No regrets other than wishing I'd done it sooner. The degrees took about 3.5 years, & I've been practicing for about 11 now. My advice would be: if you have a calling, take a chance and follow it! I was lucky to have a partner with a job and insurance; I know it wouldn't be as possible for everyone.

I was a solo housecleaner for 20+ years, & started back to school to become a therapist at age 52. Went to night school in an accelerated program to finish my undergrad degree (had a few credits from my early 20s), then grad school, all while cleaning houses.

Severance, by Ling Ma is so great (nothing to do with the TV show)

Hi Mark, Yes, Julian and his wife Dorothy were amazing people, so full of life and curiosity. I'll pass your wishes on to the family--I'm glad I was able to connect you with his obituary. Be well!

Hi Mark, I have no idea how or why your post came across my timeline, but Julian is my former father-in-law and grandfather to my children. Here is his lovely obituary: wildflowerfuneralconcepts.com/obituaries/j...

Trump's segregationist agenda is a reaction to Obama And we need to talk about it.

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear.

I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces.

I think this cartoon sums it up.

We kicked in $30 - not a ton but I’m hoping our modest gift can inspire others to give!

Part of fighting back is being both intentional, accurate, and forceful with our language.

So anti-woke, anti-DEI efforts and activists? Especially when those efforts result in demonstrably lower numbers of qualified Black people the ranks?

Start calling these folks pro-segregation.

Open this photo up and look for the small, white dot just left of centre.

It looks like Venus, shining brightly in the twilight sky.

But it's us.

It's Earth.

From Mars.
