I don’t know who else needs to see this remarkable image - hopeful, grand, fierce. Like a baby elephant surrounded by the troop. Becoming.

This may be way down on the list of things that matter from @booker.senate.gov momentous and historic speech yesterday, but I am so moved by the example he set of elevating all the other people and voices around him, from average Americans to his Senate colleagues past and present. True leadership.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

If you are a @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social fan, take some time out to watch this segment from @jaketapper.bsky.social about the Birds. It's amazing, and also a big lesson about being resilient when people don't see your worth. Thanks Jake, this was glorious.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

Doh! I’ve got it! Lutheran Social Services must have been targeted for having the words Agnus Dei somewhere on their website. “I’ll get you my deity, and your little lamb, too!” You might be next, @elcalutherans.bsky.social

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

When men rage, they blow and shoot things up and start wars. When women rage, we create. We knit, do embroidery and cross stitch. We create new things ... while we figure out how to fix the broken things. Behold rage project #1

It's weird that Looking for Alaska is the second-most banned book in the U.S., and mostly challenged by evangelical Christians, because the novel is about Radical Hope and how forgiveness is available to all people at all times, which are Christian concepts I wrote about because I'm a Christian.

Going through gazillions of emails deleting the vast majority while still scanning for familiar names. Get to Brian Fog. Who’s that? Go to subject heading: 5 signs of dementia. Go back to name and see it’s not from Brian Fog but Brain Fog. Sheesh. Foggy indeed.

New here. I scroll for inspiration, motivation, and hope. Down with doomscrolling. Up with blue sky flying.
