Beloved Murphy crossed the rainbow bridge. He was 14-1/2 years old - a good life for a Springer, but I sure will miss that old boy.

“…we must remember that we are of value even when we’re not ‘doing.’
That even when the world is awful, we’re allowed to have joy. Perhaps especially when the world is awful.
That joy will help fuel and animate us, restore us when we’re feeling overwhelmed and depleted.” - @theradr.bsky.social

Why practices to connect us with our own humanity, each other, & perhaps something bigger, really matter now—
And can help keep us more whole, less responding on their terms & more on our own, more making choices as the people we wish to be.

My church, my bishop
The Episcopalians, the Lutherans … the mainline Protestant churches may not loom as mightily as they used to — but the civic muscle they can flex, or they choose to, is still formidable.
Oh wow.
Full video from Bishop Eaton, who concludes w/the story of Saint Lawrence, who defied a Roman emperor by insisting the riches of the church were the poor and needy.
Eaton concludes: “he was martyred for that. Be of good courage, church, and let us preserve.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=Liqz...

I cannot tell you fucking dumb these statements are.
The US govt spends a ton on contractors (including NGOs) to do stuff. Anything deemed not inherently governmental *by law* is legally required to be outsourced (see Circular A-76). This is how we have structured out govt forever!

Class warfare is when there’s a limit to what poor & disabled people can earn before losing their benefits, but no limit to what billionaires can hoard while avoiding taxes.
We must reject the twisted idea that money incentivizes the rich but poverty incentivizes the poor.

US Senate just passed NDAA 85-14 to allocate $895B for war. Reminder:
•End homelessness: $30B
•Insulin for diabetics: $40B
•Universal Pre-K: $60B
•Universal 4-yr-college: $70B
•SNAP for 40M Americans: $80B
•Cancel all medical debt: $140B
And we'd still have $475B left over
