Two colorfully dressed flamenco dancers, one dressed in red, the other one in blue.

Every year there is a Feria in Chapala, Jalisco. They invite master craftsmen from the region to show their wares, and have a stage set up for entertainment. In 2019 they had Flamenco dancers. It was an incredible show. #chapala #jalisco #flamenco #mexico #photography

Local art that I picked up at an art festival here in Ajjic for the music studio where I do my mixing, writing and recording of music! I can feel the vibe in the air! #chapala

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee.

These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment.

Very Well Said….
Let’s Do This!😊💙

Pride matters because right now, someone believes they don’t deserve love, just because of who they are or who they love. Congressional Equality Caucus.

We don’t celebrate Pride for the rainbows or parades, we do it because *right now* someone out there believes they don’t deserve love, just because of who they are or who they love.
 
That’s why we celebrate Pride—because we want to build a world where no one feels that way.

Screengrab of transcript of todays Savage love episode, beginning: “Hey everybody, as you can probably tell from the sound of my voice, I am sick. Here's what happened. I took a bus to a train to an airport and then got on an airplane and flew to another airport where I got on yet another airplane and flew to yet another airport where I got on a train to a bus that got me home. And somewhere along that line that long lines, somewhere on one of those planes or trains or buses or in one of those airports or train stations, I managed to contract the new COVID variant that's going around. So to these small number of people out there, I saw in those airports and on those planes and in those trains and on those train stations wearing masks, masks, you were right to be wearing masks. And the rest of us, myself included, who were not wearing masks, we were wrong.”

Today, @dansavage.bsky.social
tells us he caught the new COVID variant while traveling & is super sick.
He also says: The masked? We are right to be wearing masks in airports, planes, trains & buses.

The new variant is unpleasant. Please do your part to avoid it. 😷

Feel better soon Dan!

It takes nothing from society to let people be themselves. Literally nothing.

But it sure takes a lot to deprive people of that ability.

It felt like a cool May, but only because we're frogs in a pot of water that is gradually boiling.

Good for Bill Gates

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

I was pulling some weeds in my back yard when a Little Blue Heron just ambled right past me completely unbothered, plucked a lizard off of a bush next to my garage door, and ate it.

A timeless reminder to embrace honesty in all we do. #Stoicism #Truth #Integrity

RFK Jr. may have inspired acting US Attorney’s harassment of medical journals Ed Martin's nomination may be DOA, but MAHA lives on.

Ed Martin, the acting US attorney for DC, has harassed medical journals with letters accusing them of acting as “partisans” in scientific debates.

Those letters may have been inspired—even directed—by RFK Jr. @dfriedman.bsky.social reports:
