Trump’s egotistical, self-centered narcissism has destroyed any capacity for compassion that this man may have once had.
Always, his lack of empathy, and his purposeful ignorance, are on display for all the world to witness. That he is president is a disgrace for this nation. How very sad for us.

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

Despite everything, it’s still a wonderful world.
With this piece of bread on the ground in Ottawa, Canada and the one below in Perth, Australia, @drstip.bsky.social and I have successfully created an Earth sandwich.
The hot dog vs sandwich debate is concluded.
If the Earth is sandwiched, everything is a sandwich.
HAPPY EARTH SANDWICH DAY!

Your Jewish friends aren’t ok. Your queer friends aren’t ok. Your immigrant friends aren’t ok. Your trans friends aren’t ok. Your disabled friends aren’t ok. Your friends aren’t ok. This is the rational response to everything not being ok.
This list is not meant to be inclusive, but illustrative.

So much heartache… so many tears… pain, loss, fear…
across the globe… in our own backyards…
how do we bear it all?
is it even possible?
hope… such a beautiful word… may hope sustain us through the hard times… and may we hold each other’s hand until the good times come💫

I want to leave my house less and less.
Can’t decide if it’s because I’m simply content & happy here, or I’m depressed & too anxious to face “the real world” — yeah, both, ya think?

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Reading, with rainbows. Propped up with pillows on the floor, book in hand as the sunlight strikes the crystal dangling in the window behind me. Jennifer Martelli’s brilliant poetry is my midday read. Perfection.

Absolutely this! Indie booksellers are wonderful and they have great suggestions that will surprise and delight you.
As we head into Holiday Shopping Season, a PSA from a bookseller: if you go to a bookstore and they are out of whatever specific title you're looking for... ask them for an alternate! Embrace surprise, and the knowledge of professionals! Definitely don't say "Guess I'll order on Amazon" and leave!
