Chilli has beans in it.

Dear E. Jean Carroll,

You were brave enough to stand up when almost no one else would. You were persistent enough to keep fighting when most others would’ve quit. You spoke loudly enough to hear when so many refused to listen.

And for all of that, we thank you.

Love,
America

People who use bead curtains instead of doors are unhinged.

Letters from an American

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

Today’s job numbers came in higher than expected, with the U.S. adding 253,000 nonfarm jobs in April. Unemployment fell yet again, to 3.4%, matching a rate not seen since 1969. Black unemployment is at an all-time low of 4.7%. For Hispanics it’s 4.4%, and for Asian Americans, 2.8%. The rate for adult women is 3.1%. Average hourly wages rose 0.5%.

This good economic news didn’t come from nowhere. The Biden administration has focused on building infrastructure, bringing supply chains home, and bolstering new manufacturing. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act have invested in workers.

56 years ago, a young woman secretly jumped onto the road to run the Boston Marathon.
Girls were thought too weak to run that distance. We could spend 15 hours in labor, but were too weak to run 26.2 miles.

Kathrine Switzer paved the way for me to take up marathon running, which I did for a number of years.
She had fortitude.
And she insisted on wearing her lipstick - which I did, too.
Thank you, Kathrine!

A #London scene that I did about four years ago. Yes, I think I've mentioned I need a 12 step for Red Phone Boxes. LOL

I want to set out the ideas I would vote for and hope to spark a reasoned, polite debate.

Principle 1

"All services and products essential to the functioning of our society and the wellbeing of the population should be in public ownership, not for profit and all surpluses reinvested to improve the service to the consumer. That's health, education, finance, energy, water, broadband, communications, transport etc. with no opportunity for private profiteering."

I’ve been standing in front of my refrigerator looking for something to eat since 1993.

Wishing you all a pine cone.

Have you ever come up with an original way of doing something, only to be told it won’t work?

A Russian soldier surrendered into Ukrainian captivity through drone communication. In the meantime, he was under fire from other Russian soldiers for surrendering.

Today is the 109th birthday of #ViolaFletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. It is also the day the City of Tulsa and other defendants once again try to dismiss her case for #reparations. #BlackMastodon

Blind woman born and raised in Nebraska, now living in Baltimore where I work as the Education Programs Coordinator for @nationsblind. I love to sing and am trying to figure out how music fits into my life. Also into #knitting, cooking, and baking, and have managed to keep my pandemic #sourdough starter alive and rising decent bread. I enjoy creating things from scratch, dreaming about future possibilities, and working to make dreams reality. #introductions
