@nytimes.com why do you not write about the millions who showed up for #nokings peaceful protests yesterday? - I cannot find your coverage. Newsworthy!

that is so weird - who do we write to? i want to complain.
I count 49 news headlines on the NYT mobile app home page right now, not including opinion, sports or cooking. None of them are about the massive protests yesterday.

a7 the US fuels itself upon myths of singular, great men when the truth is that the collective / community power is what has truly changed society for the better - think of our idealization of billionaires vs the transformative marchers for freedom, the suffragists, the justice seekers #spiritchat

a6 the impulse ‘to fix’ is so strong, yet i really have to pause ‘to accept’ and then ‘to act’ - not from a place of hate but from a well of nonviolence and love #spiritchat

agreed - ‘be the change that you want to see in the world,’ etc #spiritchat
A6 character is such an issue in our country right now because there’s so many leaders with lack of character. What I’ve learned is without character things begin to fall apart. We all need to step up and do more than ever before. #SpiritChat

new habit - i have been lighting a candle at night to tell myself it is time to turn off the socials and open my phone and read about a spiritually-based life - am reading ‘a god who looks like me’ and ‘the four agreements’ and like that #spiritchat

A4 character also matters in - who we spend our time with, how we speak of others, and what we do when we get up off the couch. Do we stand with marginalized people or profit off of them/us? character builds moral community #spiritchat
