"Won't You Be My Neighbor" is an excellent documentary. I hadn't heard sniffles throughout a theater like that since "Titanic."

I met him at the funeral of one of my fellow grad students. Fred Rogers was there because he had met the student on a flight from San Francisco to Pittsburgh.

They were seated next to each other Rogers asked why the student was going to Pittsburgh. "I'm going to be a student at CMU." 1/N

"Really? Have you been to Pittsburgh?"

"No. This is my first time out of China."

"Where will you be stay?"

"I don't know. I guess in a hotel until I find a room." 2/N

"No, that won't do. You'll stay with me until we can find you a nice place."

So he stayed for a month in Fred Roger's apartment.

When my classmate was killed in a tragic accident, Rogers was there at a Buddhist funeral to deliver the sermon for his friend. Who was a foreigner he had met on an airplane and who he had invited into his home.

And that is what I learned from Mr. Rogers.

He absolutely did, and I wish my mom hadn’t weaponized my childhood admiration of him to force obedience. Any time my small child self wasn’t behaving the way she wanted, it was “what would Mr. Rogers say?”. She managed to direct my resentment at him instead of herself. I was too young to see it.

He wasn't wearing slogans or righteous at all.

He just spoke with the calm authority of a man who allowed kindness to be his beacon, and encouraged kids to do the same.

But. He did this with a kindness that made decency look matter of course instead of a special ask.

He normalized decency for a children's audience, at their level of understanding.

Gently. Easily.

Explaining Mr. Rogers to kids who didn't grow up with him is a trip because he sounds like a political juggernaut.

When public pools were segregated, he put his feet in a kiddy pool with Officer Clemmens, a Black man.

He saved PBS by addressing senate.

He made his show accessible for blind kids.

I do not envy the next Democratic president. The task of bringing all these criminals to justice while trying to piece back together the very foundations of our government and institutions will be daunting.

Why does this ridiculous, stupid, coke-addled nepo-baby of a nepo-baby brat have any say in U.S. foreign policy? What foolish, horrifying times we live in.

I don’t understand what happened with my last post but I don’t believe I’ve ever had so many likes and reposts of anything in my life. Anyway, to continue the love for the birds in the local area, here are four beauties seen around the Seaton area this year. #Birds #DevonBirds #WildlifePhotography

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:

It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.

It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.

Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

Basically, the Deputy Attorney General of the United States taking the 5th on national TV to avoid answering why he did one of the most disgusting things any DOJ official has ever done in US history.

It's always fun to find out which of the "We. Will. NOT. Vote. Our. Way. Out. Of. Fascism!!!" people actually meant it as: "No, I will SPECIFICALLY make sure that we will NOT vote our way out of fascism, because I enjoy the fascism actually" 🙃

Minimum wage with no benefits. No security. No respect for player and staff safety.

No more.

I’ve had my sad times and now I’m back in fight mode.

We’re going to get our workers a fair wage.

We’re going to get our staff security and make the workplace safer.

We’re going to hold their feet to the fire because no one who works for a six billion dollar company should make minimum wage.

Well the Dodgers union busting worked again.

I don’t know if I can continue working for this team.

And I love this team. But they have treated us abysmally.

I’m so heartsick right now.
