Walz: "I don't care if you are conservative are flying a Donald Trump flag, a libertarian 'Don't Treat on Me,' a Democratic Socialist -- this an inflection point. If we cannot all agree that the smearing of a citizen and besmirching everything they stood for -- someone has to be accountable."

Contrary to popular belief, Price points out, 'procrastination is more likely when the task is meaningful and the individual cares about doing it well.' When a person cares deeply about a task, the person can become paralyzed by the fear of failure."
— Katie Rose Guest Pryal, _A Light in the Tower_
"Psychologist Devon Price, an expert on procrastination, has famously proclaimed that 'laziness does not exist' according to Price, procrastination is driven either by 'anxiety about....not being "good enough"' or by confusion about what the first steps of the task are... 1/2

Okay, I don't know why I didn't think to look to see if apps existed for knitting and/or crocheting earlier... Because this has been a game changer with knitting lace. It does stink to have another thing that I need my phone for though... But it's also so handy and helpful, sooooo... #knitting

It being tax time, I think this is a good reminder. If you check that box for $3 to donate to the presidential election, it doesn't mean you are paying $3; it means you support keeping big money out of politics. This matters now more than ever.
I have been trying to learn how to hold in my sneezes. This is very hard and not near as satisfying as sneezing 🤧

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.
People simply don't want to be where they don't feel loved. I keep hearing leaders say the "Lord wants to use you" as if that were a good thing. I am tired of being used.
Was at a Stake Conference broadcast tonight and they couldn't get the sound to work right so we used captions and it turns out our Stake meeting really set off the Zoom "profanity filter" with all the God and hell talk. Oh, the irony

I kinda think that the emphasis on quoting church leaders and giving talks on General Conference talks has made Sacrament meetings very bland. I want to hear personal stories from the actual person giving the talk. I want to know and understand my fellow congregants better.
Freedom of speech means nothing without free speakers. Only people can take risks. Only people can be free."

There is no speech without a *Leib* [German word for a person with a body], without a person. Speech is not oppressed. *People who speak are oppressed.* Speech cannot be liberated. *People* must be liberated so that they can speak. 2/3
"The very phrase *free speech*, though we say it all the time, gets us on the wrong track. It suggests that speech is what is oppressed and what is to be liberated. That is incorrect. 1/3
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:
DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

...In American oligarchy, 'free speech' all too often means the privilege of the very wealthy to transmit anonymous propaganda and to fund electoral campaigns. In such a situation, we the people have little to say."
-Timothy Snyder, _On Freedom_, page 154
"In conditions of extreme inequality, the word *freedom* which should belong to everyone, attaches instead to abstractions that suit oligarchs. When we speak of 'free markets' instead of 'free people,' we are in trouble...
