The work of bringing a more whole world into being is us, friends.

If there's anything else that might happen, great, but in the meantime: we have our marching orders to fight for love, care, justice, compassion, life.

Not complicated.

I don't like bringing up personal relationships up on social media, but I do want to say just one thing. While Aki and I are no longer together, she still deserves the utmost respect, all of the love, compassion and everything else. I was hurt and said hurtful things I can't take back.

But finally to the two who spoke the most sense.

@libdemdaisy.bsky.social bringing out the fantastic stats to shut down the racist arguments from Reform.

And @zackpolanski.bsky.social for having compassion for people and for highlighting that we still need to debate the rich and cost of living.

“I am excited to expand the Mattel universe by bringing this classic toy from my childhood to a modern audience by telling a story that examines the role of competition in a world often measured by strength and dominance that dares to reveal the power of compassion at its core,” said Vin Diesel.

I don't always agree with the general acclaim that accompanies some novels but Stoner really is as good as the hype suggests. A remarkable work of literature full of wonderful prose bringing a quiet dignity to the sometimes difficult life of a Midwest farm boy turned academic.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stoner, by John Williams. William Stoner enters the University of Missouri at nineteen to study agriculture. A seminar on English literature changes his life, and he never returns to work on his father's farm. Stoner becomes a teacher. He marries the wrong woman. His life is quiet, and after his death his colleagues remember him rarely. Yet with truthfulness, compassion and intense power, this novel uncovers a story of universal value. Stoner tells of the conflicts, defeats and victories of the human race that pass unrecorded by history, and reclaims the significance of an individual life. A reading experience like no other, itself a paean to the power of literature, it is a novel to be savoured.

25th November - Pope Leo: The poorest are not only objects of our compassion, but teachers of the Gospel. It is not a question of “bringing” God to them, but of encountering Him among them.

This week's @runforsomething.net feel-good update: A deep-dive into our 43 (!!) red-to-blue flips, including trends we identified & what's scalable to everywhere in 2026 & beyond. rfsfeelgoodupdates.substack.com/p/rfs-feel-g...
Run for Something has always been tight on values, flexible on message, and above all else, centered in community. These flips are the result of much more than an anti-Trump backlash. They are a celebration of candidates who are good fits for the place and people they ran to serve. They are the result of people with lived experiences that resonate with voters — and authentic connections to their communities — stepping up to lead. We flipped seats with former Republicans, veterans, housing advocates, moms, dads, teachers, renters, ambitious college students – young people who were done waiting their turn and ready to bring real solutions to the issues their voters feel at a hyper-local level. Some fast facts about our red to blue flips: Represent 10 states 70% municipal races 23% school board 7% state legislative seats Biggest swing from Trump’s election: Andrew Harbaugh in Clarion, PA – a district Trump won 70/30. Flipped the overall balance of power on three municipal boards and two school boards. Better sidewalks are a winner – or at least, represent a winning idea. Know the actual community issues. Understand what people are talking about at the local diner counter,grocery store aisle, or school pick up line. Go beyond the typical “tested messages” and dig into the authentic concerns and ways to make life just a little bit easier. And then shape talking points that reflect what you’ve heard. Listen, reflect, respond…It should be obvious, but most establishment politicians aren’t great at this. People want to be heard, not told what they care about because of a beltway consultant’s focus group or poll. Some trends we saw that helped propel our red to blue candidates (now elected alums!) to victory: Affordable housing is a winning issue. While the national establishment is just catching up on this news, our local candidates have been beating this drum since they filed to run for office (and oftentimes, for years before they ran). Flip Republican-coded language on its head. Fiscal responsibility, accountability, students’ rights, budgeting with taxpayer dollars in mind, increased support for public safety are all threads found in most of these campaigns. How those policies showed up, however, were rooted in solutions, not aggrievement. As one candidate put it, “prevention, preparation, and compassion– not fear.” Transparency matters. As trust in politicians and government is at a national all-time low, local candidates inherently understood how tired people are of feeling like the government is not working for them – and bringing decisions, budgets, and policy conversations into the community in modernized ways was central to 90% of the campaigns that flipped seats. Honor the place. Whether born and raised or transplanted with intention, a love, respect, and understanding for the nature of the place, its history, and its people matters. People vote for people – and people want to have elected officials that genuinely feel like good neighbors. Lived experiences relevant to today’s needs are important. The candidates that represent RFS flipped seats have real and recent stories that connect to issues many in their communities may face – from growing up in public housing or with food assistance to being caregivers, losing parents, struggling with childcare – having the first person ability to connect the dots between real life and policy impacts resonates.

It’s almost shocking to hear Zack speak; we are not used to hearing clear, strong heart-truth from our politicians.

And it’s shocking that it’s shocking.

We all deserve honesty & compassion. It’s on us to support the party bringing it.

"You can agree or disagree with him, but Polanski does not pretend to be something he is not.

He is unusually willing for a politician to give a straight answer to questions.

Does he want to rejoin the EU? “Yes."

Pope Leo is making evangelical Christians cry.
He's picking up right where Pope Francis left off; focusing on the poor, sick, disabled, & those in need. We sure need a lot more of this in society today ❤️

A tweet post from “Pope Leo XIV” (@Pontifex) shows a small profile photo of a man in white papal-style clothing raising one hand in greeting. The background is red. The post reads: “The poorest are not only objects of our compassion, but teachers of the Gospel. It is not a question of ‘bringing’ God to them, but of encountering Him among them. Serving the poor is not a gesture to be made ‘from above,’ but an encounter between equals, where Christ is revealed and adored.

How I long to be
At the threshold
Of your door
At the right time
And you invite me in.
Compassion
And understanding
Fostering kinship
To begin.
An openness
And appreciation
Of commonalities
And differences too
Bringing something deeper
For me and for you.

id say the class was split pretty evenly between those who think "illegals" shouldn't be here in the first place and "they're bringing fentanyl in the country" against those who think the process to us citizenship is too onerous and people fleeing for their lives should be met with compassion
