I Looked at Twitter and I have some opinions....

Which is always a bad idea. 

The "thread" is a debate over the ending of schooling for Afghani women. Tragic. 

Who was responsible? Biden or Trump? Trump signed an agreement to bring the troops home in May 2021. Biden honored it. 

Well, Biden hasn't honored much else of what Trump did, so why couldn't he have stopped it? He surely stopped a lot of other things.

They are both responsible, then. It would have happened if Trump stayed in office. And I, for one, believe that's why we have Ukraine. 

And while I am here, the Tucker Carlson crowd who mocked Zelensky's speech (Carlson said he showed up dressed like a strip club owner and that he is persecuting Christians and has declared martial law) can take a flying leap. They could not survive 24 hours in Ukraine. They want more money for domestic programs--which is totally not conservative. Oh, I am angry, and will probably never watch Fox again. No great loss. 

In regard to the persecuting Christians line, he is not allowing Russian Orthodox believers, who oppose a free Ukraine, to meet because of espionage, and we would have martial law too if we were under constant attack.  And he was dressed like a combatant in solidarity. We don't mock Churchill for coming here and asking for help. Shame, shame.

Kallman's Syndrome: The Secret Best Kept

-
I went to my cardiologist yesterday.   Every year I have to wear a Holter monitor for a day because of a heart ablation I had in 2007.   If you don’t know what a Holter monitor is, it’s a 24-hour mobile, wires-hanging-off-your-body EKG.   The nurse practitioner saw me, (not the doctor, which is ok because his voice puts me to sleep).   She was very sweet.   She asked me if I was still taking Estradiol and Progesterin.   “No,” I said. “I’ve totally gone off those.   I was on them for a very long time and I wanted to be sure to stop.” What I didn’t tell her is how long I actually had taken those hormones.   37 years.   I started with HRT when I was 17 because I have Kallman’s Syndrome.   You may never meet a person who has this condition.   It only affects 1 in 10,000 people (or 1 in 86,000, according to one source) so that’s quite a range and far more males have it than females (as do most negative things).   So, being female, I am quite an oddit

Annie Dillard on Writing Advice and Some Observations

-
  https://getpocket.com/explore/item/write-as-if-you-were-dying-read-annie-dillard-s-greatest-writing-advice?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us I frequently listen to a podcast called THE HABIT. Its host is Jonathan Rogers, who for the most part interviews writers with a Christian focus. He is a better interviewer than I, and he runs a community of writers. I recommend him. I do have to say that the podcast makes me feel very shallow as a writer.  One reason is that Jonathan Rogers has a signature question, Who are the writers that make you want to write? If I ever land on his program (a dream), I will need an answer to that one, and right now I don't have one. Sure, there are writers I like, lots of them, but reading them doesn't send me to my computer to get cracking. They are more likely to make me think, you've got no business doing this writing gig.  Actually, bad or mediocre writers motivate me more although I am not exactly proud of that. And the fact that what I want to
