Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
I know. I was there in those camps.

When I was 25 I was sad I had not written The Great American Novel. At 55, I realize there's no Great American Novel, there are merely the stories I'm the best person to tell. Don't worry about how others see greatness. Work on being the best version of who you are and what you can do in the world.
people over 30 quote this with some life advice for the rest of us?

In my world, “the talk” is what Black parents have w/our kids, about how to survive an encounter w/police who see them as a threat because of our skin color.
Latino families have their talk, w/kids even younger, about ICE who see them as criminals: “If we disappear…”
Different fear. Same America.

It’s so easy to forget but so essential to remember.
Good and loving and smart and honest people exist. There are a lot of them. More than the bad and cruel and dumb and mendacious.
They're not perfect, they just care for others, even strangers. Not always actively, but as a default.
Find them, celebrate them, commune with them. You are not alone

I think it is important to remember that the US is not poor. It is, in fact, fabulously wealthy...like a lot more wealthy than the next country down the list. And yet other countries, with less, have crafted safety net policies, public services and public space that make their citizens more secure..

I took some more photos of poor Pepper today. He is so sweet and loving and gentle but nobody has wanted to adopt him just because he looks a little bit scrungly. 😢 Please share with anyone you know in northern Vermont who might be interested! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

We owe a great debt to the firefighting crews now battling the blazes. Those crews, not incidentally, include over 900 inmates from California prisons.
