Recall-fever has come to my local school district.

Unfuckingbelievable! They're trying to recall THREE of our school board members because they don't want their UNVACCINATED children to have to wear a mask.

Petitions seek to recall three BVSD board members over coronavirus precautions

Nine people are seeking to recall three Boulder Valley School District Board of Education members over concerns about decisions regarding the coronavirus pandemic, including requiring face coverings.

...

“I am one of many parents who have felt disrespected and ignored by Boulder Valley and, in the end, it felt like we really needed to take a stand for them to pay attention to our very legitimate concerns,” she said.

Leslie said she is also concerned about taking away parental choice.

“What it comes down to in the end is this: If a parent feels like wearing a mask in school is the safest and best thing for their child, they should have every right to do that, and if a parent feels that not wearing a mask in school is the safest and best thing for their child, they should have every right to do that,” she said.

...



My kids have graduated, but my neighbor has a 6-year-old and is grateful for the mask and vaccine mandates, and terrified that her child could get sick because of these morons. Ugh.

Here on the Moon

This is one of my favorite songs, but I every time I hear it I think of the wacky stuff spewed by RWNJs. So I made this video:

Oakland-Based Ballet Company Challenges Gender Norms

This is so cool. One of those moments were you go, "Huh. I never thought of that."

Thirty years ago today I married the man of my dreams.

And about thirteen years ago he introduced me to DU.

As I posted last week we had to cancel our trip to Catalina (where we got married) because of Covid. Turns out it was a good decision because I read that Matt Gaetz went there to marry his child bride a few days ago. Probably infected the whole island.

Anyway, Happy Anniversary CloudWatcher.

Remember Trump's surprise withdrawal from Syria?

We had troops there helping the Kurds who had PROVEN their willingness to fight. Trump just yanked our folks out with no notice, leaving entire bases there for the Russians and Turks to come in and occupy. Kurds were murdered in the streets, and their entire community destroyed.

Somehow THAT was fine with the MAGAts.

But now that we're ending a 20-year war, allying with people who have no will to fight the Taliban, and sending troops to rescue those who can and want to get out. Well, obviously that's an impeachable offense.

Hypocrisy, thy name is MAGAt.

Next week is our 30th anniversary.

My husband and I got married on Catalina island thirty years ago next week. After we got vaccinated we planned a trip to go back for the first time since the wedding.

We had to cancel.

So...

Good news--I've been married for thirty years to the kindest, smartest, funniest, greatest guy I've ever met.

Bad news--Anti-vaxxers are selfish assholes.

Idaho is a joke?

Hi DU,

This is my latest video. It's the one I wanted to make when I started my channel, and it's the one I've worked the hardest to make. I hope you like it.

Who has standing?

And I'm really asking here.

Section 3 of the 14th amendment prohibits insurrectionists or anyone who gives them aid and comfort from serving in the House, Senate, military, state legislature, etc. Why aren't we enforcing this?

What would it take to get Paul Gosar, Gym Jordan, and the rest of the traitors the FUCK out of Congress?
