Less hate and vitriol, more dreams about what we can be instead.

More Americans should read critiques from other perspectives like "One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This" by Omar El Akkad

A reminder that FSA money not spent in the calendar year is lost to you.

The beneficiary? Your company.

Goliath's Curse by Luke Kemp, about civilizational/societal collapses that all are prone to.

For an administration that wants to completely gut the administrative apparatus, the government #shutdown is a feature, not a bug. It's just doing what they wanted to do anyway, so there's no reason to work to reopen.

No Kings written multiple times in sidewalk chalk at one street corner.

Hundreds of folks showed up today in #Williamsport to express our disapproval of the current goings on in America. Peacefully. #NoKings

You’re not unmotivated.

You’re overwhelmed.

You’re not “too sensitive”.

You’re attuned.

You’re not dramatic.

You’re dysregulated.

Language has been used to wound us.

It’s time we take it back.

Being autistic doesn’t make you a bad person.

I can’t say this enough.

That's beautiful!

Today, I greatly de-news-i-fied my feed.
Maybe I can stand to use this app more as a result.

I'm already staying plenty informed through other means.

Might do something weird and read an unread book I already own.

Join us for poster and sign making before NO KINGS this Saturday! Get your creative juices flowing, and chat to community members as we get ready to go!

Four questions Williamsport 50501 is about creating community and supporting each other. Here are four questions to think through about how you can be part of the kind of community we want to build.

Thanks to those who joined us today for our public meeting here in #Williamsport! Great to remember who we are and what our "why" is as we head into No Kings 2.0 next weekend!

Weren't able to join us today? Here are the questions we asked:

#noKings #why

I assume we still do #cats here?

And after you sort THAT, then how do we start moving towards that ideal?

I'm curious how you see America defining what "men" means today? What are the things that mark you as included and what are the things that mark you as excluded from the right to equality?

After you sort that, what SHOULD be the criteria of what qualifies a human for the right to equality?

US founding documents say, "all men are created equal".

Now, at the time, "men" meant white, of European descent, male, and a property owner. Any other combination of human spectrum disqualified you from this equality right.

Our power isn't in our voice, they just ignore it.
Our power isn't in our vote, that's gerrymandered away.

Our power is in our labor.
Our power is in our spending.

When we really want to do something, those are what we'll have to use.

Fresh baked chocolate chip oatmeal cookies for dinner. Six of them. Because I'm an adult and I can.

Besides, have you seen the world?!

Undead?

Dropping a kid off at a summer camp thing for a few days hosted by a college. Two things:

1. Colleges haven't changed much, still very college like.
2. Exception: Dorm situations have improved significantly to what I had back in the day.

I injured up upper left abs last Tuesday. I'm 5 days in to avoiding much of anything for three to six weeks while it heals. And I'm ready to have my abs back already.

I celebrated Prime Day by buying what I needed from my locally owned Ace Hardware.

Perhaps my habit of getting snacks of a spoonful (or two?) of peanut butter is part of the problem with my expanding waistline.

Not sure who needs to hear this, though mostly those in power and c-suite offices, I think.

There is no such thing as low skill or unskilled labor.

How I won Mother's Day?

I took the mom of the house to Bath and Body Works yesterday and let her splurge.

The splurges showed up as gifts today. (No surprise, she knew that's why we were there yesterday.)

And she's now enjoying the fruits of her choice pickings.
