I've heard so many stories of people saying how they felt out of place when they were in high school, it makes me wonder if anyone ever feels comfortable, at home, satisfied with being themselves there.

Or at the office. Or in a group.

It takes strength, time, and determination to be yourself in a society that so strongly exerts peer pressure.

Saguaro Cactus

The Saguaro Cactus captured in the desert north of Phoenix Arizona.
Spent a few days in Phoenix visiting family. My brother and I went out into the desert as I wanted to explore the area.
The timing was perfect as you can tell, the overcast skies kept the temperatures down in the mid 70's allowing us to explore the desert without coming down with heat stroke.

Saguaro Cactus

The image titled Saguaro Cactus captures a towering saguaro cactus standing proudly in the desert north of Phoenix, Arizona. The composition emphasizes the cactus's iconic silhouette against a backdrop of overcast skies, which soften the light and bring out the textures of the desert landscape. The muted tones and diffused lighting suggest a calm, temperate day—perfect for exploring without the harshness of desert heat.

The cactus itself appears majestic and resilient, a symbol of the American Southwest. Its arms stretch upward, echoing the rugged beauty and quiet strength of the region. The framing and timing highlight both the grandeur of the plant and the serenity of its surroundings.

"#Democrats further narrow #GOP’s House majority with #Arizona #specialElection win

#AdelitaGrijalva ran on… her father’s legacy and received endorsements from… #BernieSanders… #AOC… and the Congressional #Progressive Caucus. She cited affordable #housing, defending #workersrights, expanding #welfare programs and fighting #Trump’s economic agenda"

Great!

And the zinger…

We should get the #EpsteinFiles due to her #election

While Democrats are likely to be glad to have another vote in the House, Grijalva might be greeted warmly by an unlikely figure: Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky), who, alongside Rep. Ro Khanna (D-California), is collecting signatures for a discharge petition to force a vote on a bill requiring the Justice Department to release all unclassified files related to the investigation into Epstein, who died in prison while awaiting trial in 2019. (A discharge petition is a method of bringing a bill to the floor when the House speaker refuses to do so.) The petition had 216 signatures before Walkinshaw won his special election this month, with all House Democrats and four Republicans supporting it. Walkinshaw signed on shortly after being sworn in, and Grijalva’s assent would be the final signature of support needed to reach the 218 it needs to force a vote.

Time for a new #introduction!

I live on the border, where #Arizona, #Mexico and #NewMexico all come together.

I mostly post about #cooking, #gardening, #hiking and #publiclands

I'm interested in #music, #art, #anime, #manga, #comics, #math, #videogames, #retrogaming and #retrocomputing

I switched from #Amiga to #linux and #bsd so I actually know very little about MS Windows.

Cervical cancer could be eradicated — but not with Medicaid cuts & anti-vax politics, experts say https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/1005425_cervical_cancer/cervical-cancer-could-eradicated-but-not-with-medicaid-cuts-anti-vax-politics-experts-say/
Cervical cancer is one of few cancers that has a known path of prevention, but that also means it falls at the intersection of three cultural issues — broad access to low-cost or free reproductive health care, access to vaccines for children, and sex education.

Advocates say some tactics used by officers to target Latinos in Trump’s deportation effort draw from Joe Arpaio’s playbook.

“The model was Maricopa County — the very public, very humiliating, demoralizing approach to the raids, and the cruelty.”

For years, a Phoenix nonprofit has run a mail room for thousands of homeless people, who use the address for job applications, for medication, to receive benefits like food stamp cards and even to vote.

Now the U.S. Postal Service is cutting its $24,000 investment, leaving the organization to raise the extra money to keep it open.
