This is Eeyore. He led a sheriff's deputy to his grandma after she fell during their walk. We are awarding him the incredibly rare 15/10 (FB: OkaloosaSheriff)

Yey, Oklahoma!

Yes. Not just in schools, but in every classroom.

OMGosh, the song comes back (Why or why do I remember these words?):

Neither a borrower nor a lender be
Do not forget
Stay out of debt . . .

There's just one other thing
You ought to do
To thine own self be true.

Do you have a favorite example of learning about high culture from low culture? Mine is the episode of Gilligan's Island where the castaways stage a musical adaptation of Hamlet set to the tune of Carmen (70s TV was wild) <1/n>

I love praying mantises.

Thank you. So they were tossing them at people who wouldn't let them proceed down the road. Obviously they need anger management lessons. And they need to be instructed about throwing tear gas near students. It's like they're in the wild west or something.

DE Riley @deriley.bsky.social · 4d

Thank you. I've seen this video. It is horrific, and it's wrong,

But it says nothing about the tear gas being thrown because they were angry about being stuck in traffic. That's what I was looking for, as that sounds bizarre even during these days. Can you direct me to videos/articles about that?

This is how it's done. You give what you can. If you can give billions, give billions. If you can give $1, give $1. Just give!

Azim Premji, Wipro’s tech magnate, has given over $21 billion through his foundation.

As one of the largest living donors, he has helped rebuild schools, clinics, and communities across India and is still running projects that touch millions of lives.

It was 300 officers IN TOTAL in the raid, not 300 from helicopters. Yes, it's still horrific, but we need to be clear when sharing the news. Check sources, etc. There's enough craziness going on.

800 arrests amid Chicago immigration 'blitz' of helicopters and midnight raids

Federal agents rappelled onto an apartment building from Black Hawk helicopters in a recent raid. Hundreds more arrived masked in trucks.

So I'm seeing lots and lots of ICE activity that's crazy and illegal in Chicago, but I haven't found anything about this story. Please share a news link.

Yes. Not trusting your emotions seems to last for so long. I'm a senior citizen, have been through lots of therapy, and still find myself doubting my reactions. So I end up not reacting sometimes. Just like before.

DE Riley @deriley.bsky.social · 5d

My thoughts exactly.

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

That's a long time to wait . . .

The problem with removing Trump is that it puts Vance in the Oval Office. I fear he may be worse.

We have already been marching and speaking out and protesting in other ways. It’s time for our reps to do the same.

I was going to add a video of my favorite R.E.M. song but I just can't choose. Way too many.
