Again for the people in back.

Democracy is not fragile. It's not an idyllic crystal statue.

It's malleable, it's a work in progress, it's clay on a potter's wheel. Yes, somebody can come along and smash the work we've put into it, but we remember how to make it again.

It can be fixed with time and effort. As long as people are there to do the work, we can fix it.

What if I told you...
You really don't know the motives and perspectives of another?

What if I told you...
You can take what you see and learn from it rather than argue against it?

What if I told you...
You'll find a richer life when you search for the good rather than the faults?

Would you consider what you're about to post? Would you realize I'm posting about you? Would you realize I'm posting about that other account? Would you realize I'm just as full of it as you are?

When everybody take the high road, we can see our path out of the woods.

If everybody takes the low road, we'll be stumbling around in the mud for ages.

A thought I had this morning:

We are insulated from foreign influence here, but not completely immune.

People bring over memes, links, ideas that may have been originally hatched and festerered in Putin's IRA.

Check everything, trust nothing, and assume Putin is still out to get us.

The vaccine is kicking my butt today.

Sore and weak. Not the normal dead tired.

Turkey: the thaw sessions.

Rewatching BSG again... First time around, my 20 year younger self didn't realize how deeply flawed almost every character actually was. And how you root for them to become better beyond of themselves and feel the struggle while they're being pulled backward.

It makes it so much better this time around.

Eyes dialated
Can't see

☕ good morning CoSo. Gonna finish the week strong.

The imaginary friend you had when you were younger was just the square root of your parent's negative friend.

When do you know if it's malicious incompetence or if it's a masterful political maneuvering step?

Ahhhh

Measurable rain!

Hopefully it gets is out of this drought.

I'm so glad my son left me some oatmeal

Decaf is just another word for "dead inside."

Good morning CoSo ☕

According to the theory of relativity, larger mass, and therefore a larger gravity well, will slow down local time compared to time as measured outside that gravity well.

Therefore being overweight will allow you to live longer, relatively speaking.

Some #ForestBathing was exactly what I needed.

Good morning CoSo.

Still one of the highlights of my day: checking the weekly logs and seeing 100,000 students matched with potential scholarships.

When you receive the message at 8pm on a Saturday "you'll receive feedback within 48 hours"
Do you expect

This young lone birch didn't get the memo that is time to give up.

Good morning CoSo.

Yesterday staggered me.

But I didn't step back.

Today I step forward again.
