Pocket likes to destroy toys at a rapid rate. He’s very proud of his new PR. Much love 💕

“Don’t ever let yourself be a victim. Our culture thrives on victimhood. We love to invoke ‘I can’t’ and make excuses. The truth is we tend to make time and have money for what we think is important. Be the change you want to see and refuse to blame others or circumstances.” -Joel Salatin

I keep hearing people say that we should not panic we will get through this somehow we will get through this, but I must confess at this point I am beginning to lose track of how many catastrophes we are currently trying to get through.

Gonna make a $24.19 donation today because when you actually show up to call out the harm being done instead of just going along with it, that deserves an acknowledgment. Well done to the Senator from New Jersey.

Is there anything posted? I followed the link and got to the website but there are blank spaces (see pictures below) and no menu to navigate to other pages.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Please, please read and donate if you can—and share if you can’t. There but for the grace of God go all of us—and we all need to be able to believe in the good of humanity.

I am so sorry. I know hearing “it’s brutal” doesn’t help, but hopefully there is no doubt in your mind that you are doing everything you can do. We are grateful for your efforts.

I can understand wanting to lighten their load freshman year, but having no language doesn’t really correlate to doing better in other subjects. Is she excited about a language or is it a box to check?

I went to give blood today, met a lovely French family, and scored an invite to a francophone gathering at their house this afternoon. Doing good never paid off so quickly. #GiveBlood #MultilingualismRocks

This Sunday, my wife and I are shaving our heads to raise money for pediatric cancer research (which received 4% of total cancer research funding BEFORE...all this). If you are interested in making the world suck a little less, we would be so grateful for your financial and signal/boosting support.
