@clayrivers Yup, the temps are usually enough for me as well! 😄

@clayrivers Ooooh, perfect deliciousness in snowy winter!

@clayrivers And with you, Clay. Hope you have a delightful day. ☺️

@inthehands I'm so sorry, Paul. This is so indescribably horrific.

@broadwaybabyto I shut a guy out of my life in 2015 when I dared critique Trump and the "friend" in question outed himself as an arrogant misogynist right-winger. Good fucking riddance.

In Scotland, the days between Christmas and hogmanay are known as "daft days."

Along with many others, I like to call these days "Betwixtmas."

HAPPY DAFT DAYS OF BETWIXTMAS, Y'ALL

THE PRIESTESS MURDERS
a murder mystery set in my Light-Walkers Universe
https://books2read.com/b/bxRdoo

A sleepy town is thrown into turmoil by the brutal murder of a priestess and a promiscuous minstrel. The town's leaders are corrupt, the imperial Core's local agents are strangely evasive, and a village rife with secrets is ready to explode under the pressure....

Typed "I'm delighted" in a text to a friend -- and stopped short, looking at the word "delighted."

I used "delighted" to mean that I am pleased, joyful, content, happy.

But delighted. De-lighted.
Wouldn't that mean "darkened"? Illumination removed?

If "de-" indicates that "light" is removed, how does that jive with the emotions of pleased, happy, or content?

Looked up the #etymology.

And voilà.

"light" <-- leoht (#MiddleEnglish) <-- lēoht (#OldEnglish) <-- *leuhtą (#ProtoGermanic)

Spouse & I participated in today's #NoKings #OKC protest.

The core of it was a mock trial.

The defendant: Donald J. Trump.

He was present as a cardboard cutout.

The jury: We the People.

Witnesses detailed his crimes.

When called upon, we the People shouted the verdict: "GUILTY."

Rally leaders then dressed the cardboard defendant in an orange jumpsuit.

"LOCK HIM UP!"

Led by a younger woman with a guitar, we sang "This Land Is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie & "What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes.
