Dear #timeless Friends,

As we may know it could be any day of three, #dependent on #time and day and year before time becomes #obsolete ...

For me it was Diwali yesterday. The festival of Lite Buds. I am on a computer so ancient, it runs without a hard disk or #SD card. I am running #Seamonkey from #Puppy Linux

I am using #LAN and glad to report 'mutant' deer are still a thing in #Richmond #Park. These are the first ones to be culled and shipped off to #New #Zealand by #professional hit men.

I believe it is time for these #dears to be let out into the #surrounding #urban #jungle to learn the ways of cars, dogs and #starving vegans.

They have been doing it with cows in India for #millennia. It is time to be #kind. As always. It is a high risk #strategy

Tennessee Democrats may be expelled from the House in first-of-its-kind partisan vote

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Three members of the #Democratic Party may face an #expulsion #vote this evening following their interruption on the House floor Thursday afternoon.

Reps. Gloria Johnson (Knoxville), Justin Jones (Nashville) and Justin Pearson (Memphis) walked up to the well of the House during their Thursday session. The move has since been characterized by Republican lawmakers as an “insurrection”.

According to all three lawmakers, they decided to take to the well after being repeatedly #silenced by Sexton throughout the week following the #mass #shooting at The #Covenant #School, which killed six people, including thee 9-year-old children.

“We get punished for doing something like listening to the people of the state of Tennessee,” Pearson said.

“The three of us were tired of our voice not being heard in the morning for Welcome and Honoring,” Johnson said.

“We didn’t get called on for the voucher bill that happened, and we decided between bills we were going to walk up, we were going to #acknowledge the #people outside #surrounding this building, in the rotunda, and we’re going to #speak to their #issue and tell them that we are with them, because they needed to hear that.”
