Most people think when the world gets itself together, we'll all be okay. I don't see that situation arriving. I think one by one, we all free ourselves from the chains we have chained ourselves to. - George Harrison

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Each of us carries a quiet light, a glow that cannot be replicated by another. Sometimes we shine alongside others, part of a vast constellation illuminating the sky with unity and belonging. At other times, we drift alone, a solitary spark reminding us that even in isolation, our presence matters.

If—for whatever reason—you don't (or can't) do anything special today, can't (or won't) be with others, won't (even if you want to) celebrate this day, I see you. (In fact, I see us.)
Even if you've muted words, you'll see posts about what others are doing. That's OK.
And so are we. ❤️

Mantis shrimp have extraordinary visual capabilities. Humans have 3 types of color-receptive cones (red/green/blue) mantis shrimp have 16, incl for ultraviolet light. This doesn't mean they see more colors; it allows for rapid color diff, crucial in the quick, murky & competitive env they navigate.

We don't have to be perfect; it's enough to be human. Let's make mistakes, learn, love, forgive, fall, and get back up. It's enough to have heart, to be gentle when the world is harsh. To be human means to carry light within, even when darkness prevails.

Tech bros really can't understand why we're hostile to technology that a) is frequently confidently wrong and b) threatens to ruin our already terrible lives
