I wonder if i will ever stop feeling that its unfair that people who I know are very loved pass, while I still remain?

During these quiet moments, I like to pretend that everything's okay with the world. I'm just going to focus on the sound of the rain hitting my rooftop.

My friend who is maga from 2014. He's been very quiet lately until today and I needed to remind him. He's incapacitated and he cannot walk due to autoimmune disease.

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I'm not saying the news wire photographers kept intentionally lining Trump's head up with the Easter Bunny's ears, but they were absolutely doing that

I hop on this app and see this. 😂

NAACP lists companies that dump DEI in its tactical spending guide for Black Americans The NAACP wants Black Americans to steer their buying power toward corporations that haven’t pulled back from diversity programs under conservative pressure.

My favorite song right now is "if It Wasn't For You" by PJ Morton.

Every line makes me think about my life and the people that have always lifted me up.
