Husband Unit is still resting at home, but our friend Anita and I went to the Hollywood Bowl to see the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Tower of Power! Gods, they’re all so (relatively) young. Growing up it was pretty much all old men (and women, Jeanette Kimball!).

In fact, I would argue that thinking you should only protest when you’re sure you can win is the most naive position of all.

I've seen a few "anyone who thinks they can stop this bill is naïve" posts this morning, and like... okay? Your point? I don't fight based on whether or not I think I can win. I fight based on whether or not I think it's right. Letting them coast into this horror show without a fight is WRONG.

I understand all of this was inevitable, but it still feels like "Elon wants to impeach Trump, who is being advised to deport Elon" was spoken directly into existence by the most fanfic-minded resist libs

After weeks of prep, we finally have fruit trees in the ground: a Lisbon lemon, a Pixie tangerine, and a “cocktail” with Blenheim apricots, Alberta peaches, Santa Rosa plums, and Fantasia nectarines. It was painful to remove their fruit but I know they need to focus their energy on roots first.

Rant: work gloves at my local @acehardware.bsky.social start at size Medium, and most high quality ones are L/XL only; no space on the rack for Small sizes! Found a few smaller gloves in Garden but they’re pink/floral/lightweight. Guess women who do actual work-work need to shop online. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just so we're all clear here: the Secretary of Defense has been sharing classified war planning about Yemen in unsecured channels, and now the Houthis have enough intel that they can target US aircraft carriers & force an F18 into the drink. Not hard to connect the dots here.

Barbara Starr tweet: IMPORTANT: IFTruman had to make a sudden hard turn to avoid enemy fire this is extremely significant. The goal for US troops is to always bring down the enemy as far away as possible NOT close in. And this potentially suggests further improvements in Houthi guidance and targeting. Def more to learn here. Starr is QTing Natasha Bertrand: UPDATE: A US official said that initial reports from the scene indicated that the Truman made a hard turn to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard.
