Ditch the plans that feel weird.

Pay the compliment out loud.

Keep a wish secret.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I have a rule that if I find an obituary when researching something, I stop and read it. Today's was Jim Thatcher. Not really an obit, but the search yielded a notice of his death. He helped make one of the first screen readers:

I've seen people referring to themselves as TikTok rufugees and Twitter immigrants. I get that there is loss and pressure to move, but it feels pretty gross.

Perfect example.

Using my little corner of the internet to underscore the importance of remembering your health. Eat, rest, take vitamins, say no. You can help, but none of us can or should do it all.
