Nice, similar story (my partner also just stepped on a bee in our clover yard). We've been less intentional, we just don't treat the yard at all and the clover has been taking over for the past 5 years. Pollinators are so happy and so is my garden.

Trump's campaign machine is bleeding cash for legal expenses
Am I the only one who thinks it's wild that he's allowed to use campaign finance for legal defense fees? I'd think and hope that campaign donations would have a narrowly defined set of uses.

Odd coming from someone who is fucking retired.
I'd suspect he sacrificed work-life balance his whole career (yes, CEOs are known for golfing and vacations, but I bet they still think of work 24/7). So just like people complaining about student loan forgiveness, some people get so angry if they perceive someone might have an easier experience than they did.

I spend 10 minutes a day thinking of how other people might feel and it's exhausting. Anyway, the spreadsheet numbers are smaller than they used to be, so I'll just do a round of layoffs.
