Within a few minutes of my cat caterwauling at home, the ER came through with a CT/Cat scan. Coincidence? Or a feline cry to the god of all cat-things answered in the affirmative?
Do you hear a heartbeat growing steadily louder?

Her Royal High-&-Mightiness, Imperious Duchess of Next Door is selling her rental & insists we answer to her for every pruning decision, maintenance & construction project. I kind of get it, but also, we are in the middle of much-needed major projects and there are no nerves left to stand on.

Just can’t today. So wandered in a junk shop for a few moments.
Will now finish putting up hoop houses in the garden to be part of the cycle of life.
Okay, folks- I know we all have plenty to do, but if you're at all concerned about the White House & historic preservation, please consider submitting public comment on Trump's ballroom project; info in this thread.

Thank you for the lovely Valentine’s Day. 😚

The dog got a bath last Saturday. Three days later she comes in from the yard with a dirt streak on her face like she’s Rambo.
Every. Single. Time.
“Queen of Chess” (Netflix) tells Judit Polgár’s story. Top woman in the world for 26 years (when she retired.) The only woman to break into the world’s top 10 in chess. Talent, brains, and apparently down to earth.
My high school history teacher just posted on socials that he listened to the first Super Bowl in Vietnam, and just watched the 60th.
And he’s still as crusty and lefty as he was then. Love that man.
And the name of the place is “Conejo”

Thanks for the thought prompt. I spend a good deal of time trying to piece together how this history seeped into the nooks and crannies of my own life, and I’m taken aback regularly with how much of the everyday, ordinary goings on of growing up then and there still needs rooting out.
Would it normalize a culture of active justice? Would it require confession of wrongs done and still being done, because otherwise why would anyone need to remedy things? Would kids question what they witness and form alliances outside the status quo? Would it break privilege?
Would teaching that white leaders worked to change the systems and culture of oppression teach generations that the majority has a responsibility to act for a better world? Would it teach kids that society admires these leaders and holds them up as roll models, embracing the culture they lived?
The easy answer is to say “racism,” which is obvious, but this makes it easy to skip over digging into the details to find all the devils. Were white people pretending this wasn’t their problem? Subverting coordination of action amongst those with privilege? Was there shame or fear?
Did general news sources cover this? To what extent, I don’t know. There was a real hyper-local aspect to the work. My father could have given you lists of who did what in towns we lived in, but even he didn’t necessarily know about folks farther afield. I wish he were here to ask.
