Deep breath. Resurrecting the aging oil pastels to process the shot going on in a healthy way & reclaim the #artist in me. These gems are from budding young local artists & are on display at the #library.
It’s hard to function before you’ve been coffee-d!
A screenshot of a poem. The poem reads: Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
From “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

BREAKING: SpaceX's Starship EXPLODES, causing FAA to halt flights at 4 major airports
The previous Starship also exploded, in January
THIS is why FAA probed SpaceX for safety
And THIS is why Musk has been trying to kill FAA - and why he should NOT get any more govt contracts
This is where it needs more emojis than just the heart.
“To achieve the rigor of specificity, more Americans …should ‘taboo’ DEI…Doing so would force us to better understand our own claims and make them more legible. It would help us better understand what others think, and to achieve sensible policies rather than careening between totalizing extremes.”
2/3 “When you find yourself in philosophical difficulties, the first line of defense is not to define your problematic terms, but to see whether you can think without using those terms at all.” He says “summon ‘the actual details’ until you can replace the symbols with the substance.”
1/3 Excellent, nuanced article about the lack of common understanding of “DEI.”
“In…Taboo, a player tries to get a partner to guess a word, such as margarita, without saying” the obvious ones. The AI researcher and writer Eliezer Yudkowsky urges “tabooing” words to help clarify their meaning.

Screenshot of book cover. Lighthouse with a dark sky behind it.
The main characters maintain a lighthouse and desperately want children but they’ve faced 3 infant losses. Then one day a baby and a dead man wash up on the beach. And a few years later they learn about the birth mother…
I’m just going to be over here sobbing into my breakfast over the first book in a long time that was poignant enough to make me this verklempt.

Calling your elected officials DOES matter. Help correct the skew to the right (conservatives call FAR more than progressives). Video from AOC. www.facebook.com/share/r/18Uh...
Glad I broke up with Google calendar this year and went back to a paper planner.

Impressive list. And important not to erase the accomplishments of the diverse people of the world.
Oops 😬
Yikes!
Elon Musk is grifting the American taxpayers. I'm fighting back with the ELON MUSK Act to ban "Special Government Employees" like Musk from holding government contracts.

@jligocki2.bsky.social I love the photo you bc hose for your profile!
The media is failing abjectly in how it is framing what this administration is doing.
