This Easter Sunday, more than any I can remember, I'm reflecting on the teachings of my youth. Of charity and compassion, of tolerance and forgiveness, of humility and sacrifice. Of unconditional love toward all. I wish you all peace and happiness this day and all days going forward.

My partner has some serious health issues so I wear a mask in public. Been thinking lately that the mask is the perfect symbol of the resistance. Show the world that we don't trust this government to keep us safe.

In the end it was all about Trump's ego, as it is with all megalomaniacs. Zelinsky was not willing to grovel so Ukrainians will continue to die at Putin's hand. Their blood is now also on Trump's and Vance's hands along with everyone who voted for them.

Probably just a coincidence, but finally got around to reading John Berent's "The City of Falling Angels". The book is set in Venice and there is much talk about the Doge. You know, the guys who over saw the Inquisition.

Just a reminder. My neighbor has covid. She's vaccinated so she's ok. But it's still out there. So that's why I still wear a mask.

So I keep seeing these adds on the internet with pictures of these old dudes with white beards and tats, totally bulked up and ripped. I find them kind of gross. All the appeal of a leather couch.

Hi all. This is all new to me. Never had a twitter account so going to take a while to get used to the format. I know a lot of us right now are looking for a diversion, some way to take our minds off the state of the world, if only for a little while. Hopefully we can help each other cope. Peace out
