Cultural Burning this weekend. Using indigenous knowledge, we are reducing wildfire fuel while restoring the water table, soil nutrients and plants. ❤️‍🔥

Im so glad Kendrick won the Super Bowl!

I hope Taylor Swift wins the Super Bowl again.

It’s now punishable by death for being in the US illegally. I hate it here.

How does terrorizing farm workers, school kids and hard working immigrants make America great, especially when you release and pardon violent insurrectionists? White Nationalism is Nazism.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

ICE IS IN SEATTLE My service industry friend showed me this. Wanted to share it on here for service industry folx. This is from Washington but I hope other states can do similar. #lamigra #ice #seattle

"A man is what he reads" Joseph Brodsky I post a quote daily at work, came across this one. Thought it would be appropriate for #booksky

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

I absolutely LOVE reading in the forest or at the beach. I used to hang out at Yosemite and read all day. #booksky

So Hell(florida) has frozen over?

These were thoughtful questions. What would you pick? #booksky

“Fascism, it’s always about using nationalism, and the nation, as a bludgeon to generate support for death policies, on behalf of death governments. For violence and repression and exploitation, internationalism is the antidote, always.” —Robin D. G. Kelley

I see that Melania chose to wear her Hamburglar hat to honor the criminals in the nation--and next to her.

“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” Martin Luther King Jr.

Yesterday I was looking at my collection of books from my PhD program, mostly on Race. Since I was pushed out of my program they’ve been daunting, but now they are precious. I may not have the degree but I have the skills and tools.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Things I am missing from Facebook: The vet group where you can ask pet health questions. My neighborhood free cycle group. (I have things to post.)

Enjoy the last day before tomorrow. Then four years…
