First, Steves finds a way to talk about institutions and oligarchy that is dirt simple:
1. Institutions are PUBLIC WEALTH. They are our shared wealth, dammit.
2. Billionaires can't stand wealth they don't control.
3. So they are going to dismantle our public wealth to better bleed us dry

This. National Parks, Medicaid, Medicare, Museums, Libraries...these are all things we have put OUR money into for decades--
OUR wealth built these. The oligarchs are stealing the things we own.
Yay @ricksteves.bsky.social for putting it into perspective.

@cherylklein.bsky.social , wait till he reads Gregor the Overlander. Even I couldn't kill a cockroach for years after that.🙄
This morning I wanted to teach the 6yo a NYC natural history lesson & called him in to look at an inch-long cockroach stuck in a glue trap.
The 6yo decided the cockroach was cute and put a stray oat next to it so it would have something to eat. 🤣

This is hilarious! I, too, have read this book 4,000 times.
I am wearing a cute new hat today that my son informed me he does not like, and so I am thinking about this “Open Letter to the Female Hat-Wearing Dog in ‘Go, Dog, Go’”: theuglyvolvo.com/an-open-lett...

The anthology is called "Where the Mountains Speak" and is the first publication from Gilmer Arts, a non-profit creative arts organization located in Elijay, GA. I saw the call for entries in the Atlanta Writer's Club newsletter asking for local authors with stories about Georgia, and I remembered the horror piece I'd written for the Writer's Night of Fright event last year at my public library.

This! It's about the for-profit model of caring for your health. Other countries actually put health over profit.
It’s never about healthcare. It’s about insurance plans.
