Christmas letters: I read two today.The first made me feel insufficient —bragging on accomplishments of the growing and grown offspring, trips taken (exotic sounding places) and house-flipping profits. The second letter described time spent with family, friends, and babies born. Made me feel great.

I’m making joy in spite of the mean spiritedness of some current policies. I made lasagna for two neighbors and an apple pie for another for their Christmas Eve dinners. I found some outstanding gifts at Goodwill. I made overnight French toast to take to our kids in the morning. 🥰🌲 ✌️

@iwashyna.bsky.social I’ve been thinking about you’re needing a quilt for your winter decor. I couldn’t have completed something by the holidays so I’m hoping you found someone who could. If not, I will find time to make something in the coming year. Have a warm holiday.

Yea, Newport! Way to holler back at the wolves. No ICE facility on our beautiful Oregon coast. No way. Send their life-saving helicopter back. Please know that we will drive over the coast range to spend money in Newport at local establishments over the holidays. Long live the patriots of Newport!

The Supreme Court allows Trump to pause full benefits for hungry Americans. Despicable! They sent it back to the 1st circuit courts. Oregon is feeding people. Pay attention, people! This is the first time in history that an administration is fighting to take food away from poor people.

Oregon found the funding to get SNAP benefits to my single mom daughter and her child. We, seniors on a fixed income, would have ensured that she and our grandson would not go hungry. But it’s better that we don’t need to do that. We have to stay healthy as long as possible to support her. Oregon!

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING. Dylan wrote this song in 1963, as a warning to Americans to accept progressive changes to the traditional social order, an acknowledgement of civil rights and a democratic republic that embraces and meets the needs of all people. “The winners now will later be last.”

@bibliowingate.bsky.social Alex, your profile intro is so interesting—book history. I’m reading a historical novel by Geraldine Brooks right now called The Book People. Fascinated by the idea of manuscripts that are thousands of years old. Thought of you.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social I’m a retired educator. I would value an opportunity to talk with you about how the dismantling of fed support to implement IDEA could be a catalyst for improvement in systems of support. I believe we need visionary leadership to evolve; I believe that leader may be you.

Our male Scottish Terrier has no concept of modesty. He falls asleep on his back with four legs in the air all the time. I just wonder how it is that his body doesn’t roll over one way or the other. 🥴 I’d post a pic but it might be just over the line suggestive to a lady dog.
