one of the most depressing realizations in politics is the day you understand that a lot of people would legitimately prefer to spend more money to make sure nobody “undeserving” gets a benefit than to make it accessible to everyone

Typed graphic stating ”When I was in 7th grade, our teacher put on a video and told us to take notes. Ten minutes in, she threw the lights on and shouted at Steven Webb Sadki, telling him he wasn't taking notes and he should have been. But the thing was, Steve was taking notes. I saw it. We all saw it. The teacher asked if anyone wanted to stand up for Steve. A few of us choked out some words of defense but were immediately squashed. Quickly, we were all very silent. Steve was sent to the principal's office. The teacher came back in the room and said something like "See how easy that was?" We were reading "Anne Frank." I started to understand. I just thought now was a good time to share this story. Don't ever let anyone tell you that what you see with your own eyes isn't happening.” With the words READ IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. AND THEN AGAIN written large yellow letters at the top

They give us unconditional love, devotion & loyalty.

They are a reliable source of peace, joy & contentment.

That they have made this a better world is an undisputed FACT.

In 2024, I gave away most of my running gear, thinking I might never run again, due to Long Covid. Today, I jogged along the beach, hardly able to believe I was back there

You just never know what the future will bring 😍

For anyone, especially beginners, thinking of doing a marathon this year, Cathal Dennehy’s article (behind a paywall) is an excellent resource to help foster fundamental training principles.

A black cup with Cantona and number 7 in yellow written on it.

My @ucclibrary.bsky.social colleague Alfie went even higher up in my estimation when I saw this Cantona cup on his desk today.
