That's hilarious because my priest at the time encouraged people to read the books.

You're setting yourself on fire to keep her warm. You both agree she needs help, which is great, but she's doing nothing beyond that, which is not great. On top of that, I'm seeing a lot of manipulation. She accuses you of trying to manipulate her into feeling guilty, which is literally what she is doing to you. This is not a healthy relationship; a good partnership will build both parties up. She needs to work on herself, alone, before you continue any sort of relationship with her. You need an exit strategy before she affects your health any further.

Because then they can scream about open borders knowing that their base is either too dumb to know or doesn't want to know the truth.

Turning point USA is Charlie Kirk's (I think) organization. It's your typical right-wing "you're anti-capitalist, yet you live in a capitalist society. Curious."

Toilet paper USA is that format, but with Charlie Kirk's head subtly photoshopped (maybe).

Probably Peter Thiel. That shitbag throws money behind all sorts of online fascist spaces.

Send him to that big garbage island in the Pacific.

I didn't know he had the ability to choose to be born to a gross and shady emerald mine owner.

Block it. There are a number of ways, but I soak mine for a couple hours, then pin it to blocking boards. Well, actually, they're foam alphabet blocks, but the result is the same. Just make sure you use stainless steel pins so you don't damage your project with rust.

They act like Yellowstone and other areas are just an extension of Disney World: the animals are tame and nothing bad will happen to you, otherwise why would they just let people in to wander around?

According to the CDC, it's four doses, preferably in the arm, over a two week period. I think I remember reading about someone who worked at a rescue or rehab that had to get several shots in the shin, around the bite site, but I don't remember why.

Even if they knew someone who died, they insisted it wasn't covid, even to the point of keeping it off death certificates.

Normally, I would recommend citronella, either the grass or the candles, but I believe it is toxic to dogs.

I believe lavender, catnip and basil are safe, but they're all mints and may try to take over your garden or yard. They all grow very well in pots though.

You can also try setting a trap. Put out some soapy water. The females are the ones biting you and they need water to lay eggs. They'll fall in the water and the soap prevents them from escaping. I haven't actually tried this with mosquitos, just other pests, but I have friends who swear by it.
