John Lewis, Fannie Lou Hamer (z”l both) and Joan Mulholland are my action and spirit guides; drive my choices of advocacy. Long COVID caused forced work stoppage. The Disability Pride pins were created by a friend’s sister, a disabled artist.
From childhood to 75, I loved early mornings, quiet, time to reflect. Then COVID in 4/2023 led to #LongCovid and I miss the former me.
Productivity culture celebrates early rising—but the practice can come with a cost. Liz Krieger on the trade-offs of being a morning person:
The Social Cost of Being a Morning Person
Rising early is great for my productivity—and hard on my relationships.

"Potentially divisive" are the #swastika, #ConfederateFlag, #nooses - no longer #HateSymbols for the US #CoastGuard, which means the other services under Hedgehog will follow. Oh I have words - and they are not nearly as obscene as this policy, the symbols. Gifted (ha!) to read: wapo.st/3Mbd9a6
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Ah yes, the "hoax" of #ClimateChange says the US Regime PedoKing (ok, alleged until the report is really made public and if it's unredacted) and the remarkable photo of what was and what is all gone now.
Like pulling the plug of a bathtub: an incredible mass of #glacier ice disappearing at Griesgletscher (🇨🇭/🇮🇹) in one century.
It felt emotional to visit the exact same spot @swisstopo cartographers chose in 1919. The view was so different.

Long a supporter of #MRFF to honor my dad (of blessed memory), a Jewish soldier who fought fascists in Europe in WWII. Mikey Weinstein and the Advisory Board work for those thanked for their service while being forced to endure what I call an “enemy within”: the regime.
