Grief has no time limits and it doesn’t shrink, we just grow around it. Loosing your loved one physically is only the beginning, walking through life without them is the hard work. #grief #lifeafterloss

Go birds!

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This wins the day, extra points 'cause it's local

This is a really good showing from a depleted Sixers team against the physically and mentally tough Knicks

I don't understand how anyone feels good about dunking on a wealthy guy trying whatever he can think of to save his house.

I always donate to Wikipedia and encourage everyone to do the same. It's a good, honest starting point for real information about almost anything.

Iconic, beautiful, essential, not enough adjectives for this conversation

Central Park 1971

Is it just my feed or is it bad AI "photography" day on bluesky? Blocking.

Loved this

Snow is rhe football equalizer - it makes pros and amateurs look the same. #49ers #Bills #NFL

As long as we're going with wildly inappropriate descriptors, I like "spunk" and "pluck."

Every few months, I'll turn on one of the Sun AM news shows, see a pol lying to the host, and go back into Sun AM TV news hibernation for another few months. What is it about Sunday mornings? I mean I know pols lie all the time anyway but this seems to be a programming decision

Hey Philosophy Break, come on over

I have a friend who just joined and his name reads as the entire bsky,social string. Anyone know how to fix that?

Using this music starter pack to get more musicians in my feed

So glad to see @mikomarks.bsky.social here - what a great musician and performer. Hope bluesky picks up as a place for musicians. We're lagging a bit in that area right now.

76ers are just painful to watch right now. Looks like the talent is there. Maybe we just need our own Steve Kerr?

I always recommend Alan Wolfelt's wise and compassionate "Grief One Day at a Time" to my bereaved clients. Today, one of them shared this with me as a beautiful of their journey.

The Knicks are a strong team, but the Sixers don't have a team rhythm yet. Too many injury interruptions so early in the season. McCain is promising

For a nice addition to your Tuesday, here's a kickass collab between @flavorflav.bsky.social and #JasonSedakis (and Coach Beard backing them up) rocking at #Thundergong2024 in Kansas City this last weekend! www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3sL...

Seems like everybody's showing up here almost all at once. I like it.

I always like to use this version of John O'Donohue reading his own beautiful poem in the support groups I facilitate

If you want to understand the far right, violent extremists, White Supremacists, and Christian nationalists, these are the journalists, researchers, academics and other experts that monitor, research and provide analysis on all the flavors of the rising fascist authoritarian movement.

First pleasant post-election thought - this may actually push the Democratic Party in a truly progressive direction.
