I had a wonderful conversation with two of my heroes, adrienne maree brown and Autumn Brown, on one of my favorite podcasts. About hope, change, climate, power, stories, survival, solidarity. Warning: laughter, singing.

The Democratic Party has a mailing list of 10s of millions of people. It could, if it wanted to, send out mailers next week to everyone alerting them to this.
This is a really big deal that will impact MILLIONS of people:
"For example, if someone paid $60 a month for their health insurance this year, they might be looking at $105 a month next year. "

I don’t have a stable BOY routine, but in the first week of school in every class, secondary students should:
•read something meaningful to the subject
•write organically about themselves
•say their name aloud
•talk to their peers
These activities give data about the soft skills of any class.

Many of us reference @prisonculture.bsky.social's wise guidance that hope is a discipline. So one way I'm committing to that discipline is starting @onbeing.bsky.social's hope portal series with journal prompts. In case anyone else finds that useful onbeing.org/programs/kri...

Theme lately as I chat with colleagues where they tell me all the ways they hate their employer then also mention that if I was willing to move they'd bring me on immediately and I'm like, y'all hear yourselves right? Why on earth would I want to work at the place you just described?

Today's note to self: this version of my book is the worst version it will ever be. It will only get better from here. I have to write the shitty version to get to the amazing version.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.
