And how many of those Facebook people can claim 100% Indigenous ancestry? If not, then they’re talking about what should happen to *them* and should have happened to their non-Indigenous relatives who came here. Because apparently simple empathy for another human isn’t enough for some folks. 😢

That’s like saying, “The Black Death in the 1300s was actually *good*! It opened so many job opportunities and effectively weakened the serf system to enable a nascent middle class! YAY FOR DEATH RATS!! Whee!” Um…but it killed 50 million people.💀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀

The Latin name for stinkhorn is literally “Phallus impudicus,” meaning “shamelessly penislike,” but I’ve always thought of it as “icky dicky.” Like…this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallus...

What would put me into shock wouldn’t be the bite. It’d be the bill. Seriously, I bet more than a few people in this country would pull out their cell to call 911, if they were bitten, but then do a little mental math...and put it away.

I was told that exact thing when I went through the Chollar Mine tour in Virginia City. The timber braces are extremely close to each other, and it’s clear even to me how very friable that earth there is. What I don’t think enough people appreciate is that the rocks are always moving.

I was given morphine once in a medical setting. I didn’t feel high, just calmly blissful. If someone told me, “We have to amputate your foot now,” I would’ve accepted it with utter serenity, and I am not serene by nature. That experience gave me a lot more sympathy for addicts. A *lot.*

Damn. Hunter Biden has nailed some important issues here: the difference between shame and guilt, the power of drugs, and above all, the crucial power of honesty. I really like this guy.

🎵The froggies made a healthy batch That into tadpoles soon did hatch With gills and tails like fish and snails The tadpoles swam away. Soon their wee tails were gone They learned to croak from dusk till dawn Eat bugs until they’re gone And live the life of frogs. 🎶

(To the tune of “Wellerman”) 🎵There once was a frog who sailed the stream And halfway down, had a wet dream. A lady frog of forest green Had called him with a croak. “Come fertilize my eggs And wrap me round with your long legs, We’ll make a clutch of baby tads And into frogs they’ll grow.” …

My parents’ tastes were…eclectic. We listened to country: Marty, Kenny, Willie, Merle, Kris, Johnny, Tanya, Patsy, Dolly, Loretta …but also opera. Bohème. Butterfly. Rigoletto. Carmen. Magic Flute. Traviata. …and pop / rock. Neil. Linda. Eagles. Olivia. Beatles. …and show tunes. And mariachi.

I wouldn’t object IF teachers cd also discuss texts from other faiths and provide historical context…but most of all to discuss the ethical implications of the text. For example, ask the question of whether Eve did *wrong* by eating the fruit. Why or why not? (And don’t have a “right answer.”)
