pieces, but none that look like this one. It makes me smile on this cold, rainy day.
He named it Bass and Treble.
It's definitely a hot day at the beach.

@NorcalGma2 I just had lunch with an old friend I hadn’t seen in a long time who is also a plein air painter. http://www.hausmanstudio.com

@YakyuNightOwl has the answer I was looking for. Barney "Big Ad" Morris was a knuckleballer.

What would you like to hear, sir?

If it became a pattern of selective enforcement of the rules, thats a different story.
