I am bonkers happy for your friend, even though she rudely draws attention to my solidly average grade in bio right now with no stroke.

And yeah, I accidentally left out, it sometimes takes my friend a minute to come up with the exact word she wants to use in a given situation, but her mastery of concepts, including futurism in tech (I say bc it's well beyond me. I didn't think 3D printers would ever be real) is 100%.

That's what some people refuse to accept: just bc you move through life differently, doesn't mean you're not as sharp or sharper than the next person. Honestly idk how people with really physically disabling issues but perfectly good brains get through the damn day, people are just jags in the extreme with this stuff. Ironically they can learn, but actively refuse to.

My bff had a massive hemorrhagic stroke, which very few people survive (its an aneurysm, or 2 in her case, essentially exploding inside your head, ppl usually bleed out too fast for intervention). And she is the strongest, smartest & most empathetic person I know, she'd be incredible in any office. The fact that she needs a little brace on her leg to keep her foot straighter & uses a cane hasn't taken any of that away.

I'm not going to respond to them bc there's no reaching people who refuse to learn but just in this small thread, there's already someone saying he should be disqualified bc he needs (most likely temporary) accommodations. That those accommodations prove that Fetterman is not mentally fit.

I remember when McCain had massive trouble speaking during a congressional hearing, actual word salad, before the brain tumor was public knowledge, & I didn't hear one word that he was unfit for that job, from either side of the aisle. Most people were just concerned for him.

I just thought this was a super interesting part of a fascinating race. I was told (here & many other places) the GOP spin of "he's brain damaged, he can't be an elected official," & as it turns out: most voters understand that sometimes life knocks you down, & that it's a privilege to get back up again. That the getting back up makes you who you are.

I didn't even do that much, just literally threw the clover seeds down & then watered a bit to keep them from blowing away. Clover stays beautifully green, is soft & springy, doesn't need mowing & one of my favorite things: on summers evenings I could sit on the front porch during the golden hour & watch the bumblebees goes nuts all over it. You can make a beautiful yard with clover, native wildflowers & non invasive perennials!
