Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

A poem for Winter Solstice: "The Shortest Day" by Susan Cooper, author The Dark is Rising and numerous other luminous books. The image is from www.thelostland.com. The poem is © Susan Cooper.

The Shortest Day by Susan Cooper: And so the Shortest Day came and the year died / And everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world / Came people singing, dancing, / To drive the dark away. / They lighted candles in the winter trees; / They hung their homes with evergreen; / They burned beseeching fires all night long / To keep the year alive. / And when the new year’s sunshine blazed awake / They shouted, reveling. / Through all the frosty ages you can hear them / Echoing behind us—listen! / All the long echoes, sing the same delight, / This Shortest Day, / As promise wakens in the sleeping land: / They carol, feast, give thanks, / And dearly love their friends, / And hope for peace. / And now so do we, here, now, / This year and every year. / Welcome, Yule!

Only attend No Kings if y'all believe in one or more of the following: Equality, democracy, freedom of speech, the Constitution, LGBTQ+ rights, voting rights, women's rights, due process, diversity, museums, books, objective truth, stopping measles and not going to war with Portland and whatnot.

The reason you're having trouble concentrating if you are here in the US is because we're basically being chased around by serial killers and being asked to disregard the fact.

America is indeed a land of opportunity. Why else would so many immigrants want to come here — all the time — in search of freedom and prosperity. There is no America as we know it without the stories and ambitions of immigrants.

If you are an NC resident and voted in November, please check if your name or the names of any family areone of the 60K votes being challenged. If so, confirm ASAP with your Board of Elections. You only have two weeks. The website to check linked in the reply. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

newsobserver.com

NC Court of Appeals gives over 60,000 challenged voters 15 days to prove eligibility

The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

And breathe for a moment. Look at this: “Gideros” (2024) by Turkish artist, Rukiye Garip (b. 1964).

A watercolour painting of a small wooden boat floating on crystal clear water. You can see the rocks in the limpid water below, which gently undulates, developing rainbow edges to the water's movements. Light is reflected on the boat's hull, with the name 'Gideros' painted in black.

I see people deactivating various social media accounts, which I understand & respect, but I’m done letting Bad Tech Bros™️ chase me out of my community spaces. Maybe there are no more “good places.” Maybe there are only good people doing their best to navigate—& use for good—problematic spaces.

Issuing a #BookChallenge to the world asking not to challenge books! Decide not to read books in your own homes, it’s a decision between library grown-ups & library kids. Allow books to be books on bookshelves to show one they belong 💛 Every book isn’t for everyone, but every book is for someone ✨

Noncount nouns are words that don’t have usual plural forms. These are words like ‘sand’ or ‘butter.’ They don’t use indefinite articles like ‘a’ or ‘an’ and take singular verbs. “The butter is melting.” “Sand blew in his face.”
