If you can be anything, be a teacher. Whatever your job, your role, your place in this life... Choose to help others flourish.

None of this is okay. This is the front page of hud.gov right now.

Just listened to the @nprfreshair.bsky.social interview with @cristela.bsky.social and it was so so good. "...the power of your voice. It's so important to use your power for change." npr.org/programs/fre...

Getting ready for colder weather. Today was tilling ground, spreading seeds to overwinter, and hanging dried sunflower for the wild birds.

90th minute "Justus, denied". The new keeper is on fire, OMG

I'm at the age where I'm starting to embarrass my family in stores.

At the Utah Film Center Grand opening this morning

October drawing prompt: Mr. Trumpkins is flanked by two skeleton figures who are caricatures of JD Vance & Stephen Miller. A reporter asks "what about the skeletons?" who respond "We're partisan of it!" Bonus: Release the Epstein files - @bagleycartoons.bsky.social, @anntelnaes.bsky.social

My immediate thought was "Thank you" the way I'd hear old people say it. Like "tankie kindly"

I want to star in a new reality show called "Real House Husbands of Salt Lake City", where episodes are like me talking to my neighbor Ron, and Steve shows up to borrow something. And then I build a birdhouse.

My daughter just sent this picture of a Spirit Week poster that she was helping a student with, and it's so damn cute. Their school mascot is the Wapiti, which is why the Elk is in the picture. I love the rainbow aurora around the world. - with @natsqueaks.bsky.social

Sorry, what time zone does God operate in? Concerned about when to rapture, not sure if it's 10am Eastern or 10am Mountain time. It would be embarrassing to start before everyone else

For all of y'all taking the Rapture option tomorrow, don't let the door hit you in the ass. The rest of us will still be here, working in reality.

Thanks, Google.

We need MORE outburst and protest. The idea of a civilized discussion is ludicrous when a majority party controls the conversation while still "in protest". The room was just admonished for reacting to Brady Brammer, who is outright leaning into the lies of his party while presenting.

It's September 22. On the last day that over 5,000 Oracle employees lose their jobs, Oracle announces the promotion of 3 executives who drove the culling of its labor force. It's a special kind of heartless cruelty that Oracle leans into, that reaps the profits from the souls of its workers.

Will Forte is white Pedro Pascal. Prove me wrong.

Worth reposting. Even if it's just so that I can find this again.

Our "moment" of history is defined outside the time it is lived. Individually we experience and react, but the precipice of change comes when enough of us react together. We are reaching that moment, what history makes of it will be for how long it divides us and how we reunite.

I have come to the realization that if you dress for the career you want, I'm destined to be a DJ. - With @krclradio.bsky.social KRCL.org

Maybe the better response to this video is rather than go outside and "touch grass" y'all get educated on Utah politics, get active, and vote in upcoming elections. Maybe a better response is to hold politicians accountable for allowing open carry on university campuses. Maybe. youtu.be/6wRiAv74DCs

The concept of the Dignity Index (dignity.us) is that all humans are born with an innate right to be treated with dignity, but there is a problem I'll call "In Defense of Dignity". When parties are intentional bad actors, when it's an agenda and not one person, callous disregard prevails. What then?

Special Olympics Utah is on KRCL RadioActive! Call in now to make a donation during the show and help us reach our challenge grant! 801-359-9191 or KRCL.org

Listen in tomorrow! Natalie @natsqueaks.bsky.social and Brady will be on @krclradio.bsky.social tomorrow 6-7PM to talk about Special Olympics in the community. If they hit their $2k goal, KRCL will match it $2k of on-air messaging for Special Olympics Utah — powering athlete stories all year long.

I have to say after being unemployed for 6 months, that being told that I'm being passed up because I'm over qualified is a gut punch.

It's Monday beep beep boop Call in during @krclradio.bsky.social Breakfast Jam and make a donation with me, Jared, or Trina! Get cool stuff like this Smile Jamaica tee! 801-359-9191 or online at KRCL.org

Our house sparrow decided to give us a visit today.

Good Sunday morning all, it's day 2 of @krclradio.bsky.social radiothon and I'm still waking up. You can donate at krcl.org to support local community radio.

At the RSL Special Olympics Unified vs SKC Unified post game match. #SoccerForAll

Now this is how to mac n' cheese.

The kids just dropped this off for us, and that was so nice!

Hanging out at @krclradio.bsky.social for the start of radiothon but the phones are down! Donate online at krcl.allyrafundraising.com/campaigns/14...

I'm really struggling with this. Empathy can't go alone. There has to be understanding, and respect, and safety. Empathy can happen only when a social fabric supports it.

Find something to be at peace today. Nat @natsqueaks.bsky.social and I are at the Season Ticket Holders Celebration for @realsaltlake.com and @utahroyalsfc.com

"The Case for Kindness" premiers on Amazon Prime starting next week (Sept 14) and I'll encourage you to watch this. I'm reaching out to the filmmaker to see if we can do a local screening in SLC. We are desperate for, and deserving of, some kindness. caseforkindness.com

Posting today because y'all need this.

The only thing I look forward to, apparently. I'm starting to think we should create a gofundme to buy lottery tickets, smaller wins get fed back into more tickets, and whoever contributed prior to a jackpot over $1M gets a proportional split of the proceeds.

Hey y'all - go get one of these from the @realsaltlake.com Team Store in Sandy! This is a limited run of 75 scarves, and they won't last! Show that you support Unified Sports and #SoccerForAll!

My 2025 review of "Too Much and Never Enough" by @maryltrump.bsky.social. The 2020 book is prescient: do we realize the threat he presents to us, and do we react? Or do we remain silent as he manifests chaos & we truly are just what he calls us - "the rubes". utah44.com/on-too-much-...

They should all sign. What better way to communicate to Trump that a paradigm shift is underway?

I just heard "Luck has to find you working hard" and that really resonates.

It took @gofundme.com 14 days to take down my AI Datacenter fundraiser, because, duh, it was ridiculous. The real question is how long will it take YOU to realize that the government is committing BILLIONS of YOUR dollars and being asked for TRILLIONs more for the same preposterous thing?

I know it's just an ad, but oh, what an ad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LSB...

On Labor Day, @theonion.com gets on board to tell all you lazy laborers to lay down your lettuce for lucrative lols as we linger online and latch on yur loot (aka labeled data and unlabeled data) www.gofundme.com/f/fuel-the-f...

Making dessert and checking the expiry on frosting... Me: it expired in July Ang: well, that's just a little bit expired? Me: I don't think sugar and fat really ever expire? Ang: That must be why I'm still so hot! And that, folks, is called having your cake and eating it too.

It's getting to the point that Bird Buddy is the only social network I want to log into.

I want to start a garden. Oom sha la la. music.youtube.com/watch?v=dkmI...

Book recommendation: “Dignity: Its Essential Role in Resolving Conflict” by Donna Hicks, PhD. This is a topic that I struggle with, particularly in terms of responding to public figures who do frustrating things. I had so many thoughts while reading this book. utah44.com/on-dignity-i...

This is why we have GoFundMe www.gofundme.com/f/fuel-the-f...

Noteworthy that the Shrivers remaining still need to step up. Anthony Shriver (CEO of Best Buddies Inat'l) even supported RFK Jr's campaign, think about that. www.change.org/p/demand-bes...
