@hankgreen This could be taken many ways, but I’m appreciative of the smile you brought to my face, Hank. Humans /can be/ pretty cool creatures!

@mctclover AKA, Do I support following the chain of command as codified in the constitution? Yes. Because that’s the law.

The “America just got tossed into the abyss” narrative seems to assign very little agency to actual Americans who really do get to decide whether the abyss looks more inviting than the non-abyss.

Certainly there is a pro-abyss contingent, just look for anyone trying to use the assassination attempt of Donald Trump to further turn the temperature up. The abyss is good for some people. There are also people who can be drawn into the pro-abyss faction by fear and frustration.

But I think the abyss is both undesirable and pretty avoidable. Also, pitching the abyss as inevitable feels like a pro-abyss talking point.

This has been my New York Times Op Ed for the day and “abyss” no longer sounds like a real word to me. Abysss. Abyyysssss…

@dgellis0907 @maureenjohnson I’m sat here, moved to tears by this beautiful interaction. May we all learn to be more accepting and less judgmental. 💜

Our LGBTQI+ children should not fear who they are.

No one should be made to fight alone.

We are all in this together and we will fight with pride.

@paytmitch It’s been a while since I was almost-30, but I can tell you that yummy wine beats the pairings rules. I like sweet so I tend to default to muscato or a rosé. If you enjoy red, look for a good Cabernet Sauvignon. (Honestly, most wine works with whatever food)

@maureenjohnson I’m glad SCOTUS is blocked this but it’s no longer a given that they would have done. How terrifying that it’s got this far.
