Glad to find a few #uranium bulls on bluesky. That's the only thing that I miss about twitter, but not enough to make me go back. I hope more people follow @quakes99.bsky.social over here and recreate that community!

Sen. Fetterman busily (and with great moral principle!) arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. So sorry I voted for him - it won't happen again.

You don't have to agree with the way in which Mr. Green chose to protest, but you should not have voted to censure him. Extremely disappointed with the lack of leadership and urgency from most of our Dems in congress.

Grief has no time limits and it doesnโ€™t shrink, we just grow around it. Loosing your loved one physically is only the beginning, walking through life without them is the hard work. #grief #lifeafterloss

Opinion | The assault on DEI? Itโ€™s aimed at resegregation. The GOP leaders attacking inclusion programs want to go back to an era when White men ran everything

My latest.

As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality.

Iโ€™m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI.

Letโ€™s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation.

If Rubio is still a reaganite, Lindsey Graham is still McCain's wingman

This is a really good showing from a depleted Sixers team against the physically and mentally tough Knicks

I don't understand how anyone feels good about dunking on a wealthy guy trying whatever he can think of to save his house.

I have a friend who just joined and his name reads as the entire bsky,social string. Anyone know how to fix that?

There's a pretty good group of musicians on Threads now - having just gotten established there I doubt they're going to rush over here

So glad to see @mikomarks.bsky.social here - what a great musician and performer. Hope bluesky picks up as a place for musicians. We're lagging a bit in that area right now.

76ers are just painful to watch right now. Looks like the talent is there. Maybe we just need our own Steve Kerr?

Great to see you! It's better here. I'm Justin's friend from Philadelphia, met you at World Cafe last year

Not possible for a man to become a woman, but apparently not so hard for a man to become a weasel

I would've agreed immediately in his first term, but he's proven to be a bad faith actor, and I think it's far more likely that they would be used rather than useful.

The November 13th entry from Dr. Alan Wolfelt's book, "Grief One Day at a Time" reads: 
"Real love stories don't have endings ." - Gregory J.P. Godek
People die, but love does not. Mourning the death and continuing to love the person who died are not mutually exclusive. Actually, integrating loss into our lives means having the courage to continue to love, even in the face of loss. We could not stop loving, even if we wanted to. Yet because the person we love is no longer here to receive our love, we must transform it into loving memory and eternal connectedness, carrying it with us for the rest of our lives - and beyond. Now the quest becomes to travel through life still, and always, intertwined with the person who died yet open to new paths and relationships that will bring continued meaning to each of our days, until we, too, vanish into the heavens. My love story will continue forever.

I always recommend Alan Wolfelt's wise and compassionate "Grief One Day at a Time" to my bereaved clients. Today, one of them shared this with me as a beautiful of their journey.
