Just a gentle reminder to myself that in these weird times, resistance is love.

Someone once told me that every writer has a subject that underlies everything they write. It can be love or death, betrayal or belonging, home or hope or exile. I choose to think my subject is love, and most specifically love for the glittering world of non-human life around us ~ Helen Macdonald

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

The devastating flu epidemic of 1918 was particularly dangerous for young adults, for people in their prime, who died by the millions. But RFK Jr. is too stupid to know that. Link below.

Timothy McBride @mcbridetd.bsky.social · Aug 29

Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics.

RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.

it's odd that a 79-year-old man who rarely moves his body, routinely feasts on fast food, and mainlines Diet Coke may now be having some health problems

do not ask
if you are not free
to continue

my heart
is not desirous
to clamour
for a love
already assigned

nor does it serve me
to covet
a man
not apportioned
to be mine

I extend
a vicarious joy
its colours brighter
than a palette
of #jealous hues
