If the civility scolds want to put private residences totally off-limits, they should probably be lobbying Congress to drop the ban on protesting at the Court. 36/

In addition to all this excellent information: if you're disabled or have any history at all of kidney function impairment, ask your doctor right now to order an eGFR blood test so you have the results on hand. They will want results from the last 6 months to prescribe Paxlovid.

"...Phrases from the credits become diegetic a lot. It’s cute. I think Babylon 5 has too much Important Speech for some, but I like it, as someone who peppers the way I talk with unmerited gravitas sometimes. Damn but we really are all alone in the night."
Anyway, Read Molly's Babylon 5 Essay And Subscribe To Her Blog.

An idea I had to make libraries more private: https://mstdn.io/@Hyolobrika/108238877661902575

@Hyolobrika @brainwane
Okay, but I live in a neighborhood where a lot of the people who most need to borrow library books don't have the resources to tie up the price of the book for that length of time. Depriving them of access to books seems counter to the purpose of the library.

@baslow @brainwane it can be an option. better than not having that option at all and depriving everybody of it

I disagree. I am against governments creating more spheres of privilege.
