Last night in Perthshire, Scotland.

A colour photograph of an aurora directly overhead. The pillars of light are visible and the colours are blue, purple and pink.
A colour photograph of an aurora. Like a close up on a rainbow, yellow on the right of the frame to bright purple and deep blue on the left.
A colour photograph of an aurora. Silhouettes of trees border the image like lace, and the sky is on fire with a glowing rainbow of colour.

It’s #ThickTrunkTuesday and I don’t have any trees for you - or elephants. But, I do have Spring springing in my #garden to share :)) From the looks of it, should have a ton of blueberries this year 🙏🙏🙏

❗️ #BREAKING

“In a surprise move, an #Illinois judge has removed former President Donald #Trump from the state’s ballot based on the #14thAmendment’s so-called “insurrectionist ban.”

He’ll have time to appeal.

I’m done with the Puritopians (could you tell?)

Roses are red
Bullshit is brown
Shut the eff up

Wow.

#RudyGiuliani is still making baseless claims about 2020 election. STFU Rudy Colludey. You're toast.

Via Acyn:

Reporter: Do you still believe what you said about these two women was truthful?

Giuliani: I have no doubt that my comments were made and they were supportable & they are supportable today

Via Emptywheel:

This is really not the kind of speech you give after you YOURSELF default on discovery in a case before Beryl Howell.

YMMV, but holy hell she will not be happy about this.

#thicktrunktuesday Seem to be stuck in #Sweden where the Ministry of Swedish Oaks always finds the thickest trunks :)

GottaLaff, 6 months ago to random

Sometimes I get so overwhelmed I can’t stand it.

I never, ever would have suspected growing up that in my “golden years,” I’d be consumed by the real and present dangers of catastrophic climate change and fascism in this country.

Still fighting like hell, but that’s not the point of this post, so no need to tell me to “keep fighting, don’t give up.”

I’m allowed, as you are, to feel scared, alarmed, overwhelmed sometimes.

This is one of those times.

So gutted to hear the news of #AdyBarkan’s passing earlier today. A tireless voice not only for ALS but for the right to #healthcare for all. Thank you for being you, Ady and for inspiring a movement. #BeAHero

On simmer, right now, in the deep pot on the stove, the 24#’s of Golden Brandywine tomatoes that I roasted, milled and am now reducing to thick sauce. Add that to the other 120# or so that I’ve done of red tomatoes and the #40 pounds I have yet to harvest (the last of it) from the garden before it snows. My house smells divine!
