Slow traveler in training. I pretended to be a retired educator from 2021-2025 in Washington, DC, Des Moines, IA & Kofu, Yamanashi Japan. Spanish. English as a new language. Elementary, junior high & adults. #LifeLongLearner #SlowTravel

Fascism isnโt some high-flown ideology
Itโs what happens when you shut down higher brain functions and think only with your lizard brain.
Hate. Fear. Violence. Cruelty. Us vs. Them
Itโs the opposite of thinking

Itโs outrageous theyโre killing innocent people, but we also need to stress, every time, that it would not really matter even it were absolutely certain that they were drug traffickers. Murdering criminals is still, you know, murder.

2 things that impress me about #Tรผrkiye: tea & calm. Tea must be something Turkish people use as a reason or excuse to slow down & hang out. Slow travel = slowing down & seeing more of oneโs surroundings.) Every mosque is welcoming.

Museum Day in Amsterdam
I cannot recommend the @rijksmuseum.bsky.social enough. One of the best collections in the world.

After a great three week visit, we are leaving. #istanbul.
#Tรผrkiye is your Western Civilization textbook up close and personal.
#Turkey has friendly people.
Turkey has tasty food

We visit military & war museums to learn some history. Turkeyโs Harbiye Military Museum gave me the opportunity to add to my โFriends of Joeโ collection.

People of Illinois, we need your help.
Get your cell phones out โ record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.
We need to let the world know this is happening โ and that we wonโt stand for it.
Strolling this evening in beautiful Istanbul.

Two things that impress me about #Tรผrkiye: the tea & the calm. Tea seems to be something Turkish people use as a reason or excuse to slow down & hang out. Slow travel means slowing down & seeing more of oneโs surroundings.) Every mosque we visit seems so peaceful, calm & almost welcoming.
