finally agreeing on who'd get possession of the car, our divorce came to be known in legal circles as 'The Honda Accord'

My latest soft pastel artwork is titled 'Bluebird for Happiness and Lucky Clover' becuase it combines a beautiful Eastern bluebird with a four-leaf clover. One symbolizes happiness while the other is a symbol of luck.
See this artwork now in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/bluebird-for-happiness-and-lucky-clover-mm-anderson.html and soon on the other sites listed in my profile.

Extremists need to stop playing political games with the lives of working people and families.

Democrats stand with the people. Dismantling Medicare and Social Security will never be up for debate.

It’s a shit show.
Everything and anything involving Trump is a shit show.

Florida’s new student textbook guidelines that prohibit books “that may lead to student indoctrination” actually sound a lot like indoctrination.

During the #Holocaust, a team of Jewish researchers in the Warsaw Ghetto documented the grim effects of starvation on the human body even as they themselves starved.

"They hoped their research would benefit future generations through better ways to treat malnutrition, and they wanted the world to know of Nazi atrocities to prevent something similar from ever happening again."

Hear more from the researcher who found the book in the library, in our #podcast: https://podfollow.com/the-conversation-weekly/episode/107c5a4291d53c4969264fb901f0215ff947c7b8/view #history

Please
stop what you are doing
and in a calm clear voice say:
“computer, end program,”
for there is a chance
that you are actually
a crew member on a starship
in the 24th century
stuck in a holodeck simulation
of this historic pandemic
the chance is small
but it’s worth a try

Holocaust Memorial Day

‘To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time’

Citizens! *Puts on steel toed boots* I urge you to remain calm at this moment! *loads rubber bullets into launcher* violence is not the answer! *Hangs night stick from belt* We grieve with your community! *Pulls reflective visor down on helmet* Peace is what this moment calls for *climbs into tank* The great MLK Jr said and I quote: I love police, and they are our friends! *diesel engine roars* So obey, comply, and remember we are in this together! *Tear gas launcher slowly points towards crowd*

The waiting game and when you release the shutter: eventually, the lake and I were in sync and this is the result.

Then I walked to work. I had been standing on the breakwall for the better part of an hour.

On this International Holocaust Remembrance Day, one thing we can all do in memory of the millions of victims is ensure our governments treat refugees compassionately. It was that failure by the world in the 1930s that led to many of the deaths. #HolocaustRememberanceDay

Ugh, you guys. This weather! I can’t 🥶😡😣😣

Soooo, it ‘appears’ that “the largest egg producer in the US,” has seen their profit margin soar, showing a massive increase since last year. Avian flu seems to have played an insignificant role. Inflation seems to have played a zero role. Greed seems to be the bottom line. Just another example of what folks with money are willing to do to the little guy to increase their profits. Geez, maybe we should reward these big egg producers with some hefty tax cuts. 🤬 https://mindly.social/@annie/109755900547807890

"Brutally killing people and then telling the public to only respond peacefully is one of the most wildly absurd things that's normalized as police kill more and more yearly. When they say "peace" they mean respect and accept the state's monopoly on violence." - William C Anderson
