Back to the beach for a week. Until May,…

My conscience is clear
I know right from wrong
That’s a lie, I know nothing

There’s more to learn from the look in your eyes
A trip round this world
Or the stars in the sky

Heading into the weekend with memories of past joy

Sunset

I will miss the beach. Until next year.

Well, it was going to come to this in the end. Would America evolve from its white supremacy and finally become the country it pretended to be or would it self-destruct? A plurality chose the latter, and we're going to see it play out in our lives.

Republicans will confirm the thoroughly and dangerously unqualified RFK Jr to own the libs even as he will end up killing their base. It's a death cult.

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

There aren’t even eggs in the store. They must be so proud.

Instant gratification, greed, lack of sense of community, toxic individualism, lack of critical thinking, no empathy, apathy, etc etc etc. It's all coming together.

When I was very young….

If only we sent money to the state and then the state sent it to the federal government - unfortunately, that’s not how taxation works.

You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What? For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrier—or maybe an excuse.

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

Not like he signed the bill or anything…

I was 13. On Martin Luther King day, I walked to the theatre. The attendant asked if I had an adult with me - I said no - he said I couldn’t see it. So I bought a ticket to Aladdin and walked into the Body of Evidence theatre instead. “I never know why men lie; they just do. Men. Lie.”

She’s even in my dreams now - I am going to give this world a Hatshepsut like they have never dreamed of. 👑
