Several of my friends and acquaintances are ditching this paper. Good journalism should be considered essential, especially now. #supportgoodjournalism #letyourlovegoviral

"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.' -J.R.R. Tolkien The Hobbit, pub. 1937

I'm working with ChatGPT 4o to help me with my "IMAGINE THIS!" concert/talk. We talked about creative sparks. My spark for the day was how days of heavy snow can change the wayyou think. 🤔 The AI gave me a 6 word sum up that was fun and smart! Have a look! 👀

I'm listening to Austin Kleon's 3-book series these days. It's been hard for me to post anything for awhile with the political world in such chaos. What can we say beyond OMG! Stop!? So I needed a bit of a push. Thank you Austin for the push...

I'm playing with the new AI "Image Playground" on my computer. AI tells me that when I am not begin cranky about current horrific politics, I look like this. It's wrong. But I'm sharing anyway... Now and then I gotta lighten up.

Grrrrr. Today, I cancelled my subscription to Washington Post that recently changed their mission statement from "Democracy Dies in Darkness' to “Riveting Storytelling for All of America." Sheesh. I'm gone - along with many thousands of others.

Welcome. Great to know that you are here! xxx

Well, now... greetings all. Here I am in the blue sky.

From my vantage point, women over 50 are becoming more and more visible. And they need to be in these rather dangerous times. Thank you for your YouTube channel featuring women who have things to say!
Great to see you here Gail!

Thank you! I’m thinking of closing off Facebook. But I want to see how things go here on blue sky first. Nice to see that you’ve been here a long time. You’re a founder!

You just lived through the hottest year on record. Again. Scientists on Friday confirmed that 2024 was the first to surpass a dangerous warming threshold of 1.5 Celsius that nations had pledged not to cross.

We’re now testing the ability to federate Surf feeds to Bluesky.

To kick things off, I’m federating Voices for Democracy which features posts from 120+ journalists, writers and leaders. Only politically related posts are shown thanks to Surf’s topicality filter.
