A great tribute to a groundbreaking and preternaturally funny human being. His was the liberalism of my youth, and he continued to carry that torch as well throughout his too-short life. #RIPRobReiner
C'mon, outrage machine. Of all the horrible, immoral, illegal, unethical and absolutely unconscionable things this administration has done, *this* is what you're focusing on? Do better.
Murray Sinclair has helped inspire my doctoral studies. On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, I try to honour his wisdom and contributions by encouraging you to open yourself up to Indigenous ways of thinking and knowing. #TwoEyedSeeing medium.com/@larry.tdot....
Aw, shucks, my brother. I'm glad we had a chance to catch up. We definitely have to do that more often. You've been a light in my life for many years. If you think I have grace, it's only because you haven't seen me dance.
I share this TED Talk with all of my students. He quotes Marianne Williamson at the end: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVCB...
Paging @guitardawn.bsky.social
A white blonde woman holds the head of a young, blonde white girl who’s grimacing. The caption reads, you mustn’t let the dystopian nightmare bullshit dim your fucking sparkle.
It does feel like a win. It can be hard. The toll on your mental health is worse when you don’t.
I finally blocked a long-time family friend after she slid into my DMs and started calling names like an over-tired toddler.
If Doug Ford is serious about doing more than cosplaying Captain Canada, he'll reinvest in Ontario's post-secondary system, to support the world-class research we're already conducting and to give a home to the soon-to-be displaced US-based academics.
We'll see.
NGL I may have had this feedback at one point. Maybe more. #TeachersRock
Our local is next to an A&W. #LifeGoals
On the left is a religious figure and on the right is a young blond man. The text reads, Did you know that for 25 years Matthew Shepard had no resting place due to concerns his grave would be vandalized, and when Reverend Budde learned of this, she invited the Shepards to inter him at the Washington National Cathedral? She co-officiated the service that welcomes Matthew to his forever home and told the crowd, “20 years is not long enough for someone who is loved. Nor can 20 years heal the grief of such a loss.
I so want this to be true. Whether it is or not, it reflects exactly what we need right now.
Only if it’s from the Blocque Region of France. Otherwise, it’s sparkling wisdom.
Of course, that should read "inspo."
Thanks for the insp, Sam Cooke. A change is gonna come. medium.com/@larry.webdu...
Please understand that some of us are trying to protect our mental wellbeing by not engaging in these discussions. I’ve blocked the offending terms from my social media feeds. I find these posts incredibly triggering.
My dear friend @sameervasta.bsky.social is a gifted writer & storyteller. Here, he speaks for many of us who've had similar experiences. I find, in talking to friends my age, that many of us are feeling the same way. We care less about money & responsibility& more about doing something with meaning.
@rachelgilmore.bsky.social is restoring my faith in good journalism.
I should have known there would be a musical connection. Funny story: I bought that album in 1977 at the House of Guitars in Rochester. The next time I went back was 30 years later, and I bought the CD version. A true classic.
@mrstusky.bsky.social Explain the handle, please?
Helpful!
The bigger the bot boobs, the faster the block.
I’m here all week.
I suspect you were going for a Red Hot Chilli Peppers vibe. The only lyric I’m hearing in my head is “Down by the sea-ee-hee..”
I ask a not-so-simple favor…
Tomorrow, I’ll be spending my time honoring MLK’s legacy & posting about it. Join me.
My ask—stay aware. Take time later to learn what unfolds in DC. I saw a post on IG from Bernice King that I thought was perfect, and sharing a bit here. Take a moment…
“Civics education isn’t about advocating for one political view over another, it’s about understanding our constitutional democracy, the three branches of government, the importance of checks and balances, the rule of law.” open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
