I Have Been Remiss

with the Worriedman farm/garden posts. I apologize, but the weather is warming, Ollie can go out, and we like to play in the backyard, which also runs off stress for both of us. So I did that yesterday, and plan to do it some more later on today, but here’s a nice post right quick:

Amongst the flowers I am alone with my pot of wine drinking by myself; then lifting my cup I asked the moon to drink with me – by Worriedman

Li Po- Alone and Drinking Under the Moon Read on Substack

The rest of the poem- it’s fine! You should go read it.

I considered rewriting this – I was going to call it Alone and Smoking Under The Moon – After a Poem By Li Po (Amongst the flowers I am alone with my pot, smoking by myself; then, lifting my pipe I asked the moon to smoke with me -) I didn’t though. Li Po was a badass. His life would make a good novel.

On the way out to feed the horse – if Hopper has painted Ohio barns.

Barncat came down from the hayloft.

Amos !

Huck demonstrates his boundary issues.

That’s all I have room for – thanks for dropping by!

[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in]

By e. e. cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

                        i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

New videos and stuff coming tomorrow.

Hi Everyone.  Hope all is well for everyone.  I have been in bed for the last 48 hours.  Two days.  The first day I was in too much pain to function well.  This morning I got up to watch the morning Sunday news shows and was in so much pain I took so much pain I had to go to bed by 10 am.  Great news is I got all the issues surrounding my video recording taken care of.  I can and will start doing them very soon.  Hugs and so much love to all.  Scottie

Texas lawmaker pops question to partner on statehouse floor 

This post is to show how to do good protest and positive push back against the new maga oppression.  Show them we are here, we are alive, and we will continue to be in public view living our lives fully.   I love the courage of this couple.  Hugs

A large Texas flag hangs from the Texas State Capitol in Austin, Texas, on Jan. 14, 2019.
 

A Texas lawmaker got down on one knee and proposed to his longtime partner on the statehouse floor during the first day of the 89th legislative session. 

Texas Rep. Venton Jones (D-Dallas) popped the question to Gregory Scott Jr. on Tuesday, right before other lawmakers were set to be sworn in, according to a video posted on X by a WFAA reporter, an ABC affiliate. 

Scott said yes. The couple were surrounded by family, friends and colleagues. 

“We just got engaged on the House floor,” Jones said. 

Jones, a second-term lawmaker, represents Texas House District 100, which encompasses parts of South Dallas, West Dallas, East Dallas and Oak Cliff, including other areas. 

“In a time when our love and our very existence are challenged, often in the halls of this very building, this moment is a reminder that love conquers all,” Jones said, according to The Dallas Morning News. “Gregory and I stand as proof that progress is unstoppable, and no amount of hate can erase the truth of who we are.”

 

Jones, a nonprofit CEO, is the vice chair of the Texas LGBTQ Caucus. 

“Gregory and I are building our family and future together. Our love symbolizes resilience and our story reminds us that love can and will always overcome hate,” Jones added. 

The cult is pouring into the replies with the usual slurs in the name of Jeebus.

Good Morning, Scottie’s Playtime

A Great NYE Post From The Bee

I think the song is perfect! It’s always been one of my strength songs. 🍾 🌟

In Regard to New Year’s:

I found this bit last night, and thought Scottie’s Playtime is a fine place for it to be, too.

(She’s my favorite pastor, though Rev. Trevors is right up there with her.)

Some grand thoughts from Rev. Ed Trevors. I really wish I could think / reason as he does. Hugs
