Storyteller at heart, anthropologist by training/ neuro-coach/ librarian. Avid reader, aspiring writer. Also I think we should shut down all the golf courses and turn them into community gardens where we grow food for everyone.

Within minutes of showing up at the IRS, a twenty-something software engineer dispatched from DOGE began demanding access to the tax collection agency’s most protected internal databases — including the one containing the personal and financial data for millions of American taxpayers.

I see tomorrow is Friday.
Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day?
Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else?
I just can’t keep track.

I’m sure deporting people who produce food and slapping tariffs on countries that we buy massive amounts of food from will lower costs any day now.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Jane Fonda is a cat with nine lives; that in her eighth or ninth she's become an absolutely brilliant and effective climate activist is a reminder that sometimes age means coming into your own and then some. I mean, not to dismiss the work she did as an actress and activist earlier, but. HBD Jane!

Kadınlar, ekonomik ve fiziksel engeller nedeniyle eğitime erişimde zorluk yaşıyor. Eğitimlerini sürdürebilen kadınların %54,4’ü çalışabilirken, eğitimine devam edemeyenlerde bu oran %16,6’ya düşüyor.
