VPR.ORG tonight: Friday Night Jazz. Beautiful arrangement of America the Beautiful. Found my self singing to the instrumental: “God shed His Grace on Thee.” Decided this is my new mantra/prayer. Then VPR played MLK “I Have a Dream” underpinned with percussive instrumentation. God bless Public Radio.

After some Costco shareholders asked the company to end its DEI policies, this was their response: “Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary."

This explains why Costco is an industry leader!

And also: Democrats—are so nice, they lost their power…BUT they “still have a little magic after all.” My dudes: do not underestimate the magic corn. It’s all we need.

Ok, so revelation time: Orange Idiot and Berger Meister Meister Berger are one and the same: make illegal and immoral anything that one stubs their toe on. Confederacy of Dunces at Christmas Time. #prescient. 1970 Santa Clause is Comin to Town.

@packers1 Where did you get this? Need three—two for daughters one for son.
Well, i wish I had words of encouragement, but even my tree is in a mood this year.

I am trying not to be afraid by what I am reading on @bsky.social, but how can I not be? The damage done in the next four years will resonate for generations. I know being fearful helps nothing. But had to say aloud that taking it all in becomes harder by the day. Any encouragement? Any Blue Sky?

I must have reached “a certain age:” had occasion for work to purchase 12 $100 gift cards for thank you gifts. Before they would allow me to purchase, they asked me if anyone had “forced” me to purchased them, and was I “sure” that the request to purchase them was official. What a world we live in!

The warning about "decivilization" didn't come after any one of a number of school shootings. It didn't come after January 6. It was after a health insurance company CEO's shooting wasn't received with national mourning:

Decivilization May Already Be Under Way
The brazen murder of a CEO in Midtown Manhattan—and the cheering reaction to his execution—amounts to a blinking-and-blaring warning signal for a society that has become already too inured to bloodshe...

@azbrittney.bsky.social, so, I do all my follow backs by hand—not automations for this discerning girl. Lemme know if I need to take a week off.

My daughter was one of almost 400 tuba players gathered at the Kauffman Center for A Tuba Christmas.

It was beautiful.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who has paid into Social Security their entire adult life and is determined to make sure Republicans keep their filthy fucking hands off of our benefits.

Same goes for our Medicare and the Affordable Care Act.

HANDS. OFF.

Is it wrong that I am enjoying myself so much in this platform? The diversity of voices and interests? The weird stuff with no posts I do not follow back? So much smart here. Is it just me? Grooving on it all.
