1,200 faces and I still don’t know mine.
Each (Rakan) statue here was carved by a different hand, each expression unique—joyful, serene, and absurd.
If you look careful, you'll see #Otagi Nenbutsu-ji isn’t just a temple—it’s a stone mirror of the human spirit.

“Even though this book is billed as a memoir, it’s ultimately a call to action.”

I appreciate this thoughtful review of my new book, Coming Up Short. I hope it inspires some of you to give it a read.

Zuishin-in Temple, Kyoto — believed to be the final refuge of Ono no Komachi, the legendary poetess of the Heian court. Her words still echo through the moss and stone.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody."

But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies.

Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

Tatami under the knees, The Rolling Stones on the chest. Harmony is where you carry it. Silence and rebellion aren’t opposites.

Enlightenment wears many expressions: Hidden in the quiet hills of #Arashiyama, #Otagi Nenbutsu-ji is a temple where 1,200 unique stone rakan statues—each with its own gesture, mood, and story.
A sacred place of laughter, stillness, and deep time.

If the government locks you up, they have to tell you why and a judge gets to decide if it’s legal.

Without it, we’re all one tattoo away from El Salvador.

Apparently, these obvious points must be stated again and again nowadays.

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · Apr 18

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed

Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?
