Time for Campbell’s Well, Yes soup. Roasted red pepper and tomato sipping soup.

I always forget how much I like it.

Oh, dear.

I feel so very bad.

No, no I don’t. I had a Scottish friend that followed this mess closely and she’s cheering from her grave. I just know it.

Donald Trump was one of Brexit’s biggest cheerleaders. Now his Scottish golf courses are blaming it after over $5m in losses

Donald Trump's Turnberry golf resort hasn't made a profit in nearly a decade.

My DAY 3 #BlackHistoryMonth

Freedom Riders were courageous 'white' & 'Black' #CivilRights activists who took part in Freedom Rides, bus trips thu the American South in 1961 to protest segregated bus terminals. They tried to use "whites-only" facilities at bus stations in Southern states & were confronted by arresting officers & horrific violence from white protestors but drew intl. attention to the movement & achieved change

Who Were the Freedom Riders?

Representative John Lewis was among the 13 original Freedom Riders, who encountered violence and resistance as they rode buses across the South, challenging the nation’s segregation laws.

Unbearably cold outside today for much of the US so instead of going to the SNF I’m staying home.

I’m drinking hot coffee instead of my usual iced, it’s so cold!

Nicola Claire released a new book in her Kindred series. I should read that.

Trina Lee’s Alexa O’Brian’s Catastrophe of Angels is waiting for me.

Steve McHugh’s Hellequin Chronicles Prison of Hope is calling me, as are SM Reine’s Tarot Witches. (Re-read on TW)

Read fast, die old, just like my Grandma.

#blackhistorymonth2023 begins today!
To honor this important occasion, I am proud to share the website of the tour of the #undegroundrailroad in #ithaca that I put together with my students of HIST 1200 “The Antiracist Workshop”: https://ithacaundergroundrailroad.wordpress.com

Each student focused on a site, a person, and a document that illustrate this fascinating local history, and, in so doing, they contributed to highlighting Ithaca’s role in the fight against slavery.

F*ck Racism: 50 Black Podcast Alternatives To Joe Rogan (Updated & Revised)

Because freedom of speech definitely includes choosing not to listen to racist rhetoric and misinformation.

An Injustice!

This is pretty amazing to be honest.

Yesterday I put up a poll asking 1000 people to sign this petition demanding undocumented immigrants have the right to get a Driver's License.

296 people took the poll and 400 people also signed the petition. Everyone did what they said they would! How great is that! 😀

We're ~600 people shy of my goal. Will you be 1 of 600 and speak up for undocumented immigrants? Much love ❤️✊🏽

Sign here: https://bit.ly/3jmKcKA

50.4%
Signing & Retooting!

Poll ended at .
Sign the petition!

All 50 states should allow driver’s licenses for undocumented persons

Thank you everyone that gave a thought to my husband today.
He’s retaining fluid to a great degree and they don’t seem to be in a huge hurry to find out why. Also sleeping 21 hours of the day with increasing weakness.

Kidney failure? Congestive heart failure? They ordered treatment (lasix, a diuretic) and tests this am and those orders were being entered into the computer as I left at 7:30 pm.
Not a soul entered his room to check on him today so I will be there at 7 am.
Thank you, so much. ❤️

If anyone is of a mind, light a candle for my darling, will you?

He’s not in very good shape.

It’s been five days and the SNF doesn’t seem to be in a big hurry to do anything because he’s a DNR, I suspect.
