And looks like we are finally back from yet another Internet outage on campus. About 2 hours out. A lot of work came to a halt. Well, let's try to get back on track.

I knew some of those coaches back in my days as a school teacher, so no further comment from me needed.

Not that I would want exile, but if that is the option, then in one of those islands in the Pacific where they did nuclear testing, no supplies whatsoever including medical, no communications, a naval blockade to make sure no one breaks him out, and just let him rot slowly.

@npub1z04…0mxh @npub189n…satx My thought exactly. In any other normal nation, a treasonous insurrectionist would have been hung or put in front of a firing squad by now.

I recently stopped wearing it at work, but for the most part, we are all vaccinated and the building is not crowded. I also spend much time in my own office.
Now, when I go to crowded places, I do put it on. Going to Walmart around here, for example, is taking your life in your hands, so I do #WearAMask there and in other crowded places.
I do have all my COVID shots up to date (and I figure at some point I have to have some faith in the damn vaccine).

@npub1yk6…4zz4 Word. I have come across that smug condescension, and it is annoying as hell (and if too annoying, they get blocked).

@npub1m7v…h7x4 I had a verse in my email at one point, Dan. 12:3 "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever."
I was educated for a big chunk of my youth by Lasallian Brothers. (Catholic survivor, was not always a heathen). I was also a school teacher in a previous life.

(No further comment from this happy heathen needed).

Muslims opposed to LGBTQ curricula for their kids aren’t bigots https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/6/19/muslims-opposed-to-lgbtq-curricula-for-their-kids-arent-bigots
Yes, they are. They just use their belief in their sky fairy to justify it much like #Christofascists do.
