November 13 is World Kindness Day. Its goal is to encourage acts of kindness. (After all, one kind day is better than none.) Here's a look at the nature and nurturing of human kindness. n.pr/49S06UX
If you're going to be kind to another human, today is the day to do it!

Oh he’s in the Epstein files? I’m shocked, shocked…

Bless Elizabeth Warren for making sure Larry Summers never achieved his dream of being Fed Chair. Small victories.

May I humbly suggest a Canadian science memoir about the history of women in botany and the struggle of being a mother in modern science research?

I read some of Philip Larkin's poetry, and I thought it was okay sometimes, even though there was clearly an angry tone here and there.
And then I read what he thought about black people, and working people going to University, and women, and whoooo yeah, I don't think I'll be reading more Larkin.

Did my bike ride around my apartment complex for the first time. The bike was dropped off here the other day. The handyman from our old place helped us out.
Had a hard time riding it up the line of the piece of lawn that goes right next to the sidewalk. Mom came outside and helped me.

It's early afternoon where I live, and I find myself listening to German opera.
What dimension am I in? What year is this?
I usually far prefer French and Italian composers.

I volunteer at a food bank called Metropolitan Ministries. It was founded in the 1960s by three Methodist congregations.
Tomorrow, I go to do my three hours a week, sifting through clothing and food donations.
This costs me $0.
If you are a nonbeliever, you can maybe find a civic organization
