Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

I’m the daughter of an immigrant, born and raised in SoCal, educated at #CalBerkeley β€” and in 2025, I’ve never felt more proud to say those words out loud.

If 2025 has proven anything - it takes a little more than some fire to take down the #LosAngeles spirit.

I am currently in a power struggle with my husband about getting a ($$$) Sebo model where the beater is made of steel and *it is removable*.

There are 3 girls (w/ long hair) here - 2 who have allergies (i.e. we need to vacuum a lot).

I don't really think his $300 plastic Shark is gonna cut it.

The Peace of Wild Things
Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

I read this on dark days for a little solace.

FTP download for a *very* common USA #GIS resource (TIGER/Line Shapefiles) has been down since last night (but the API is still good to go). Will add some details in the comments below for some backup download options!

The weather forecast for Washington, DC is predicting brutally cold temperatures β€” in the low teens β€” on Inauguration Day.

Good.

Because...two-headed foxes are known heralds of world-wide plagues and zombie apocalypses.

Take it down. Before we all burn in an eternity of misery.

"Soul of an activist, mind of a pragmatist" is what his mentee Karin Ryan called him.

He was a remarkable man (and the only President we've had so far that had a degree in - not law, politics, or business - but πŸ‘Nuclear πŸ‘ Physics πŸ‘!). #PresidentCarter
