The B word (boring) is NOT allowed in my classroom. If you are telling people you are bored, you are only admitting your own weakness. If you're bored, it's your own fault. There's always something fun to do. Use your imagination. 😁

Some people won't love you no matter what you do. Others won't stop loving you no matter what you do. Go where the love is.

Find your tribe.
The right people for your soul: hear you differently, show up differently,
support you differently,
and nourish you differently.
That's how you'll know.

Rep Robert Garcia just dropped a bombshell 🔥

The House Oversight Committee is forming a joint investigative unit with the Senate to track and expose every single act of ICE misconduct.
Accountability is coming.
No more hiding behind badges. No more abuse without consequence.

"Oh, leave me, still, the rapid flight
That makes the changing seasons gay,
The grateful speed that brings the night,
The swift and glad return of day..."

From William Cullen Bryant's poem The Lapse of Time (1829).

Seriously? Privacy advocates have been sounding the alarm since forever. Society’s response? Apathy.

Canada is a police state. In 2025, our cops have body cameras equipped with facial recognition technology.

Did you people 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 Palantir? Because that’s how you get Palantir.

It’s too fucking late.

Begging people to strip this surveillance gear out of their homes. No Alexa, no Nest thermostat, no Ring cameras, no gd internet linked refrigerators. An actually zone of privacy, for God’s sake.

Today is Kukur Tihar in Nepal, my absolute favorite holiday. The second day of Tihar is called The Festival of Dogs; where we thank them for their friendship, loyalty, and companionship.

Treat your canine friends with extra joy, care, and treats!

Have a blessed Kukur Tihar and Happy Diwali!
A white dog in Nepal is given red kumkum powder, a marigold garland, and some treats for the festival.

It’s never too late. All the incremental decisions that got us here can be decided differently. I don’t mean to be Pollyannaish. I mean to say that anything made by humans can be made differently by humans.

Dtr and I are talking about baking. She says she wants to do more baking again and I told her she should because there aren’t a lot of things we do where we see the rewards of our work so quickly and that is a feel good thing.

dreamed of cheese
extract from Treasure Island, Jim meets Ben Gunn, a marooned English sailor "Three years!" I cried. "Were you shipwrecked?" "Nay, mate, said he, narooned." I had heard the word and I knew it stood for a horrible kind of punishment common enough among the buc caneers, in which the offender is put ashore with a little owder and shot and left behind on some desolate and distant island. "Marooned three years agone, he continued, and lived on goats since then, and berries and Oysters. Wherever man says I a man can do for himself. But, mate, my heart is sore for Christian diet. You mightn't happen to have a piece of cheese about you, now? No? Well, many's the long night 've dreamed of cheese-toasted, mostly--and woke up again, and here I were. "TL ")

Grown men showing their beautiful emotions, body diversity and athleticism, so many stories of thinking you're washed and rising back up to have the season of your life--baseball has it all.

"When you light a candle, you also cast a shadow."
“It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception, compassion & hope.”
"Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new."
Born on this day novelist Ursula Le Guin 1929
