I noticed this quote today in the office of a principal who passed away recently, someone who was inspiring in her care for #STL kids. 💙
Good advice.

"Now Christians don't walk out on me just yet/You know whose name I'm yelling as I'm clutching my chest/The one my dad told me to and his told him to/And I probably pray as much or more than you do/Believe? Shit, every word I sing/But believing and knowing, those are two different things" 💙

I made the mistake of trying to learn just a bit more about Charlie Kirk amid the frustrating hagiography so many weeks back, and despite the fact that I have not clicked on a single video since, the reel feeding continues. Dear Meta: Please stop

What a beautiful Saturday! It's meet-your-bike day at the International Institute for nine Earn-A-Bike students on week four of their BWorks class. Back at the shop, we convened week two of Learn-To-Ride for seven soon-to-be riders. We're so grateful to all the teachers, mechanics & other helpers! 🍁

New level of peaceful Artie/Hobo co-existence unlocked ... though Artie's expression suggests he is not totally at peace inside his soul about the situation:) Truly I don't think they've shared Joe's lap quite like this before.

Well at least in this country where we allow rage-fueled criminals and abusers of women and girls to have increasingly more unchecked power and wealth we also subject everyone just trying to get to work and school to escalating traffic violence that is not addressed by even most of the "good" pols

No aurora here in Soulard - just bright lights, a few empty water bottles, big smiles, and kids learning to ride after dark! Every pedal forward is a little victory over fear and a big step toward freedom. Thanks to everyone who helps us keep the glow going!

Witnessed emergency road assistance personnel near Poplar Street Bridge this morning desperately waving at rushimg drivers to give them and those affected by a crash space. I know I am a broken record but the bad driving out there is shameful as is the lack of accountability.

I once failed to explicitly explain that STL central time is different than eastern time (as a radio producer for our live remote segment with her) and she sent me a devastating one-line email that left me feeling equally owned (but she still joined us live 💯)
so joyce carol oates owned elon so hard he's been taking out ads on X saying he has in fact read a book and watched a movie and he's clearly spiraling and unable to recover from such a vicious own i say to my wife as she frantically pulls out of the driveway

And another! I am saddened and disgusted by the lack of local, regional and national political will to hold increasingly dangerous drivers accountable and provide actual victim resources. Do better, #STL.
Please. Slow. DOWN!! 😡🚸💔
In the meantime, all we have is GoFundMe.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?
