“None Of These Books Are Obscene”: Judge Strikes Down Much of Florida’s Book Ban Bill

This is a big win for intellectual freedom and will have big implications in other ongoing lawsuits and future laws aiming to ban books.

Card of the day: THE HIGH PRIESTESS. Knowledge is knowing what to say. Wisdom is knowing when to say it. Each, by itself, is a valuable attribute. Together, they are even more powerful.

Springsteen should hold a massive free concert in the Washington, DC, area on the day of Trump’s stupid birthday parade and we’ll see who draws more people.
After attacking Taylor Swift, Trump attacks Bruce Springsteen and threatens that he “ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the country.”

This is how I would respond to the email Musk sent to government employees.

1. Slipped out the back, Jack
2. Made a new plan, Stan
3. Didn’t need to be coy, Roy, just listen to me
4. Hopped on the bus, Gus, don’t need to to discuss much
5. Dropped off the key, Lee and set myself free

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice).

1. Refused to violate the law.
2. Refused to violate the Constitution.
3. Refused to bow or scrape.
4. Refused to bend a knee.
5. Deleted this stupid email.

From a walk last week. Snow doesn’t kill my walking vibe but extreme cold does, even when I’m bundled up to the max. Looking forward to “warmer” winter this weekend for a walk with the darling grandgirl.

Letter from my mama on the eve of Trump’s 1st presidency. And here we are yet again. Love you, mom, miss you each and every day; your love, strength, empathy, kindness, and strength. You weren’t wrong.

My advice is to folks who are feeling deep stress over the political climate. If possible, unplug. Go outside.

Physically, go outside and spend some time there, be present with the external world. If possible, connect with people you care about. Be present in the current moment.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

My idea of decorating for Christmas. Trees are beautiful and nostalgic. I’m older now, however, and at this phase of my life, I’m more into the simple and easy. Makes for a much more relaxing holiday in what typical is a stressful season

Sunflowers are the best and the bees are a bonus. My grandfather was a beekeeper and he had an outbuilding on his property where he processed honey. As kids, my cousins and I were fascinated at the process. Pic taken a couple of years ago at a sunflower festival
