We’re getting ready for a massive day of economic disruption on May Day. There are many ways you can take action, from refusing to shop, to walking out of work, to attending a demonstration: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i...

Yeah, Parkinson. He's probably just taken his med. But he's holding on to the lectern to minimize movement.

Really? That person took a minimum wage retail job. No one does a job like that because they had a dream in childhood of selling cigarettes, lotto tickets, and cold hot dogs to assholes who demand a thank you. Your class is showing and it seems to be lacking.
The Goddard Spark started off on the best possible note.
There’s always room for fresh versions of Goddard—no version is definitive, she’s always evolving—but I am so very, very proud of what was just accomplished. Here’s to the hope it sparks many, many more! Long live Goddard—no matter her form!
Is the boat on its way to the Hague?
Workers over billionares. Build awareness for May Day
@gsparkofficial.bsky.social morning history walk at Goddard College, Vermont.
I am having a great learning weekend on campus! Love this spot of earth.
April 8th, western Maine. Can winter be over?
I don't think we're angry enough that he put us through the shit today.

The Way he wanted it mixed…
What does this do the economy?
It's almost like he's trying to collapse the economy.
Who ordered TACO with a side of lies?
Just for a moment stop to consider that the President of the United States is threatening to use his secret police on weary travelers who regularly suffer delays, no leg room, and skimpy peanut allotment. What could possibly go wrong?
I have one in the spring, who gets to work on my metal roof at first light, 5 o'clock in the morning in the summer...sigh
Five, four, three, two...
And it will be run by people who have a proven track record of working on these issues--governors, community organizers, academics.
They will collaborate with other departments to work on food security, early childhood ed, retirement security, housing support, etc.
It would have written in its mandate that all types of families are families..
Even single parent homes.
Even unmarried people who care for parents.
Even found family.
LGTBQIA.
So, we can avoid nasty limiting ideas.
So we can rebuild a common good.
So we repair from this hateful era.

When this is all over and we rebuild, I would like a department of families. Dept of family would look at child care, maternal care, post partum support, family leave, regulate social media, give grants for local mutual aid orgs, support community literacy, fund elder supports, discuss work/life

I watched the Exorcist at the drive-in from the back seat of the car. My mom yelling at us to go to sleep as she chain smoked. The 70s childhood was a wild ride.
Phillip Roth, Portnoy's Complaint, had a similar effect.
It helped me deconstruct my way of being when I am sick. It's such a wise work.
I read Stephen King at 12.
Love her book, Care Work.
But then a second form of id is required with the same name as your birth certificate. And it can't be a real ID, so a passport, which is 165.00.
I have been broke ass poor in my life, this would still be a hard expense to cover...just to vote.
The law would require your id have the same name you were born with. Lots of married women would need birth certificate and passport. A 300.00 cost if you don't have these docs and hurt low income women.
The bill is currently held up in the senate. It will be legally challenged if passed.
