Wishing everyone everywhere peace and inspiration. Come what may, let us stand strong for all that is right and just. Let us defend those who are being mistreated, and live with kindness and respect as Martin Luther King hoped we would . Our task is clear. ❤️

Can’t afford eggs…that’s weird.

The Grammarphobia Blog: Whenever Harry met Sally The use of "when" and "whenever" in standard and dialectal English.

whenever vs. when? Linguists cite “eighteenth-century Ulster migrants mainly of Scottish heritage as the most likely trans-Atlantic source” of the usage in America (Journal of English Linguistics, September 2001).' #langsky #lingsky #linguistics

📌I really don't know how anybody with a shred of respect for themselves or our country is attending the inauguration of a ghastly slob who spearheaded an attempted coup, and lies as he speaks.
Which I suppose is exactly why Michelle Obama isn't ...
Thank God somebody is walking the walk.

Today in history, 1964. Panamanian students protest when the U.S. flag is raised over a high school in the Canal Zone. Twenty-five people were killed in the ensuing violence. The event played a key role in the transfer of the Canal Zone to Panama in 1977. /1

Today, we honor the life of Jimmy Carter, a man who dedicated himself to serving others. From his military service to his presidency and his tireless humanitarian efforts, he embodied selflessness and compassion.

His heart matched the greatness of his legacy. Rest in peace, President Carter.

The world needs WAY MORE JIMMY CARTER...

... and WAY LESS DONALD TRUMP.

💙 if you agree and pls pass on.

Merry Christmas!

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

California, a state of nearly 40,000,000 people, has the same amount of representation in the United States Senate as Wyoming, a state of less than 600,000 people.

This is the direct result of a deal struck between slave states and free states in the 1700s.

It’s time for that to change.

This is what I would have preferred to see.

Seashell Crisis in Costa Rica Puts Coasts at the Risk of Erosion Seashell extraction on Costa Rica’s coasts is wreaking havoc on marine ecosystems, accelerating erosion and disrupting biodiversity

On our first trip to Costa Rica in 2012 we collected some beautiful shells, which were confiscated at the airport. I didn't realize it was important to leave shells on the beach. Now, AI is being used to identify whether shells are from the Caribbean or Pacific coast & return them to the beaches.

Notre Dame review – glorious resurrection is as close to time travel as it gets Five years since it was gutted by fire, the soul of Paris is about to reopen its doors. Our critic is wowed by the buttery stonework, gleaming lead and gawp-inducing gilding

A lovely good news story amongst all the doom and gloom (and an excellent piece of travel writing to boot).
Not a fan of Paris but this definitely has me wanting to go back. Perhaps a day trip just to see it might be in order…

125 people die every day in the USA from gun violence. This is not normal for any other country and yet many Americans are resigned to it, saying "this is the world we live in now" - but NO! It's the country you live in, the society you live in, not the world 🌎 it doesn't have to be this way.

Rare sighting of a monster truck and its recently-birthed baby truck.

The holiday contrast could not be more STARK. While 45 was busy cozying up to Elon and the country-club class at Mar a Lago, Kamala was serving poor families and children at DC Central Kitchen. WE will never regret voting for HER. 🔁 Share if you agree. 🤝 #demcast #donkfriends #nodemunder1k #bluewave

I think college is overrated, too expensive and doesn't necessarily lead to better career prospects. Would be better to encourage trade schools to train skilled workers, and shift the purpose of college/university to solely focus on academic studies & degrees, not social activities and sports.
