I don’t post a lot but love to follow authors, journalists, academics, doctors, and economists. Just trying to get through life with a minimum of harm to myself and others.

what if i do not want to be optimized. what if i want to make mistakes because that’s how you learn; what if i want to do nothing sometimes, what if i want a world that is weird and challenging and has mysteries left to reveal. what if i like taking the long way

Yes. Even if the Democrats win, the Republicans still will control the narrative because Dems aren’t even trying to replace it.

Many folks I admire in science, medicine, journalism and economics still post on X. List put together over years - afraid to lose them all. And FB is where all local events are posted, including arts, protests and political meetings, so can’t leave that yet much as I would like to. 😞

If you will PLEASE vote against the funding!! I am a constituent and we are counting on the Senate to do something meaningful here!

Cabbage is good as well as cheap. I haven’t bought a turnip in a while but I don’t remember them being that cheap. Aren’t potatoes and carrots cheaper?

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever. #books #reading #booksky #poetry
A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: 

"I am so tired of waiting, 
Aren't you, 
For the world to become good 
And beautiful and kind? 
Let us take a knife 
And cut the world in two -- 
And see what worms are eating 
At the rind."

I am many of the things on your list! Books and birds for sure, and here is my dog. Trying to get back to fiber arts more.
