Street art in her honor from SE Seattle
A glittery tinsel-fringed illustrated portrait of Dolly Parton on a telephone pole. There's a cartoon voice bubble with a quote from her that says "find out who you are and do it on purpose."

And then they throw in some Celtic languages and yoink bits of languages from around the world along the way. The result: a language where there are usually about 10 different ways to say something, but when it comes to writing, you sit at your desk for 20 minutes trying to think of one 🤣 #amwriting

It's interesting how everything people used to proudly call "public" when I was growing up (public parks, public libraries, public schools, public transportation, public television, etc) is suddenly "socialist" now that rich people are spinning it.

The "hydration break" really is a perfect American capitalist innovation: a nakedly commercial play to insert more ad revenue into a game that doesn't have ads anywhere else in the world, all under the guise of some humanitarian interest in the players' wellbeing.

I was watching footage of the Knicks’ 🏀 celebration and someone off camera said “we can’t make too much of a mess because Zohran will have to clean it up.,” and that’s what happens when politicians care about their people.

I know you’re probably tired of me and my Knicks posts. But this right here - community, joy, oneness, and celebration - is resistance. It’s the antidote to anger, suppression, hate, and fear.

It's the end of poetry month so still time to share this brilliant poem from my now-13-y.o.. He wrote it at the early days COVID lockdown in April 2020 when he was a 1st grader, frustrated about writing poetry.
Poem on lined paper reads

I had 
an idea for a poem
But now
it is out of my mind
and wandering around
