Coziness in Turbulent Times
It's another year and another chance to start over. Of course we can all start over again anytime we desire (I often have in September when U.S. schools and colleges have traditionally reopened after summer vacation) but there is an energy of encouragement when you know people around the globe are planning to tweak their lives. This year I intend to make myself as cozy as possible when not at work or dealing with fighting fascism in my community, country, and world.

I really feel like dementia patients with mental illness should not be in charge…of anything. Especially the most powerful military in the world. I’m going to get bagels 🥯 and pounds of cream cheese 🧀. Here is a dandelion and a mushroom with a heart on it. The good stuff.😊🌱🌿🌼🍄🟫

What strikes me as terrifying is how many of the current CEO's are taking the worse corporate idea's from Movies in the 80's and 90's and making them a reality. What was supported to be warnings turned into aspirations for them.
I can't think of a better way to prove they are truly Evil.

I was fourteen years old the first time I was warned from the pulpit that persecution was coming and that someday I might soon have to die for my faith.

Good for her, and for Boston.
Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.
The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.
