Mr. Bon Bon @mrbonbon.bsky.social · 01/01/2025A truly phenomenal experience read by @levarburton.bsky.social. If you haven’t listened to an audiobook, let Cosmos be your first. The passion in which it was read and curiosity in which it was written will forever be etched into my mind. Thank you, Carl Sagan. 140

Mr. Bon Bon @mrbonbon.bsky.social · 14/12/2024What I liked most about this book is the humanization of folks that get labeled quickly. More people need to be exposed to the stories shared in this book. How people look out for one another. Unspoken agreements. Community. The interconnectedness of the projects. Fascinating. 010
Mr. Bon Bon @mrbonbon.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Great article, @johnpavlovitz.bsky.social this line helped: “We all need to selectively expose ourselves to media, having the discipline and restraint to know the difference between awareness and self-harm.

Mr. Bon Bon @mrbonbon.bsky.social · 09/12/2024It should alarm you how many people do not vote in 🇺🇸. We are being handed over to the wealthy who do not care about the majority. The non-voting population is only going to rise. It took a global pandemic & protesting of injustice to create the highest % of voters in 2020. Apathy kills democracy. 020

Mr. Bon Bon @mrbonbon.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Had a scary intrusive thought yesterday. Trying to thank myself for being able to right myself in the moment & not allow me to act on it. It’s also helpful for me to tell myself to “feel it through.” Allow the thought to go through me instead of letting it consume me. Trying to give myself grave. 000

Mr. Bon Bon @mrbonbon.bsky.social · 25/11/2024HS college counselor here, I just received this email. Historically, children born here are US citizens and are eligible for federal money.
