True (and happy cake day) but the star looks most like an A to me, which I think is why I write it the same way… 4135

I think of a capital A, which is why I’m in the 4135 camp.

I think we are in a teeny tiny minority.

Out of curiosity, how do you write a capital letter A?

Do you write a capital A starting at the top?

Oof … I’m very much for women making the final decision, yet the idea of no cutoff date (assuming a perfectly healthy mother and fetus) makes me uncomfortable. I’m imagining someone just changing their mind at 30 weeks. But of course that’s a highly unlikely scenario. More likely is a relationship ending and the mother realizing she won’t have the support she had anticipated. Or an abusive partner prevented her from getting the abortion sooner. I suppose there could also be financial reasons they couldn’t do it sooner.

Ya, it just makes me uncomfortable after the point of viability, but it’s not my life or my child or my choice, so I don’t disagree with you.

This entire exchange is refreshingly wholesome.

You’re not wrong, but that’s a terribly sad thing to be grateful for.

Summary

Wisconsin resident Bradley Bartell voted for Trump's promise to crack down on "criminal illegal immigrants," but now his Peruvian wife Camila Muñoz has been detained by ICE.

Muñoz, from Peru, overstayed her visa but had applied for legal residency. On their way home from a honeymoon, immigration agents detained her at a Puerto Rico airport.

Despite no criminal record, she remains in a Louisiana detention center. Her case reflects ICE’s broadened enforcement that now includes documented immigrants.

Bartell, once supportive of stricter immigration policies, now questions the impact on families like his own.

When Kris Kobach was able to go through Kansas voter rolls and remove “foreign sounding” names with no real consequences, I knew it would start a trend. Here we are.

Given this ruling I wonder what other voter registration purges we will see this week.

I’m tired.

This phrase has never made any sense to me. It’s a circle. If one side is moving right, then the opposite side is moving left. So the phrase only makes sense if you specify which side we are talking about, which nobody ever does. Therefore it’s completely illogical to me while everyone else just gets it. Side note: Autism can be a real bitch sometimes.

Edit:

  1. Some people don’t understand how I can see a problem. That’s cool, but don’t be a dick. We all look at the world through different lenses.
  2. This is when I was a kid “helping” my grandfather in the garage. I’m older now and understand that “righty tighty” references the top of the rotation.
  3. Some people rotate their perspective 90° and imagine themselves standing on the screw. Therefore when your face rotates to the right the screw is tightened. I hadn’t ever thought of that. But I had imagined rotating my perspective 90° the other direction –the top of my head as a screwdriver. In that case, “lefty tighty”

Plus, you aren’t disconnecting a person, but a whole family or business.

And since many areas in the US only have one provider, you force that family to cancel all streaming services they might have. It’s a lose-lose-lose situation.
