(1) The trees are lovely in Fayetteville right now -- brilliant red-orange, yellow, and red. I like driving around town right now because every time I turn a corner, it's like wow, another beautiful tree.
(2) Conservatives are posting about how young voters will be sorry for voting for Mandami because he'll broadcast Muslim calls to prayer five times a day everywhere. Like church bells, I guess. Horrors.
(3) Liberals keep putting little stories on my FB feed about how this school district or that one is making it illegal to call kids by their "preferred names," and then adding a gotcha about JD Vance not going by his birth name. What they don't get, obviously, is that to conservatives this is not a gotcha. Of course these laws do not apply to them. They're not meant to apply to them. The laws protect, but do not bind them; they bind and do not protect trans people, gay people, or children (or immigrants, or the working class, but neither of those applies in this case).
(4) I'm still in a lot of pain from having the two teeth pulled. The pain medication they gave me only helps a little. 0/10 do not recommend.
(5) Our neighbors keep chickens, including three or four roosters (these are pets, I am pretty sure, not kept for eggs or meat). They roost in the trees of the neighbor's tiny backyard, and sometimes come over to forage in my yard. The roosters crow a lot, which upsets Dr Skull but which I kind of like.
(6) This weekend we're getting a hard freeze. Can't wait.
