Hello friends and if this crosses your timeline and I do not know you, I will ask from one soul to another to remember me in whatever way you do. Today is the first day of fall and I have never in my life went into what is a happy time and the beginning of my year with such a burden.

I am grateful that we live in a time where antidepressants can help individuals with depression. But there is a problem with the fact that the minute someone starts to show emotion, especially those who are uncomfortable with it and have a hard time opening up, someone suggests antidepressants.

Opinions wanted: Do you think that people who are inherently distrustful are untrustworthy themselves? The reason I ask is because I am dealing with someone I know professionally who you cannot seem to convince you will do what you say you will do. They phone to check up on others almost daily.

It was said during the ceremonies that 100 million Americans were born after 9/11. It is up to all of us to share our stories and those of the brave heroes not only who rushed in to save their fellow Americans, but to those whose physical and mental health were compromised due to their service.

25 years ago today, the most horrific terrorist attack our country has ever seen broke our hearts. For me, it was the city I adopted, its people, and they adopted me through the work that I did to reach its most vulnerable. It is the best city in the whole world. ❤️ We will ALWAYS remember you.

Happy Labor Day! I am a PROUD spawn of a union parent. It provided well for our family, including good wages and wonderful healthcare for all of us. That meant a lot to me when I had two surgeries when I was 13. My family did not go into debt. The fight for worker's rights continues. Keep fighting!

Women are paying Trump’s #CostOfCorruption as he sabotages our healthcare and our futures. That hits harder today as we mourn Gloria Steinem, our champion who died with fewer rights than she helped gain — and whose legacy demands that we reclaim the freedoms we all deserve. 🕊️

We get to start our classes with a few minutes of social-emotional learning or other type of learning activity. My students are going to learn who Dolly Parton was. ❤️ The younger generation probably isn't as familiar with her but it is up to us to tell stories of the amazing women who shaped history

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.
“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”

When the Gatlinburg Wildfires happened in 2016, Dolly gave impacted families $1,000/month to help them get back on their feet. This included my father-in-law, who lost everything in the fire. Dolly gave children in TN free books each month, from birth to the age of five. She was a goddamn saint.

Dolly donated most of her royalties from Whitney Houston cover of I Will Always Love You to a historically black neighborhood strip mall in Nashville. And she was a Boss. Sadly refused to have Elvis sing that song because his business manager wants Elvis to have half or all of publishing rights. 👏

I started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money. That's Dolly.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

Noooooo. ☹️ She was just an amazing, giving angel on this earth who never forgot the poverty she grew up in. She gave back in so many ways, including literacy, disaster relief, and even COVID research. On top of that, she was a legendary musician. The world is not as bright a place with her in it.

The current postmaster, David Steiner, is unsurprisingly anti-union. He was head of Waste Management; you may have as your municipal trash collector. While there, he reduced union members from 32 to 20 percent. He also led collective bargaining suppression at FedEx. He cannot be trusted.

I am a proud USPS spawn. Besides providing well for families, the USPS was NEVER in its history a political organization. It is now being used to suppress the rights of voters, override state and local autonomy in elections, and with no valid basis.

Late Friday night, #USPS announced it is moving forward with a final rule that could change how we vote by mail. The timing was deliberate. Bad news gets buried on Friday nights. This is not bad news you should let get buried. Here’s what’s happening, why it matters, and what we can do about it:

Our schools start on Monday around here, two weeks before Labor Day. That's the earliest they have ever started. This might work a little bit better because starting school for 4 days and then a long weekend is not conducive to learning. We started after Labor Day, which I think is preferable.
