Being woke is about NOT punching down, but helping others up. If you are woke, then by definition you are aware, conscious, inclusive, empathetic, evolved. If you are not woke, then you must be asleep, ignorant, unaware, apathetic, indifferent. What kind of human do you want to be? Please think about others, and not just yourselves.

A sure sign of spring - turkey vultures are back and looking for stuff to eat, or playing aerial 'chicken' with each other!
