Three things for Sunday

[nwhiker]

1. At some point, someone will explain to me why US calendars start with Sunday. Drives me bugfuck. It's the weekend and Saturday and Sunday should be next to each other, so you can see how they overlap. It's ridiculous to separate them. Usually, I print out calendar pages from time and date, cut them to size and glue them into my Washington Trails Association calendar. This year, I spent an hour on amazon with the search term "Monday start" calendar to try to find one. I did (I hope!) and it'll be here on Tuesday.

2. There have been swans on the lake for the past few days. I love seeing them. And they're so freaking BIG.

3. Backsliding democracies tend to see a period of backtracking on women's rights and a rise in antisemitism. Check and check.
