Happy 64th Birthday trip around the sun....

be more like Al 🤪

Happy Birthday, Al! 🎉

If I hear one more person complain about paying taxes to fund schools because "I don't have kids," I swear to god....

YOU, PERSONALLY, BENEFIT FROM OTHERS HAVING A BASIC EDUCATION.

Or would you prefer to live in a world where mechanics can't measure and nurses can't read your list of allergens? Sounds deadly but ok

In 2023, I resolve to be more like Jesus:

* make friends with the uncool kids
* water no, wine yes
* love people most when they "deserve" it least
* ask more questions than I answer
* chase capitalists with a bullwhip

@_Psyber Huh, that’s what I call it at 2AM when my bladder is full. A wee walk.

We must all fight anti-Semitism AND Islamophobia.

No matter how you feel about this conflict. If you're in America, you have Jewish and Muslim neighbors and they are scared and grieving right now, and they need to know you have their back.

We are all human beings.

There's been a vicious cycle online lately.

1) People treat empathy as a scarce resource.

2) People lash out at any act empathy toward "the other side" for fear of that scarce resource running out.

3) People legitimize the fear in Step 2 by running out of empathy for those lashing out... which brings us back to Step 1.

Empathy does not have to be a scarce resource. We do not have to diminish *any* suffering - & that includes the suffering of those lashing out.

It's trauma all the way down.
