If you enjoy what a culture provides (food, spices, clothing, entertainment), you should love the people who provide it.

My god I miss having a decent human being as a president
“People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”
You can always count on @barackobama.bsky.social to give us an honest #CupOfJoe. I miss that.
The world is watching, & and the straws are adding up.

Nobody really talks about the physical toll grief can take on your body.
I’m currently experiencing all of the physical symptoms of grief except for the heart issues.
I’m on medication for my anxiety and for my panic attacks. So I don’t feel the full effects of a fight or flight experience. 🧵

Mel is a lovely human who has suffered the devastating unexpected death of her partner. He was only 50. If you can help support her in paying for his services, please do.
If you would like to help us, I have started a GoFundMe to pay for his service. All donations will go towards the service. This was sudden and unexpected. Any amount helps.

Thank you to everyone who has donated and shared the fundraiser. We are getting closer to our goal. We are reaching out to his art group, Urban Sketchers to get them involved as well.
He has had artwork displayed in an exhibit with this group years ago. It was such an important achievement to him.
