Cat & Dog mom; Yooper: Not as sharp as I used to be
Nothing you learn is ever wasted- Dr David Goldsmith
Pinned
DEI is not a threat, it's a gift. And the more voices, the more powerful the sound. When destructive forces try to burn us down, we rise from the ashes like a phoenix and as you see tonight, music is the unstoppable language that connects us all. It's so beautiful.”- Alicia Keys
15 books is my 2026 reading goal.
I read 23 last year.
I want to be successful and enjoy reading without pressure, yet somehow still want a number.
I completed 75% of the PopSugar challenge - I love fitting each book into multiple prompts, when possible.

I teach at CUNY where this is just the average mix you'd get if any 3 kids sitting together. It truly is NYC, the best of NYC.
“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Relationship thread for 2026:

Be happy.
Be content with who you are.
Be true and truthful with yourself.
The work you then put into relationships will be genuine, and not burdensome.

America, how long? How long are we going to tolerate an insane leader, a compromised Congress and a corrupt Supreme Court? How long?

What are your reading goals for 2026?
Your goals can be- read whatever I want- no need to keep track; read more non-fiction; join a book club; read only library books...
I'd love to know what inspires you! 📚🥰 #read #booksky #2026

Watching my daughter grow up without evangelical religious trauma is breathtaking.

She’s not scared of a hell, or a god who would condemn her to everlasting torture, and she’s never heard of a rapture. Growing up without that fear really does something good to a young person.

He’s not hiding his medical records because he’s healthy, and he’s not hiding the Epstein files because he’s innocent.
This isn’t complicated.

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…”

Read that again.

Will start 2026 strong:
My TBR list is close to 200 books. My bookshelves have 80-90 more I haven't read.
I read 20-25 books/year (23 so far this year). I should be good for the rest of my life. 😁❤️📚 #booksky #read

How?
How do you just casually walk across an ice caked parking lot, all carefree and steady?!
Here's me with a cane, walking like a slomo penguin, and flailing about.

There’s a reason the political right wants to keep people dumb.

Just finished this book. 4⭐️ - I did like it. The translation to English (from Japanese?) fell flat for me; with the emotional connections losing their power. I did want to give all the traveler's and cafe employees big hugs- which Im not sure would go over well, culturally. #booksky

I'm at work.
Winter is giving its worst with icy "mixed precip" layering a thick sheet of ice on the roads, sidewalks, etc. Treacherous to walk or drive anywhere.
Ofc, the customers keep coming.
A travel customer even wanted to drive 45 min to get here.
Not advisable. 🫤⛷️

The media is trying to cover for Trump with the latest Epstein drop. MS NOW is covering for Trump, CNN, NBC, CBS all of them are covering for Trump's guilt. They all say he isn't guilty, which is BS. Sad our media can't point out Trump is in fact implicated in these crimes.
