This is Joseph Denman. He was made famous as the Commander of the HMS Wanderer, a ship in the Royal Navy’s West Africa Squadron, a detachment focused on the utter destruction of the West African slave trade. Denman apparently had an evangelical zeal for the abolition of slavery, and waged an 1

To all romantics, wounded and disillusioned out there, all the people who have had relationships, sexual and otherwise, that ended…for some reason now long forgotten, yet still remember their former friends and lovers with fondness, I have an answer now I’m old. We love to fall in love, don’t we?

An old Japanese-American truck farmer from Hawaii, when asked by a reporter which side he wanted to win the war; the U.S.A. or Japan, replied: “When your mother and father are fighting, you don’t want anyone to win, you just want them to stop fighting.”

GET THIS MAN A BIGGER MIC

I think we need a new name for Trump's position...

Yes. luxuriate in your existence on this beautiful blue-green Marble we’ve got, as it spins through an unimportant outer suburb of our small, unimportant galaxy. And yes, ”busy” is wrongly celebrate. Take it from an old man…it’s all so brief.

When I was deployed to Mississippi for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, I was shocked that anti-Black racism is still very much alive there. But it wasn’t overt (no racial insults) but subtle (motel clerk giving Black FED hard time over reservation, whether mail/shipment of documents arrived etc)

When Rubio abruptly halted foreign aid last year, cleanup crews in Vietnam were forced to abandon one of the largest chemical spills in the world for weeks. Left exposed: open pits of soil contaminated with dioxin, the deadly byproduct of Agent Orange. From Pulitzer finalist “The End of Aid”:

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

It's Saturday♥️

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

Thank you so much for sharing Dear hopeful 💙🙋🏻💙

This is how we defeat trump and his cultists. Every act of defiance no matter how small counts RESIST

A mommas love ♥️

Ivermectin in an anti-parasitic. It kills parasites. Viruses are not parasites. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

This right here.

For the rest of its existence, I will be referring to our current, nameless, since there is no Chief Justice worthy of mention, Supreme Court as the Roger B. Taney Supreme Court. If you know, you know. That is all.

Donald Trump is not simply stupid. His idiocy is a complex system of ignorance, narcissism, and xenophobia, wrapped in a web of insecurity and covered by a thick layer of self-loathing, afloat in a spiraling, ever-widening miasma of dumb.

Heard a buzzing today about front of our living room. It was a bumble bee! Didn’t want her to become stressed, so quickly captured her in a small jar with a piece of cardstock. Took her out to our front garden alive with flowers where she flew happily off. Did my job on earth today. 🙂

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

An extraordinary documentary, this needs to be shown In schools. After all, if we can show this decency and humanity to prisoners in WW2, then what the hell is wrong with us? The ending vignette made me tear up. You don’t have to, but if you‘re not moved, well then??? youtu.be/l2v0BPouCTc

I'm out on a short stroll around the neighborhood as unofficial town sorcerer. I've brought my inhaler, my Muscovy duck hat, a vintage monster finger puppet, a small bag of oats, and other important items. I'm looking for creatures, spirits, omens, and anything else that might want to show itself.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Sometimes I visit an archaeological site where grassy hills have covered over the public buildings and gentle dips in the ground mark where canals once flowed, and I feel such intense loss. If only I'd been there 1500 years earlier. That's nothing in geological time! I just missed it!

"The forest ended. Glad I was To feel the light, and hear the hum Of bees, and smell the drying grass And the sweet mint." Remembering the poet Edward Thomas, who was killed in action on this day in 1917 in The Battle of Arras.
