Awww this takes me back! What has been the most important in your life?

mcskinney,

@RickiTarr

Music. I won an early iPod, burned most of my records and cds, and the rest is history. I play music all the time now. Having almost every song at my fingertips has been miraculous.
Books, I still love the real thing (from the library).
Graphic design, it is cool, but I don’t use often .
TV and Movies, I love the choice and freedom, but not that important to me.

A very clever friend suggested this question and I thought it was great:

Do you feel like your life experiences have crystalized and focused what you believed when you were younger? Basically, same beliefs, just better understood. Or have you radically changed as a person over time? My own addendum is if you feel like explaining why, I'm always curious to know!

I was an idealistic teen, hating both Republicans and Democrats. My first presidential election, I voted for Anderson, the independent running in 1980.
Needless to say after Reagan, I became more pragmatic, and now vote for the lesser evil.

As men age they become Santas, Grandpas, Hobos, Cowboys, or John Waters. Which one(s) are you?

Gun control is a contentious issue in the United States. Its origins are complex, tied to a history of racial tension, political power dynamics, & competing interpretations of the Second Amendment. One significant chapter in this history is the emergence of the Black Panther Party and their role in the gun control debate.

Thread on sham that the GOP Fascist Party is failing miserably at: 1/...

CNN's Zanona:

NEW: Frustration in GOP over 1st impeachment hearing, as GOP witnesses undercut their narrative &say no evidence of crimes.

“Picking witnesses that refute House Republicans arguments for impeachment is mind blowing. This is an unmitigated disaster," said senior R aide.

And GOP lawmaker also expressed some disappointment with their performance thus far, telling: “I wish we had more outbursts.”

This morning on a panel for Missouri State University related to , food security & the future, I got a version of the same question I'm asked at every event:

"What can I do personally to make a meaningful difference?"

There are so many ways to answer this, but I thought it would be interesting to share the question on .

How do you have impact? Find hope? Take action?

Okay, I'm feeling goofy, so let's do something fun!

Open the Camera Roll on your phone, and send me the 5th picture from the top, if it's something you legitimately feel uncomfortable sharing then share the next one down, if you're comfortable with sharing anything, just remember to CW if it's a nude or something others might not want to see without warning.

I’m reading “the Overstory” by Richard Powers.

Listening to “They Say I’m Different ” by the funky Betty Davis.

And I’m watching the silly tv show, “Sprung”.

"Central Florida in particular has seen a disproportionate share of cases, which indicates it might be an endemic location for the disease, meaning leprosy has a consistent presence in the region's population rather than popping up in the form of one-off outbreaks."

" 'Travel to this area, even in the absence of other risk factors, should prompt consideration of leprosy,' the report said."

STAY AWAY FROM HERE.

It’s not the spending - it’s the massive tax cuts the Republicans give to the rich.

Heather Cox Richardson, cuts through the noise to present the facts:
“discretionary spending has fallen more than 40% in the past 50 years as a percentage of gross domestic product, from 11% to 6.3%. What has driven rising deficits are the George W. Bush and Donald Trump tax cuts, which will have added $8 trillion and $1.7 trillion, respectively, to the debt by the end of the 2023 fiscal year. “
