Done Since 2022-06-19

[mdlbear]

It's been a crappy week. Not for me, personally, but for the US. It doesn't come close to canceling out. So, crappy. Friday was a total write-off, and yesterday wasn't a whole lot better. You'll find lots of useful references in the links.

The fact that I made a s4s post doesn't really count on the the plus side, because it was the third time I've had to signal-boost Cat Faber's Underground Rail. Only partly compensated by seeing that siliconshaman posted Regarding Roe v Wade being overturned. with a link to the version from the concert that N and I performed (as Lookingglass Folk) ten years ago. Just minutes before I did.
