The tiniest, dearest associations!

I never have, but understand the urge! @maryapetry.bsky.social have you ever been successful at it?

This scene was ours last week. It’s now in the beautiful 60s, diving to 30 by Monday, and then snapping back after a few days to the 70s for the foreseeable! ☀️❄️🌷

Sorry kiddo. We will linger with you. Moss is delectable and beguiling.

But, I must say I’m looking forward to lunch and a grand chat. 💚

I love it also—the cool, inviting greenness of it. It must have inspired carpet!

It’s wild, isn’t it?

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a spanking newborn as subject matter. It’s perfectly perfect. Thanks for this wonderful post.

Hmmm. What shall we do today? Watching moss sounds fun and just the ticket! How about it @11tulips.bsky.social? What do you think @maryapetry.bsky.social? @patsybaloney.bsky.social, you in? @beachpebblegirl.bsky.social, you could use a good junket with us!

I love this post. It’s inspiring; especially in the looking up.

The miracle of spring has spread to my insides as ever, and I am well and blessed. Soooo good to hear from you dearest gal. I think of you often. 💚🌷

Thank you for telling me about your dear cats. I had so wished that Sophie had snapped back & your life was humming, and disappointed about the Rhodes cancellation. I love how you express “miraculous difficulty” as it fits like a glove. My kit-kat is the same sweet gal as ever—mouse gifts and all! +

I got to hear Colom speak a few months ago. He's impressive.

I thought so too, Jaki.

Their love for cars is legendary. 3,400 yrs ago, Crown Prince Thutmose, son of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, buried his cat Ta-Miu (“little mewer”) in a tiny limestone sarcophagus. The inscription reads:

“I myself am placed among the Imperishable Ones that are in the Sky, for I am Ta-Miu, the Triumphant.”

am I at risk of being harmed if I embrace their message; and can I risk harm on others if I share the message further?

Resilience can also be strengthened through narrative inoculation, which prepares audiences for potential manipulation by exposing the opportunists’ game before it gains traction”

More broadly, it can emerge from education that helps people independently assess six fundamental questions: who is the person trying to communicate with me; how and why did they find me; what do they gain from communicating with me; can I verify the accuracy of their message; +

and confusing narratives, often designed to rouse strong emotional responses, like fear, anxiety and anger…

…Resilience can also arise from education, like in Finland, where grade school children are taught to spot and assess when they are being targeted by harmful manipulative information.

“To solve big problems and navigate a chaotic world, we first need a clear, shared understanding of the facts. Today, though, technologies such as social media, online chat and artificial intelligence (AI) are allowing opportunistic actors to target people with intentionally manipulative +

Glad you’re not tackling the mess by yourselves. I’m so glad spring is beckoning for you after the winter avalanche of cares. How IS dear Sophie? Also sending virtual hugs to Timmi and Fiene.

😂 Which we completely need and deserve!

Living your best life, then! 😊

Let’s hope @tedroche.contoocook.org!

Hope you and yours are flourishing.
