I have heard this song before and I like it. And I loved seeing Miranda Lambert in the video. So there. I don't get my political opinions from musicians. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-... Most of the people complaining about this article are just proving the author's point.

What Some Folks Really Mean When They Claim to Have Never Heard 'Choosin' Texas'
Claiming to have never heard Ella Langley's record-setting country song 'Choosin' Texas' is similar to saying, 'I listen to anything but country.'

This has been an extraordinary week for me. Today I got a brief but private tour of the @sciencehistory.org library and museum. Including this book by #Quaker #scientist John Dalton, who came up with a modern theory of the atom in 1808. #amazing

Time for the second day of the House of Bishops AI committee meeting! This icon is called "The Creation of Physics." it's a very cool reminder that not one thing came into being without the Word. Time, numbers, and the laws of physics are all creatures of God.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

I don't know how many poems Wendell Berry wrote that he called Sabbaths. This is my favorite: Whatever is foreseen in joy Must be lived out from day to day. Vision held open in the dark By our ten thousand days of work. Harvest will fill the barn; for that The hand must ache, the face must sweat.

I would like to tell her not to wear such flimsy shoes, that rubble contains the whole spectrum of knowable and unknowable dangers… —Marjorie Lotfi, “Picture of Girl and Small Boy (Burij, Gaza, 2014)” from THE WRONG PERSON TO ASK, @bloodaxebooks.bsky.social 2023
Picture of Girl and Small Boy (Burij, Gaza, 2014)
Marjorie Lotfi

I would like to tell her not to wear such flimsy shoes,
that rubble contains the whole spectrum of knowable
and unknowable dangers: sheets of metal ripped
to knife edge, live wires, bloated arms reaching

for light. Her hair, scraped back into a ponytail,
is open to sky; remnants of buildings filter down
one concrete chunk at a time, and the midday bells
of rockets ring out above her. She carries a boy

on her still narrow hips, his legs entwined around
her yellow dungarees. Like a rodeo rider, his left arm
grips her shoulder to steady himself, or her,
while his torso reels back and away; his body

is asking to slow down, to turn back. Instead,
her eyes comb the ground for a next step, fingers
of her free hand curled into a claw, as if
to frighten off what she somehow sees ahead.A young Palestinian girl wearing a yellow t-shirt, yellow dungarees, and plastic sandals carries an even younger child – a small boy, wearing a pale blue vest and shorts – on her hip across a tangle of rubble from a building that police said was destroyed by an Israeli air strike, in the Burij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, August 1, 2014. The girl takes a long step forward across the concrete debris that litters the ground, looking down at her feet, one arm stretched out in front of her. The small boy leans backwards, cradled by her other arm.

I think it's really underappreciated that a large chunk of people across the world are everyday being served images of the world's worst atrocities, essentially live as they happen, in ways previously only experienced by people on the frontline, who have historically had years of trauma as a result.
