One day we’ll all be able to dilly dally again

"I will always search for the ray of sunshine, the lone wildflower, the singing birds, the brightest star, and every other little piece of hope."

Another Rapture come and gone. Oh well. Maybe now we can focus on making Planet Earth a place where all people are fed, clothed, housed, happy, healthy, safe, prosperous, and educated.

"If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us." ~ Carl Sagan

#ProudBlue #Pinks #RU Good morning, friends. We know there are terrible people out there, but there are also people who demonstrate compassion & a commitment to helping others. They are kind & warm. And they love and love and love and love. Many of them are right here & reading this now.

Human beings have a demonstrated talent for self-deception when their emotions are stirred. ― Carl Sagan

"September...a thirty-days long goodbye to summer."

"It's as if some unholy force knocked us out of the timeline that was supposed to happen."

I'm on a mission to never forget / 3,000 people that I've never met

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

While we will never again be able to pretend that it is September 10, 2001, we should all strive to act like we did on September 12, 2001. Praying for peace. Helping a neighbor. Helping a stranger. That will help us today and in the tomorrows to come.

We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say, "It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem." Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes. ~ Fred Rogers

Dressing up as the last 9 months for Halloween this year

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

Happy First Day of September! 🐇🐇

If we can get through this month, we only have one more month to go before we need to get through another month.

Finally, some good news!

just been camping for the first time in my life and i have some valuable camping advice: take everything with you. Everything in your house. Take your whole house with you and live in it. Live inside your house, at home. Stay at home, living in your house with everything in your house.

What you need is sustained outrage...there's far too much unthinking respect given to authority. ~ Molly Ivins

When men are most sure and arrogant they are commonly most mistaken, giving views to passion without that proper deliberation which alone can secure them from the grossest absurdities. ~ David Hume

Read any good books lately, maga?

I read somewhere, if marriage benefited women, it would have been taken away from us by now.

This is so obvious that it shouldn’t even need to be said, but here we are…

I can’t believe this shit is happening in America…

I think we need therapy dogs everywhere.

"Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit- It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.” - Edgar A. Guest

To all the flowers peeking through cracks in concrete...

Remember when getting caught doing something immoral or illegal would end a politician’s career? That was awesome.
