Are we supposed to coo and tell you how mean they are?! Yes they are mean and have forgotten their humanity. And just like their leader, they won't turn off the whining and angry mewing. Who is your model?

A good book, one of the first I read in response to the coming of the current fascist movement. Someone's going to pick that up and get inspired. Good idea!

That is terrible, Michael. I'm concerned for my niece, a respected marine geneticist for the Fish and Wildlife, and NOA. Her current job deals with global sea temperatures and coral die-off. She is waiting for the word to come down the pike, wondering if she has a job or not.

This poem gives me peace just to read it. thanks.

I'm am flabbergasted! Time to get organized and think, think, think on what we can actually do, short of a civil war, to stop this idiocy! My little community is meeting by the ferry and protesting, yelling at the cars and people going by, but how much that is going to change things is dubious.

This generation is going to have to stand up somehow, or reality is going to be seriously changed for the worse for our children. That is, if we survive this idiocy!

Well, silence is perceived as assent. If you don't agree, and you don't want to contribute to the bad thing, I guess you must share your truth in some way. There are times when to share truth is illadvised, as we all know. That's when I guess I would choose silence.....

I must admit that I tried something like that in my class one time. The kids sat, mouths open. These days, we are't taught to speak up for the wellfare of others. We don't do a good job of standing up for ourselves. We yell about stupid things and cower when someone actually confronts us.

Just put an s where the f is. People will change it back for you. Or try a bar or a message board.

@karnythia.bsky.social Some writers are masterful in their perception of human behavior. I must admit that this time they're spot on! Rampant development and unconstrained negativity...How in the heck we will remedy this is not clear, is it?!

@lepapillonblue.bsky.social I could sit and stare at loveliness like this for hours. Thank you!
