All I know is something like a bird within her sang. All I know she sang a little while and then flew on.

We'll miss you, Donna Jean. You are now and forever one of the Grateful Dead.

Wish that were the case this time, but no luck. Our bee joins the next adventure. May the flowers there be even more delicious.

Randi Weingarten’s AI Betrayal - Truthdig A new program funded by Big Tech is a Trojan horse, allowing it to infiltrate public education and lock in long-term influence.

Check this out. I’ve been seething about this since August.

It’s the best response. This shit isn’t inevitable. I’m tired of acquiescing to ai’s role in a classroom, in any classroom.

Me too. AE Stallings is so good. She has series of Alice poems that I love, too.

A carpenter bee died in the night holding a lantana flower in our front yard. There are less lovely ways to go. #flowerreport

Honestly, I don't care what people seeking assistance at food banks do for a living, whether they work or not, what they drive, etc.

People are hungry. Give them food to eat. Plain and simple.

Landon’s rooting for the Dodgers because she thinks it’s bullshit that Toronto gets an MLB team but Mexico City doesn’t. I’m rooting for Toronto and pretending it’s Montreal and Pedro Martinez is still pitching (and throwing Don Zimmer on his face).

There’s always a cat🀣🀣I came home today to an orange one in the driveway having a stare down with neighbor cat Lydia. All while my one true cat is at the glass door losing his mind.

You're also not a sucker for believing in people. I get the sense that this needs to be stated from time to time.
