It's amazing what a difference a good night's sleep can make in your state of mind.

Living in cracks of concrete
You cannot kill hope.

Now that you know what you don't want, it's time to decide what you do want. What type of world do you want to live in and what are you doing to help make it a reality other than complaining? Big changes can start on an individual level.

It could a 4 or a 9, a r or a n or an u, a lowercase f or runes. The struggle is real.

I reached into my jacket pocket this morning and felt something crunchy. When I pulled it out, it turned out to be a fallen leaf. I have no idea how it got in there, but I'm just going to assume it's a positive sign of some sort.

Good #Monday morning Bluesky. I just can't seem to wake up this morning, so how about some instrumental #music? Lovely piano piece with Nikos Zafranas on piano.

I’m no great fan of the ACA.

I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.

But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

No surprise. Remember how you felt being stuck at home all the time during the Covid lockdowns? Pets don't use the internet, have limited access to others for companionship, and are dependent on their humans to go outside. I'd be going nuts too.

A few resources in hard times 💙

A graphic with the title "How to Help One Another - Tips for Fighting Food Insecurity." Colored icons show a credit card, a red aid hat, a baby bottle, and a plate of pasta. Suggestions: Cash donations are most effective because food banks buy in bulk at a discount. Donate to a food bank and find out if your employer will match it. Volunteer with food banks or mutual aid groups, and ask what help they need. Consider getting a grocery buddy, and assist your neighbors. Fund or give children and baby’s items, like formula. 39 percent of SNAP recipients are children. See if your local school may have a backpack meal program. Contact local businesses and restaurants to ask how they can help—such as with food drives, free and discounted meals, donations, or other alternatives.

There are some videos in the story showing plants fitted with some robotic arms and playing music. Absolutely a must watch!
