Late Friday news story from me… Tennessee State University has aspirations to become the first HBCU to have an NCAA Div. I men’s hockey program this fall. But unless they get funding in the next 30 days or so, they won’t hit the ice. My latest for @theathletic.com www.nytimes.com/athletic/737...

From R.S. Thomas.

Special interview with W.B. Yeats via automatic writing channelled through spirit guides.

With the smell of smoke and fires in the Southland today, those who went through the Eaton Fire, and Palisades Fire could understandably be on edge right now.

With heavy hearts we share the passing at age 14 of the Ambassador of the Neighborhood Molly Malone. She rescued us at San Gabriel Valley Humane, and spent a life living time in the garden, sitting on the front porch, catching up on “News” in the neighborhood, and meeting new people.

Soon. Y’all watching NASA TV, right?

In tears here in Southern California. So many people in so many clubs across Italy worked so hard for decades to get to this moment.

The wind has picked up for the Southland this weekend, and so many residents by 2025 windstorm, Eaton Fire, and Palisades Fire could understandably be on edge right now.

Go somewhere. Anywhere. Walmart parking lot. Public park. Beach. Park and ride. Train station. Bring work gloves. Fill a bag with stuff that doesn’t belong there. Recycle the cans and give that money directly to the next person asking for help. Repeat. ❤️‍🔥

Something that helped me during T***p 1 was doing small acts of goodness in the face of so much I could not change. I even got into the paper for it, which seemed to get more people doing it. Something small led to something…medium.

weeks I need before I'm ready for the new year: - a week to clean - a week to rest - a week to read - a week to finish up all my work for 2025 - a week to cook - probably another week to rest after all that

A thread- A few years ago, a group of scientists in the UK set out to do something extraordinary. Not the amazing things they did in labs, but to establish a literary journal, called Tamarind. 
Since its founding, it has published fiction and non-fiction to examine science as a human endeavor.

@sparkbadger.bsky.social Well done for the background picture on your profile.
