Every young person sentence online reads like this to me now:

Javier, our CEO, wanted to check in with everybody. He hopes you're doing alright. If not, you're welcome to take a few deep breaths with him and think of something you're looking forward to. Javi is looking forward to the Bad Bunny halftime show ❤️

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

This is Gordie. He's demonstrating what is known in the business as a sweetie pie semi-sploot. It's when you haven't quite figured out how to sit yet but are so cute it doesn't matter. 12/10 (IG: rubyandgordie)

Honestly, I long for the day again when I can wake in the morning and not have to brace myself from some new horror committed by a man and his regime who are feeding themselves on the ruins of public liberty.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.
They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Heard the sad news about Sly Dunbar on the school run of all places. I don’t even really know where to start with his immeasurable contribution to music and, well, everything, but watching him at work is best.
Here’s Sly and Robbie in action with Black Uhuru at the Rainbow in Finsbury Park in 1981

The collective hurt, pain, sadness, leading to collective anger. This country will take a very long time to heal. If it ever does. I wish ***you know who you are*** would've listened. We told you it would come. But you refused to believe it was coming for you, and didn't care about the rest of us.

I follow the quiet signs—
deer tracks by the creek,
water moving forward,
small miracles underfoot.
Nature keeps reminding me that renewal is real, that light finds its way back, even after the storm.
