@bobrhoades.bsky.social always* makes exactly the right amount of coffee.

So to do today:
Find your joy intentionally, if you can.
Love your people sweetly in little ways consistently.
Acknowledge your gratitude publicly when you are able.

#MilitantKindness
And a new one...
#CompassionateNonsense
A small moment of intentional joy and gratitude that I have overlooked for far too long is that Bob, (who, for context, included "I promise to make your coffee" in his wedding vows), always* makes the exact right amount of coffee for both of us. On workdays like today with travel mugs and on weekends with multiple mug refills. It's very impressive and makes me feel loved sweetly by a man who would hate to be described like that. Reminders for me from this: Find your joy intentionally, if you can. Love your people sweetly in little ways consistently. Acknowledge your gratitude publicly when you are able. #MilitantKindness And a new one... #CompassionateNonsense Cup of coffee nearly up to the top. Side by side of wedding picture and vow renewal.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that "I was only following orders" was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

I used to be a chef, I know a little bit about food...this is my most favorite recipe of all time.
Are you sick of having to think of a new meal every evening? Are you tired of having to prepare food and clean up dozens of dishes? I introduce to you Shredded Cheese Over The Sink! You'll never be upset by Shredded Cheese Over The Sink! (image with text on white background and a pile of orange shredded cheese)

These are the things I have been thinking about recently. Take what you need, share what you can. Living #MilitantKindness for #SelfAndOthers without turning into the flames of #Caregiver #Burnout

Also, this seems like a good time for you to sign your strike card. Generalstrikeus.com/strikecard

This is Larry. He went to a hearing in Wisconsin to voice his support for an anti-trans bill. In the 8 hours he waited, he listened to trans voices and allies speak. When his turn came, he not only changed his mind- he apologized. It's never too late to be a better person.

I am struggling this morning. It's a very high pain day. Fortunately I am able to be off work, but being stuck in bed is hard. How do you handle days like this, especially as a parent?

Just do whatever you can. Then, rest. Rest is important! Burnout =/= resistance

As you go into your next week/day/moment/breath...remember that you're here now. Both in the physical and temporal sense. What we have is now. Do not fall for potential. Achievement is what you are doing right now that aligns with your vision. #MilitantKindness #SelfAndOthers #RestIsRevolution
Melorism (noun) The belief that we can contribute to positive change and improve the world through acts of love, creativity, compassion, and kindness. Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly now. Love mercy now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work but neither are you free to abandon it. - Pirkei Avos

Hey, I love you! Quit doom scrolling. Did you take meds? Wanna get a warm drink? Taken a deep breath in the last few minutes? Wanna get a more comfortable position? Relax your eyes & shoulders. Drink some water. Find sun.

Dare:
Take a pic without moving your phone.

If you are going to make noise MAKE IT LOUD.

If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.
(Zora Neale Hurston)

Thank you @algreen.house.gov for standing up and speaking out. May we all have the same courage.

"It's not your job to feed the 5,000...only to bring the 5 loaves and 2 fish."

I'd edit it to say...IF it's not your job to feed the 5,000 make sure you are at least keeping the water clean for the fish and the wheat growing for the bread.

This is #MilitantKindness

Instructions on Living in a Broken World Lean into community Seek out love Applaud the good you see Keep paying attention Talk to your neighbors Dance to the music and embrace art Look for love and small joys Take breaks and relish in nourishing your body Donate what you can Linger at the dinner table with your friends Check in with your people Let yourself grieve Love one another as deeply as you can The storm is upon us and we must hold on Don't give up Still we rise

For the folks who hated halftime, how do you feel about "The Times They Are A-Changin'" by Bob Dylan from 1964? Because basically that's what Kendrick Lamar said...60 years later.

Not being a fan of the KC teams and living in Kansas City is a challenge. I'm not rooting for or against anyone in this game.

Is it time for baseball yet?
