New goal: publish my book before the fall of the United States. I think I may have already missed that deadline though.

Freshly harvested basil and cilantro.

The morning bounty of basil and cilantro. I see pasta and guacamole (not together) in my immediate future.

The consequences for a people is always deadly when led by people who crave power more than the advancement and well being of the people.

Very!!

Gardening is so rewarding. This is how it started…

As we witness the expansion of anti-DEI one industry has seemed to escape scrutiny. The food and restaurant industry.

Every Mexican, Soul Food, Caribbean, Cajun, Thai, Chinese, Japanese restaurant I pass is still packed.

I guess bangers and mash only isn’t enough to satisfy our American palates.

Prior to 1988, American Women weren’t allowed to apply for business loans from a bank, without a man.

Moderna withdraws application for COVID-flu combination vaccine Moderna said on Wednesday it has withdrawn an application seeking approval for its flu and COVID combination vaccine candidate after discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

This is absolutely terrible news.

With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately.

If Rational Arguments no longer work in US governance, it’s evidence of a deeper problem in our educational system, which favors what to know over how to think — how to critically analyze, process, & verify information.

Seems like a bad time to reduce funding for Public Education.

The loss of critical thinking will be the detriment of our nation.

We are so stupefied by social media and things that don’t matter that we leave zero mental bandwidth for the things that actually do matter.

Even in darkness we must see the benefits of devils and demons stepping into the light so we can all see who they are.

Definition of an emotional terrorist. They beg for the smoke, then when they get it they play the victim.

Right? 👇🏽🤢

The essence of U.S. Christianity is that there is a direct proportion between how much someone loudly proclaims that they are a Christian and how much they despise the actual stuff that Jesus enjoined people to do.

I exclusively stay at Marriott hotels. 15 years and counting.

Have you heard of Goodr? The founder is Jasmine Crowe-Houston and she is amazing! For the past 7 years her company has been addressing food insecurity outside of fickleness of government actors. I can introduce you to her if you would like.

From Red Coats to Red Hats. America has never wanted a king!

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

I have never understood how the same “financial experts” who support sound theory of diversification in portfolio holdings, support the very people who oppose diversification in society. Same principles apply. Diversification leads to greater outcomes.

That’s why I find their rhetoric disingenuous.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - President Lyndon B. Johnson

Someday soon, the light bulb will go off in the minds of everyday Americans. We will all realize that the dollar is not, nor has it ever been the currency of the US.

If one truly believed that American History was comprised of European “saints”, who did not massacre an entire population of indigenous people, nor enslave millions of other people who were human trafficked to these shores, there would be NO NEED to censor history or ban books.
