Hey… if you’ve been carrying more. Not all at once — just in pieces. A thought didn’t finish. A feel set aside so things kept moving. Nothing dramatic. Just a quiet weight.
This is a place where that weight can sit for a bit.
This is Ink Radio.
Let’s pass on music.
So peeps stay human.

Missing my dad — wish I could lean on him, ask his advice
I found a beautiful letter my dad wrote to me on my first birthday

It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. If the government can execute you on the street or in your own home on a whim, you have no rights. None.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Sorry to interrupt, but we have a little problem over here in the US, and kinda hoping you could help?

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

I will NEVER forget the shocking brutality of the insurrection five years ago. I watched it live at home in NW DC, just a couple of miles from the Hill. Worried for my friends who were staffers, scared for all of us.

It’s Meningitis Monday! Meningitis for all!
Do you see a pale house? And his name that sat on him was Death.
Robert F Kennedy Jr has just decided that our children should not be immunized against several diseases, among them meningitis.
Meningitis spreads FAST and kills 1 in 6.
