Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

This is how it’s done.

WYOMING:
“Thank you, Madam chairman.”
“I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.”
“Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

“I can bench 250” well I can read 700,000 words of fiction overnight in bed with poor lighting and terrible posture, sacrificing sleep & scraping years off my lifespan and still maintain a smile for 8 long hours at my customer facing boutique hotel job

go get a library card

It's simple really.
The more books you read, the greater the chance a magic portal will open in one and transport you into that realm.
Don't give up trying.

Congratulations everyone willing to sacrifice American excellence, pride and freedom (just to start) for better egg prices that you were never going to get in the first place.

Don’t let the desire to make “good” art stand in the way of making art.

It's ok to take care of yourself.
It's ok to get some rest.
It's ok to become a lonely lighthouse keeper and spend your days cursing the sea and your nights gently going mad as you write an unending novel about ghost cats.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

Man, I will never get over how much I love Laurel & Hardy - best comedians ever, just watched Sons of the Desert and ‘twas the mood boost I needed 🥰

the right and the good on going above and beyond

When non-Jews picture Jewish law, they often think about being bogged down in details, being clueless about the big picture, what really matters.

But we have a principle, “going beyond the letter of the law,” that informs our deep ethics & can be crucial for everyone during this new, terrible era:

Sometimes I look at the art on my walls and think about how the idea of art may be older than the idea of walls.

Psset if Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk and big corporations paid their fair share we could support everyone in need AND have universal health care AND living wage for everyone AND care economy protections AND so much more

One of my favorite parts of seeing Wicked was just how HAPPY people were leaving the theater. Adults, kids, and especially the theater geeks like me.

Hi, I’m God.

Vaccines save lives.

FACTS USED TO MATTER.
