My goals here and everywhere: listen, learn, help. Might not post a lot, but I enjoy being part of community. Mother to neurodivergent kids. BLM. Covid is real. Policy decisions are value statements.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and weβre doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
I don't care if Congress authorizes War on Iran. NO WAR ON IRAN. I want people to fucking reclaim their morality.
"At least I wonβt fuck up my kid the same way my parents fucked me up,β I say as I fuck it up in some whole new, unforseen different way.
Coming up with new ways to fuck up our kids is like the parent Olympic sport. I don't know of anyone who gets it right 100% of the time.
For the kids who donβt know: The Lancet is a - if not the - premier medical profession publication.
A whiteboard leaned against a shelf with many trinkets. On the whiteboard, it says βWhen you look at a blank page, think of who you loveβ
In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said βwhen you look at a blank page, think of who you loveβ and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work
The disgraced knight turned inquiry agent searches for a missing relic in this Macavity Award-finalist mystery set in fourteenth century London. Former knight Crispin Guest is now known in the streets of medieval London as the Trackerβan investigator who can find anything and anyone. What begins as a straightforward case of murder turns complicated when Crispin realizes that the victim was an important courier in possession of a holy artifactβan object so valuable that its absence could start a war between France and England. Surrounded by possible suspects, Guest will have to use his wiles to navigate both the exclusive halls of King Richard's court, and the hardscrabble streets of fourteenth century London. In a world full of old friends, mysterious strangers, and dangerous enemiesβincluding the treasonous mastermind who caused Crispin's fall from graceβCrispin will have to uncover a deadly conspiracy to protect his country, save himself, and perhaps even restore his good name.
The Tracker encounters his old friend Geoffrey Chaucer while on a case for the Archbishop of Canterbury in this "murderous spin on The Canterbury Tales" (Kirkus Reviews). Since losing his knighthood, Crispin Guest has crafted a new reputation for himself. From the shadowy corners of London to the halls of the royal court he is known as the Tracker, an investigator for hire who can find anyone or anything. But when the Archbishop of Canterbury hires him to expose the culprit threatening the sacred relics of a holy martyr, Crispin finds himself a stranger in an unfamiliar land. Within a city of pilgrims and priests, he unexpectedly encounters his former friend Geoffrey Chaucer, poet, rabble-rouser, and liege to Crispin's former master. Chaucer and his group of fellow pilgrims all have tales to tell . . . and secrets to hide. And when murder befalls the cathedral, Crispin is enlisted in a second case. Among hallowed tombs of soldiers and saints, in a world of ancient secrets and undying vendettas, Crispin must identify the murderous heretic among holy men if he has any hope of returning home. Reimagining the world of The Canterbury Tales in an engaging, suspenseful mystery, Troubled Bones was nominated for the Macavity, the Agatha, Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice, and the Bruce Alexander Historical Mystery awards.

She never lived to see this moment, but itβs worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.
She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrewβs.
Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

If the evidence warrants it, officials should be fired.
If the evidence supports it, indictments should follow.
The DOJ should unredact and release all 6 million of the Epstein documents and investigate everyone implicated.
Transparency is the only way this ends.
βIf all the names in the Epstein files are released then our entire system will collapse.β
Works for me.

so the governmentβs been sitting on these files without arresting anyone because all their biggest donors are in it huh
I acknowledge the part of black history where we stopped going there
We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.
They canβt be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
I think the only room Dems are reading is the one their donors are in
As a fuck you to the orange felon for withdrawing the United Stares from the World Health Organization, California has joined instead thanks to Governor Gavin Newsome.
Good, love that.

even when AI is surveying reputable sources, we shouldn't forget that summarizing and synthesizing are interpretive activities that involve selecting what is most significant or salient to ongoing discussions. even if AI were unbiased, this is creative work that we should be doing.
