Social media is weird and sometimes challenging. There are also times where you can hear from all sorts of people who are important to you reminding you that you're loved.

Random thoughts from another Wisconsin weekend with family: art is wonderful and seeing art in many places and many ways only makes life richer; family across generations spending time together is never bad; I tried to count the red barns on a drive and there were too many to count.

If you are in or near Milwaukee, please go see Nina Simone: Four Women. It is powerful, amazing theatre with flawless performances.

Simone's song "Four Women" transformed her from gifted pianist to trailblazing activist, charting a new course as an agent of change and healing. This play with music shines a light on how she found her true calling and gave voice to a movement through impactful and inspirational song..

"y'all continuosly tell Black people what we gotta do while you continuosly play in our faces & tell US what you're not going to do."
Y'all really don't know how tired Black folks are of calling BS, being ignored, then asked 2 live with or clean up the BS! 🤬

Good morning Wisconsin. In an amazing display of March, it is blowing snow sideways in the windstorm, and it’s sunny.

YES to Penzeys!!! They're putting together a Mother's Day catalog featuring recipes from the moms of trans and nonbinary kids. No names, just treasured recipes and proud brags about how wonderful they are.

Oongy Noodle @jrf59Spices are the gems of cooking - labor intensive to harvest & prepare for sale, therefore expensive.05:40 AM - Mar 07, 2024
If you want excellent, untainted herbs & spices, shop at penzeys.com
You can buy in bulk which brings costs down. They are a socially conscious company very much worth supporting.

By refusing to sell #Mifepristone by mail even in states where it's legal, #Walgreens , the 2nd-largest pharmacy chain in US, is offering an object lesson for companies in bending down and licking the boots of America's aspiring fascists.

Look, I'm not one that begs for followers, but I'm only six away from 666, and that would be the most metal thing that could happen for me this week!

Happy to report that all systems are back to normal here in southeastern Wisconsin. The 60 degree days earlier this week have been discontinued and it is now blowing snow.

Here’s the deal: We stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential.

First I learned "Fight or Flight"
Then I learned "Fight or Flight or Freeze"
Then I learned "Fight or Flight or Freeze or Fold"
Don't want to fight
nor flight
nor freeze
nor fold
I'm trying to get to "Breathe. Just be. Breathe."
How are you doing on this journey?

Every little bit of pain
collected over the years
Stays with you in a way
Always
They never really go away
Under the surface they just lay
All these little bits of hurts
gotten along the way
Hang around undercover
Forever

Now I’ve heard there was a state of grace
That the King sought, and it pleased the crowd
But you don’t really care for justice do you?
It goes like this a fifth of a third
The fifth withdrawn, the thirteen freed
The baffled laws composing America

There's a new ad on TV featuring Lala Kent from VPR. Every time I saw it, I heard her refer to the man in the ad as, "H and R Block Guy" because - you know - it's tax season. Finally paid attention from beginning to end. It's a movie promo and it's "Agent Argylle" for the movie "Argylle"

DEI is the new CRT.
Just like CRT, an ignorant white man's opinion will supersede the voices of actual experts who crafted the policies, and the legacy media will follow like obedient sheep.
However, long before DEI or AA, Black people's abilities to do
