Journalism is a dangerous profession. They put their lives on the line to tell the world what is happening.

This hits close to home in some ways! 😬

This recounting of the Atomic bombs dropped on Japan has brought me to tears. War is truly terrible.

Listen to me on NPR's Short Wave podcast talking about deep-sea giants www.npr.org/2025/08/04/1...

Those who defend uninhibited capitalism need to look up the Japanese word “Karoshi”.

@drcraigmc.bsky.social was wonderful in today's #ShortWave podcast! The tendency of animals to shrink or grow based on their environment, and all we still don't know about why, was fascinating!

Sunday's episode of #TheDailyStoic was compelling. The story of how Beatrice Webb got into social work and how they could relate to the current famine in Gaza is striking. I have been continually grateful to @pbsnews.org for telling Gaza's story to those of us living in our own bubble far away.

If they wish to win back the people, they need to not only stope defining themselves as “against” everything and have a positive agenda. Make a real difference in the lives of the working class, protect against corporations, stop lobbyists, and fight for human dignity.

This hits especially hard. 😢

“Still Life with a Skull” by Phillippe de Champaigne

This is not how we should be treated such a valued neighbor as Canada. 🇨🇦

This is really sad to see!

“I want to live in a community, to live in a house, to be able to walk downtown to a coffee shop and get to know people.” Wall #SouthDakota lays the groundwork through collaboration.

A physician assistant claimed she was fired by a Michigan hospital for seeking a religious exemption regarding gender-affirming care. Now the federal government is also investigating.

I wish we could get something like this in the US.

Well done!

I hope EMS is not going to see further hardship with the new bill being signed into law today. This is as essential a service as police & fire.

This is an absolutely fascinating read! The situation in Tibet seems worse than ever. These monks’ resilience is unyielding 🙌

Hundreds of samples tested in recent years to determine if “forever chemicals” are tainting South Dakota water had to be shipped overnight to out-of-state labs for analysis. That’s about to change, as state government and a university develop their own labs. #PFAS

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social does wonderfully in his interview with @npr.org. And this comes from someone who, in all likelihood, would not have voted for him if I were living in New York. I can see why his campaign is doing so well.

“So, to the next generation: As you begin writing the story of your adult life, don’t overlook love. Don’t sideline marriage as an optional extra. Prioritize the things that will matter most in the end — and lead to joy not just for a moment, but for a lifetime.”

Glad to see it go!

Something I believe we all forget is that the actions of those we think of as enemies are often driven by ignorance, fear, or suffering of which we are unaware. This realization could reframe many ‘enemies’ into allies. This is compassion.

A blessed Good Shepherd Sunday to all! May each of us rest in the arms of the Chief Shepherd Who knows each of us by name 🙏

Requiem in pace 😭

Christ is Risen! Alleluia!! ✝️

This is a wonderful devotion for Holy Sabbath!

Some days go as planned, but then I wake up 😂

A wonderful ruling!

Something I think is often lost when discussing politics is that real people are affected by the decisions. Does real change need to happen? Yes! But real human families are affected by any decision, and we need to account for those people and love them as Christ has loved us.

Libraries are one of the public services that should be approved across party lines. It is saddening to see this kind of cut. This is certainly an area I’m proud to see my tax dollars going. And hope they can continue to do so.

"Grief is hardly ever silent"

😿

This is terrible news!

The world, though fallen, is not all sorrow and misery. In nature itself are messages of hope and comfort. There are flowers upon the thistles, and the thorns are covered with roses. - Steps to Christ p. 9
