That’s about all I have in me. SheleetaDad isn’t doing well (along with a lot of other dads of the PT, so let’s all keep each other in each other’s thoughts). And I just want to encourage people to take some time for themselves. Did you know that you can take 2 minutes and just sit in a chair with your eyes closed and just breathe?

I write these things as a reminder … Continue reading Tuesday’s Politics thread is breathing

First up, a link to this article from Mark Jacob regarding independent journalists. “25 must-follow people in pro-democracy media” He says “We’re in scary times, but lots of folks in media are doing their damnedest to defend democracy. My Stop the Presses newsletter praises 25 of them and also cites other fierce fighters. See if you agree.” – https://tinyurl.com/4rdcxkvv “Zuckerberg faces questions over why superyacht reportedly declined to help stranded boat” – https://tinyurl.com/yw3zkw7v I know these clams are Alaskan, and we’ve already talked about … Continue reading Tuesday’s Politics Thread isn’t going to be bonkers
