Starting my day and sending love and solidarity to you all ❤️✊🏽💜

Thank you for the comments I showed them and it seems to have helped. I'm hoping this post will help me encourage them to join mastodon.

In case you don't believe those of us warning that "the economy" is being used as a smoke screen for rich people's profits, here's more proof.

"Richest 1% bag two-thirds of $42 trillion in new wealth." - New Oxfam Report

Like it or not we're in an all-out class war. The rich don't care about us, about our kids, about our parents and grandparents, and most of the media and politicians are in their pockets.

Don't go outside, Lily. You'd blend into the snow too much. Give the birds a chance. #Cat #snow

As an aside, if the state you live in celebrates someone other than Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today, then your state is a shithole state. Yes, this means you, Alabama and Mississippi. #MLK

“We live in a society which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by corporations, by religious groups, political groups.
So I ask in my writing, what's real?
cause unceasingly we're bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms.
I don’t distrust their motives;
I distrust their power.
They have a lot of it, its an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes of the mind.”

―Philip K Dick

My youngest kid FINALLY tested negative for covid.

He was a few days behind us getting covid.

Grateful none of us in the family has covid anymore.

That was brutal.

We are all vaccinated & we are responsible about wearing masks indoors or else it could've been much worse.

I'm finally feeling almost 100% better after 1 week testing negative, still got minor congestion.

Please make sure you all have all your vaccines & boosters & wear masks indoors. ♥️

Here is my friend Zazu. If you are wondering why he has his nose stuck in the tractor bucket, I had moved some grain feed with it recently, and there was a hole in one of the bags.

@_L1vY_ @PStaelens yep.

It’s like when people say “I was OK with everyone until [X bad interaction with person of color] happened. Now I just don’t feel comfortable around them.”

No. You already had those biases. The interaction just gave you an excuse to reveal it.

We know this because you’ve likely had similar interactions with people from other groups and haven’t decided everyone from that background is bad.

Someone doesn't look happy this morning. He must not realize that it's #Caturday

Serenity.
Black and white photography emphasizes silence, loneliness, depth.
There is nothing superfluous here.
Just look at this photo.

Racists quoting Martin Luther King Jr. to make racist points is one of this era's most sickening features...

One of the most obvious facts regarding the GOP is that they have forgotten how to do anything constructive, apparently on purpose.

They excel at obstructionism, lying, misdirect, infighting, and electing clowns. Now they want to "investigate" a laundry list of fallacious "plots" and impeach all they think are their enemies. Clearly, they are not prepared to govern and electing a weakened McCarthy as Speaker confirms that point.

Republicans have zero interest in continuing to build on the Democrats’ work on infrastructure or anything else.

They are a fractured collection of individuals calling themselves a party that have no real policies or ideas of what can be done to move this country forward because their idea of making things better is regression. The Republican Party’s core message is white grievance and the rejection of the common good.

That won’t solve any modern problems.
