Took me a minute to see it

Every 2 weeks, I set up a stool in the kitchen to give my son a haircut. Today before I really got started, he had his eyes closed and was smiling softly to himself. As I combed out his curls, I ask why he is smiling. He said it's because he just likes it when I do his hair. 😍

"Can you put a design in my hair, mommy?"

"Sure, what do you want?"

"I want a heart for love."

"Of course, kiddo."

We are delighted today that Clarice has just left Bradford Cat Watch Rescue and Sanctuary and gone to her retirement home with her new family.
Older cats really do deserve a loving home too.

Got plans for March 3rd?
Now you do.

Let's fight together for the future of our planet. #GlobalClimateStrike

Thank you Dr. King for inspiring many generations of young activists. On this #MLKDay, I encourage us all to listen to the Black community, uplift their voices, celebrate their achievements, and lend support in the ongoing fight for racial justice and equality.

Golden rule: If you don’t stay curious, you miss life changing opportunities.

The one thing I never realized before Mastodon is how much creativity, intelligence and versatility is actually out there in this world and how well it can coexist.

As a hermit (mostly) I don't get the chance to see it much IRL. Somewhere in the dark recesses of my brain I was losing hope in humanity.

Mastodon literally renewed some of that hope for me.

Thanks everyone, for being who, what and how you are!

With respect and gratitude, we look to the stars on #MLKDay

MLK was not only anti-racist, but also anti-war and anti-capitalist.

#AntiCapitalism #Inequality

Every MLK Day I think about how 90% of the people praising him would absolutely hate him if he were still alive today.

He was a radical. He fought for social justice. He was pro-union. He hated economic inequality. He was no fan of centrists and moderates. It’s all there in his writing, clear as day, but they don’t read those parts.

It’s easy to praise someone who’s dead. He’s no longer a threat to the status quo.

As Atlantans we encourage everyone to celebrate MLK Day by taking the opportunity to focus (or refocus) our antifascism on the causes he championed: antiracism, labor rights, community service, and true anti-imperialism. We also encourage everyone to reject the corporate assimilation of the 1960s-era Black-led civil rights movement, a cynical force which is so prevalent in our city.

"When Covid hit it exposed weaknesses in our underfunded healthcare.
The govt had two choices - improve and fund the public system, or use it as an opportunity to dismantle it and hand it over to for-profit friends.
They chose door number two."

The excellent @tilvids has created a nice simple video intro to Mastodon. You might find this useful as a basic explanation of how Mastodon works:

Fellow home cooks I tried this great Food52 chicken shawarma recipe today (after an overnight marinade) and boy is it THE GOODS. Maybe next time I’ll be more patient and really brown it up. I used a mix of skinless thighs and with-skin/bone-intact breasts here.

Someday, I will in fact do this.

Sun Sets On The Shire mixed media painting. Rolling hills, exotic tree shapes, a magically colored sky mottled by clouds with the sun peaking through come together just right to create an image that makes me think Bilbo Baggins might be just around the bend. Even if you're not a Lord of the Rings fan, this romantic image is sure to intrigue.

On one of my Ontario trips, I found myself in Goderich on the shore of Lake Huron. I spent a couple of days exploring the general area, including Bayfield and the Greenock Swamp, and in the evenings came back and explored the town and enjoyed views like this one.
