Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

A woman sits down to read. She reads for 30 minutes then decides to post about work. She spends 40 minutes writing alt text no one will ever read. She then overthinks the caption for 30 minutes only to scrap it all in favor of an asinine recap that has nothing to do with the work at all. #art
