Disaster funding becomes a loyalty test, war spreads across borders, a court defends the right to challenge detention, political violence meets justice, and whole regions burn.
Birthdays, wonder's of the world, and the laughter of a child seem to make everything perfect however fleeting those sweet things appear to be. Frustration looms around every corner as does abject horror over what is happening in this administration. AI has unleashed itself in the test stages of the drone system of our Military with the ability not to be controlled by a pilot or remote control but to fly entirely on their own while making hundreds of split-second decisions to maneuver and attack targets! OMG! Thinking of my opening statement. It's almost like giving birth and then saying to the newborn, "You're on your own! I've got other things to do!" HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how you embrace your children as the precious individuals they are, and how that care and concern expands to all life. The world needs more clear eyes as to what’s real and true mediated with hope and compassion.

I hope fair day was an exceptional day. You all deserve it.
Happy 10th birthday, and I wish you all a wonderful day at the fair.
I would nominate you for Mother of the Year, but it wouldn’t be fair to the other contestants.
Thank you, Paul. That brought a smile to my face.
A delight to read such insightful and entertaining prose, Shanley. Thank you.

Given the Bader Khan Suri situation, I thought I would offer this up as an example of how ridiculous this administration is;

I’ve being paying $10. Monthly not $7. ??? (Geddry on Substack).
Thank you, Joan. I will look into this and send a direct message to you once I've got it sorted out.
