Morning It is a fight in different places, on the front and in people's minds. That's why it's important what you do, your explanation of what Ukraine is and its beauties. And you're doing well, honestly! Ukraine is in my heart and a good portion of that is because of you.
Your work is not just for today, it is for the future.
Save NOT masking for important life events.
What a great feeling! I have some Spanish clothes I LOVE!

People who grow food for us work harder than most of us could ever imagine.

Many of the columnists seemingly egging on English rioters don't even live in the UK. Private Eye again
Workers in Western NY are setting and adjusting the poles around growing apple trees. They do this to train the young trees to grow in a way that allows for the most efficient use of space and sunlight. #WeFeedYou
I really love this. Have you read Octavia Butler, âThe parable of the talentsâ? In it, her writings are mixed with her daughterâs thoughts who never met her mother, but somehow finds her journals. It is also a novel about the times we are in.
What an amazing project. I commend you and Iâm excited to see what happens. I could see it, including pieces of your 10-year-old self. What a great 10-year-old you were!
Pass this on to absolutely everyone, absolutely everywhere. 1/2

I had the pleasure of joining Dr. Bender and Dr. Hanna for some ridicule as praxis, this time focused on AI hype in K-12 and higher education. Take a listen - and here's to the ongoing fight against Big Tech and their allies' attempts to capture education!
Sublime.
On this Chairteenth, we celebrate the good folks of Montgomery, especially our guy AquaMayne. Special shout out to the folks who, within 72 hours, recreated this in their apartment complex. A COMMUNITY!! đ

How is it that that their family ownership of a property with the address number being â666â was not a huge red flagâAN OMEN. How could they miss that? It came from their own teachings.

There is a a Black-owned bookstore in Las Vegas. It is called Analog Bookstore. Please support! #Blacksky
Maybe we should call it a bathroom (by mistake).
We all must live and find joy.
Mr. Rogers did not raise us to be this selfish and uncaring.
Not to be repeated in real life of course as that would be inappropriate, i.e., harassment.
This is a sad and impressive exhibition. The women express incredible strength and beauty with their poses and faces and the folkloristic presentation. A stark contrast to the pictures of her loved ones and their stories. Beautiful and terrible. "Let breath return to stay" đđ«
My husband took his children to nice places and we taught them table manners to help them navigate future situations.
Sad moment.

The empty chair of all those who lost their right to sit there, to simply LIVE.
So outrageous that this continues. I am so sorry and in disbelief that the world STILL does not protect against this bully. There is no justification for this behavior.

I kind of like the idea of having lots of dress-up items available, and letting them put together their own, perhaps mangled version of something that they can see clearly, but the rest of us canât ha ha.
What about clothing from other cultures that children wear at their ages?

Lucky man. Must have good karma.

In July 1868, the 14th Amendment to the Constitution granted citizenship and equal rights to formerly enslaved Black Americans. Yet today, targeted racial gerrymandering and illegal voter suppression threaten those rights. 22 days until Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD
A farm worker sent us this video of weeding lettuce on CA's Central Coast. She shares that the field is very long and by the end of the day their legs hurt from all of the walking. #WeFeedYou
Her name was Diana. She was 23 years old and 7 months pregnant. Russia murdered her today in an attack on the maternity hospital in Kamyanske.
She just doesnât show it but she did miss you.
Maybe just get her to ALSO see another doctor since she has an emotional attachment to this man.
In my local bookstore they gave it a table way off to one side, not the flow of traffic.

Seriously. (Fake) Center = DEAD. He is sooo dead inside.

The U.S. is imploding, literally dissolving its democratic mechanismsâin a public way. Yet, Black people are and will continue to thrive. How? We take care of each other. All Black people know each otherâeven, perhaps especially if weâve never met. Itâs an innate safety mechanism we all utilize.
And lives WELLâbeautiful music, artâand âwar coffeeâ.
I did not know a book existed addressing this issue that has shocked and confounded me. All these organic, back to the landers, healers, âspiritualâ types, health fans, anti-vax and some (many) veer into right wing politics that will destroy the planet the say they care about along w human health.
The judges are being brave. The problem is the people who do not honor the lawâyou know, the olde âlaw and orderâ crowd ( what they really meant was âlaw over youâ will maintain âorderâ.
