It's Good News because it announces a truth, about reality and what is. It's been done. It just is. I work from the factual foundation that we are one already. In all our differences and diversity, oneness and unity is the ground. From the oneness, everything unfolds. Including you. And me.

Happy Holidays! 🤣🤣🤣

NJ passes a law preventing cranky fucknuts from going apeshit on school libraries and librarians. www.nj.com/politics/202...

If you see this post, can you please help spread this information? #ASafeChoice is a referral network of physicians who provide medication abortion services ACROSS THE US. People everywhere need to know about this option. These doctors have capacity to help more women! Let’s spread word! ❤️✊

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want a bookshelf with a rolling ladder?

Have I had my mind changed on social media? Yes - NOT by arguing with randoms, but by following experts and first hand folks who share what they do, what they think and what's going on. The change isn't binary - I used to think one thing, and suddenly now another - it's slow and additive: Learning.

Every day is a good hair day when you’re being your authentic self! #pride

Is anyone else thrown out of whack by the fact that Thanksgiving is so late this year? Just me?

"I have ennui." "What's that?" "It's when you are depressed, but not so depressed that you've given up on being pretentious."

This is a very important point. Please let everyone know.

Hey, just a note: Saying people are “illiterate” if they listen to audiobooks sucks for a bunch of reasons.

It isn't "sharing your faith" when you're using legislation to do it. That's "forcing your faith." Jesus never gave us the right to impose our religious beliefs on anyone. When it violates human free will and matters of conscience, it isn't about Jesus. It's about control.

We want shalom, in the fullest sense of the word.

We are not a business. We don’t sell anything. “We are a community of servants.”

It’s all fun and games until someone gets ‘measurable accumulation.’

If you only read one novel this year…. maybe read 2 next year

Our girls. On the right, Ginny: reserved, demure, curled up—a typical cat. On the left, Peaches: sprawling, contorted, flinging her limbs with wild abandon. Also a typical cat. 😏

Ebook deal of the day! Field Notes for the Wilderness by Sarah Bessey @sarahbessey.bsky.social https://buff.ly/4eAIZpj

We're all going to die in a relatively short amount of time so I had this weird idea, and tell me if it's stupid, but maybe we could all be kind to each other until then??

YAY! I have a new children’s book coming out, “The Rainbow Sheep”. It’s a humorous story about inclusion, self-acceptance, and the joy of being different. I wrote AND illustrated the book. Pre-order yours now. Comment "RAINBOW" to pre-order from a bookseller of your choice. #childrensbookauthor

“Bluesky is an echo chamber!” Our Reply: Echo chamber? Nah, we prefer to call it surround sound for facts.

Amen!

If the books you love are even remotely political, buy physical copies of those books like yesterday. Don't rely on Kindle/Audible. It won't take much for Jeff Bezos to have books removed from Kindle/Audible. Even the ones you "own." Because you never think they will, until they do 📚 #BookSky

The first dude to figure out how to roast meat over a fire must have gotten SO many babes. Imagine you are a cavebabe and all the cavemen are just gnawing on raw meat, except this one dude who is out there making rotisserie chickens. Who are you going to go for?

The Democratic governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, says Kennedy Jr. can do good things at DHHS. The Democratic senator from Delaware, Chris Coons, says DOGE could be great. Two MSNBC stars went to Mar-a-Lago to kiss Donald Trump's ring. The capitulation must end—Democrats must unite against fascism.

The perfect ratio of unread books you own to books you should buy is WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE BUT BUYING BOOKS IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA.

And snow it begins… ❄️❄️
