Roadtirement

We noticed a behavior in starlings that we had not seen before. Adult starlings were moving through the yard, doing their normal grazing thing.

Some adult feathers are beginning to show on the backs of these two starling juveniles

What was different was the sight of juvenile starlings, one or two per adult, staying amazingly close. Every time the adult moved, the juvenile stayed right with the adult. We watched as the adult would grab a worm or grub an give it to the youngster. When the adult flew away the youngster would squawk and carry on very loudly. This parent/young interaction went on for minutes at a time.

Biden prays for safety of Tlaib’s family in Michigan speech | TheHill

Biden made the comments at the beginning of a speech about electric vehicles at a Ford plant in Dearborn, Mich., after Tlaib publicly criticized his administration’s handling of the violence between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. “I admire your intellect, I admire your passion, and I admire your concern for so many other people,” Biden said, naming Tlaib. “It’s from my heart. I pray that your grandmom and family are well. I promise you I am going to do everything to see that they are safe on the West Bank. You’re a fighter, and God thank you for being a fighter.” Earlier Tuesday, Biden spent several minutes speaking with Tlaib on the tarmac upon his arrival in Detroit. Biden was also greeted by Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell (D).

Fuzzy

Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

When you think of Fuzzy
Think of him as a pot of honey.

Enveloping you with moist kisses.
Who filled your lives with sweetness.

A member of your family.
To whom love came naturally.

Be at peace with these thoughts.
That he still loves you lots.

He's just moved a little away.
Because God called him today.

Those years that you spent with him.
With joy and love, a synonym.

He's so happy that you were the one there.
In those last moments to hold and care.

So honour Fuzzy by being happy.
Because that's how he'd like to see.

Each and every one of you.
This is what you, his family should do.

Smile and think of him fondly.
He'd want you to handle this strongly.

A Pair Of Mini-Rants — Filosofa’s Word

I actually had three things to rant about today, but I ran out of time and space, so I shall have to save the third for another day … Lies, Denials, and False Equivalencies The Republicans who are falsely claiming that the attack on Congress and the Capitol on January 6th was little more than […]

Is Our Democracy In Danger?

In Saner Thought

There is so much chaos in this country these days.

Misinformation and lies are driving this chaos.

So to answer my own question….yes it is…and it is in deep danger.

From denial of science to the denial of elections to voter suppression and most of all this chaos can be laid at the feet of the GOP.

And all this chaos grows from the policies put forth by state GOPs……the obstruction and the denial of real policies that move the state forward they focus on cultural crap that has NO place in the legislatures of this country……stuff like bathrooms, abortions, who we can boycott or not….silly shit that has no business taking up the time of elected representatives.

I ask again….is our democracy in danger?

Research is showing that it IS in danger and GOP lead states are the cause….

Georgia passed a restrictive new voting law that, in effect,
