I asked this 15 years ago, I figure I'm due:
What's your favorite Fantasy book and why? Mine: The Warlock in Spite of Himself, Christopher Stasheff. It's sweet, simple, and romantic. Strands of Starlight by Gael Baudino. Different read than Warlock, a great story of emotional growth.

Your talk was inspiring and frank. The country needs to hear more from our leaders on how to dissent in these confusing times. We're here, we're listening and we're proud of you.

YouTube video by PoliticsGirl 20 Lessons on Tyranny: by Timothy Snyder / read by John Lithgow

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Last week, I read the parable of the Good Samaritan to a lovely and devout friend. She had never heard it before.
These were basic teachings when I was young and in Sunday school.
Many of the parables are about kindness and acceptance and should be repeated.

Donald Trump Claims MSNBC And CNN Are ‘Illegal’ In DOJ Speech “In my opinion, they’re really corrupt and they’re illegal, what they do is illegal,” the president said in remarks at the Justice Department.

Imagine how it would look if the leader of another country declared networks they deemed too critical of them “illegal”

#nowwhat? Honestly compared to everything else, who cares about alcohol? It's not lives.
We have local alcohol.
I will miss Macallen, probably, but whatever.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

I'm still learning how to repost. If you go to local cons you've probably met the warm-hearted kind wordsmith Zig Zag Claybourne.
He's an awesome dude who brightens my days.
He got pretty sick but is getting better. Please donate or by buy a book or two. Breath, Warmth, Dream is a perfect choice.

Definitely in the 'getting by with a little help from my friends' category.

I'm guessing I need to set this on my PC, but yes, thanks. I post bunches of pictures.

You don't just deserve to dream, you need to dream. To share dreams. We must provide respite for our souls in infinite imagination. To birth a better world, we have to nurture our ideals together. This is spirituality; connecting with each other in the kindest most idealistic ways possible.

Joy is an act of resistance.

Strength and safety to you if you're protesting today/tonight.
