Thoughts from a Dance Dad

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

Is this called pride washing? Rainbow washing? Diversity washing? Let's call it whatever it is, but what's the term?

Dumb-dumb did it AGAIN.

Just going to speed run the fall of the Roman empire, aren't they? (In addition to all the other good observations here.)

Dad here. How was your day? What was your favorite part? Are you okay? You are seen and loved.

It's in the city hall main council chamber where the Mayor and Council meet.

Roswell is very feisty politically, and very purple. He should have expected this.

Happy Valentine's Day, sir! May it be the best one yet.

Summer intensive audition season for my dancers. Every email is met with nervous energy.

Not should she. Intercession is a baseline requirement of a Christian minister.

The cruelty is the point. Unfortunately.

Stay warm, friends.

A Ballerina Prized for Her Musicality Deals With Hearing Loss (Gift Article) Sara Mearns, the New York City Ballet principal, announced her 10-year struggle on Instagram. She tested out her new hearing aids in “The Nutcracker.”

Send help. 🥴🙃🥴🙃😂

Graphic stating "All it takes to get Universal Healthcare in convincing Americans that paying $2000 in taxes is better than paying $8000 in Health Insurance. It literally boils down to Americans understanding that the number 2 is smaller than the number 8. Every other country has already figured this out" on a dark rainbow background.

After talking with my kids about paychecks and deductions for taxes, insurance and other stuff, this came up, and prompted a great conversation.
I don't know who to credit for this.

I started to ask which one you are discussing and stopped when I realized that's an issue too.

A dad protecting his son from people who want to hurt the dad through the son.

Good.

We can talk about how Elon is dumb. But let's also talk about how, now that he & the Techbros are empowered by MAGA, they are taking aim at the common public squares and repositories of knowledge. Wikipedia, Bluesky, Net Neutrality, & so on. They want to control you like 21st century feudal lords.

I am one with the force. The force is with me. And the like is with Mark.

Guilded Age robber baron cronyism is back with a vengeance.

As an established brand with a lot of social and sweat equity, you have a metric ton to lose if some fool got a hold of your old Xitter handle. Good for you.

Wisdom, be attentive!
Great point.

Glad to have you here, sir.

Well, hi!!

Hooked on phonics finally worked for them.
