Remember Monday starts week eight of the #BBBingo challenge. Pick 4 prompts & post your images then yell BINGO! If you feel ambitious cover all 5 prompts or cover your 4 with less than 4 images. Go crazy & be creative whatever you do have fun!

Share a song you love that you only discovered when watching a film or tv show. Mine is “O Fortuna” by Carl Orff from John Boorman’s 1981 Excalibur.

I’m sorry I’ve been posting more politics than usual. But my city has been directly in the line if fire this week. It’s stories like this young lady’s which is heartbreaking and also the perfect example of why I fight!

My final entry for this week’s challenge, my favorite memory from being a child actor filming this episode. I was 7 & I remember at the end of the shoot they gave me the miniature prop kite.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

This is a good thread recapping what happened tonight at #Newport City Hall as we prepare to fight to prevent ICE from having any footprint in Newport. The crowd picture doesn’t look like much. But if I took a picture on an average night there’d be hardly anyone from the public in attendance.
The “no to ice” frog. Newport city hall packed to overflowing.
