Ta Ta for now. It's too nice a day to just sit here and ruminate.
All right, back to work.
Stay informed, but take care not to let the act of staying informed leave you feeling powerless or overwhelmed.
We have a lot of problems.
We won't solve any of them by allowing ourselves to feel that, just because they are Big & we are Small, we can't do a dang thing to help.
Take stock of where you can support more people around you: yourself, your families, your neighbours, your 'hoods.
And practise gratitude for the little things.
Take it all one day at a time.
A Note From the Desk Tacitus Kilgore:
Be it known that I will be curating my FILTER list today. No more politics, no more war. I'm tired of seeing it. So if I don't respond to posts as per usual that is why. You are not personally blocked, only some content. Thank you for your understanding.

Balancing out that little gripe with something more material:
My heart aches at news like this piece about surging UK homelessness. What have we wrought, with all our wealth and opportunity as a collective?
Or more to the point, what have all the abiding lies of cultural superiority and triumph kept us from being *able* to build, in the way of communities that actually serve to uplift their members and more of the world?

Just say "NO" to spreading their filth, lies and hate. We know who they are and we know where they stand. The line has been clearly drawn. There is no need to regurgitate their shit.
They speak to their people. The ones we cannot change and I'm sure no one here who needs to be reminded day in and day out of their wickedness.
JUST SAY NO! STOP THE CYCLE OF MADNESS TODAY!
The backyard needs to be mowed really bad. Like code enforcement could fine us bad.
But I can’t bring myself to mow with all the bees enjoying the dandelions.
I like watching the fat little bumbles, covered in pollen, flying from dandelion to dandelion.

Google doing good, it seems.
"YouTube Health first launched in Canada in 2022 to make it easier for people to find trusted health information online.
The platform has also already paired with health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children."

In a need to even the keel and to get out of my head space today I will attempt to regale you with some lighthearted, possibly educational content.
I stumbled across this and I am currently watching it myself.
I too must shuffle off. Way past my bedtime. You folks are just so damn interesting. And a little weird, but that's a good thing.😉
Goodnight.
Night all.
Take care of your hearts.
Watch your fool noggins.
And above all else, give yourself grace--and others too--for doing what seems right at the time to get by.
It might not look that great from the outside--and you or they might live to regret those actions later on--but for now? *Right* now?
It is what it is, and it'll have to be enough, until you or they get to the point where a brighter idea comes along. 🫂
Well. It only took me 55 years but I think I finally figured out what I want to do for a living. There is a program in our province that may allow me to finish my university education and have it paid for. Plus they provide a living allowance while studying.
I want to spend what working years I have left in the field of Human Rights.
Better late than never I guess.
