After moving, promised myself I wouldnt devolve into just having stacks of books everywhere.

Unrelated, I'm disappointed in BF/CM bookshelf deals

If Doves are just fancier pigeons, and Pigeons are just rats with wings, then the supposition that there exists a "sexy rat" makes reasonable sense.

Hope is loud. Be a friend, America is its people - all of them, the diverse tapestry of people.
Tyranny requires constant effort. Oppression is the mask of fear. Authority is brittle. And most importantly: you are never truly alone when standing up to authoritarianism. You have friends everywhere.

I'm left wondering if Paul was telling us all along to smooch the homies?

"“Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ”

Reflections for today:

1) Hope is loud

2) Despite race or creed we all are one people - who have lost sight of that.

4) Building community can lead yo ideas that challenge your preconceived notions. Sit with these for a bit, these are opportunities to grow.

Survived my first tornado, am I a Midwestern now?

Hope is loud.

Find a way to be loud and raise hope in whatever part of the world you are in in whatever way you can.

My belief with Love Wins is in conflict with "but there are actual fascists and Nazis again"

It is crazy to me that the DNC's excited response to losing to an unprecedented degree is to double down on "more of the same" and then claim "we are fighting for you".

I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

The resistance can start (or grow) by offering your skills in mutual aid and to support community. Amazing at canning? Help teach others. Into tech? Help others patch their tech, or build connections.

America is great when we are one people.

50501 should shift from protest to political movement. There's potential for a real, grass roots party powered by the people and for the people.

It wasn't THAT long ago a bunch of east coasters got up in arms over tea tax.

We need a Boston Egg party incident.

There was a sports ball today, I missed it, the cats wanted to watch nature documentaries on PBS.

I maybe be ginger - I'm soulless not heartless, the little furbies got what they wanted.

We often get told "well we couldn't know what the founders wanted/intended" - this is patently just bad thinking.

At the very least, they expected the constitution to change over time, and this created the framework to make that change possible.
