Ya, another social media thing to figure out!

Talk to us if you want, or just slide over to the website.

“in the cosmic blink of our present existence…it is worth keeping the Voyager in mind as we find our capacity for perspective constricted by the stranglehold of our cultural moment… I don’t think it is possible to contribute to the present moment in any meaningful way while being wholly engulfed by it. It is only by stepping out of it, by taking a telescopic perspective, that we can then dip back in and do the work which our time asks of us.”

Maria Popova

Perhaps you missed the memo, but every other social exists to sell emotional manipulation as a business model.

That's why we're here. #CoSoRocks

Good joyful morning!

The twins are back. Mama is next door eating hostas probably. But for now the fawns will have some privacy and peace while I stay inside or on the screened porch or out front.

I’m still feeling the joy of the energy and hopefulness of the next new administration.

Wow. Just wow. There about 500 million bigger problems in education than this or banning books. Why do these morons hate their children so much?
It makes me want to start a book club with all the banned books for people who wear black and have tattoos and love whomever they please.

I am still reeling over the loss of our own beloved Mark Correro 💔
He was a lovely human being and taught me a great deal, especially about the US constitution and criminal justice system.
If someone as intelligent, kind and warm as he can fall through the cracks of poor mental health, it can happen to anybody.
Please. If you are struggling, reach out. Somebody will take your hand. It may be someone close to you, or a complete stranger but there is love and support for you.

RIP Chimp. 💙

A loved one sent this message to me yesterday, sensing that I needed it:

Hey
I love you
I think you’re awesome
Don’t let any turkeys get you down

I am sharing this with you, because we all need this message from time to time.

Share it generously in this hurting world.

💜
