I like to scatter about the earth and its people. Dabble in film production/PR. Attendant chez moi de rêve à la campagne sur le lac.

DAY 1 – ARRIVAL

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” https://t.co/EH3reri9lz

Father's pain is real & palpable, but not uncommon or rare in the US. Mass shootings = normal.

Until real changes arrive, one shouldn't worry about the 'if', but more the 'when/how' it'll hit close to home for you.
So treasure your loved ones

Buffalo-Laguna Woods-yesterday Uvalde.

Was looking forward to a Dallas conference + BFF's in H-TX/Austin trip for 2 years.
My body said: No.

I hate this, and it's so much more complex than simple 'fear'. Tired of the predicably avoidable tragedies we endure to live life.

Amerie Jo Garza's father, a med aide, says he found out she was one of the victims when he arrived on the scene and was helping another little girl covered in blood. She told him her best friend had been shot. When he asked her name, she said his daughter's. There aren't words.

Wrote to 'Walks-on-White-Waters' for their bday. Its Sunday 2am for them so tho it was short the convo was 🎇.

The memories have me itching for my next great roadtrip to an unknown destination 🚗🗺️

[Claudia Bennett @ClaudiaOVB]

I don't watch Wheel but glad I did today. #AnotherFeatherInYourCap. Not hat (which was close), map, lap....
That did hurt a bit to watch.😂

May you never know what it's like to be a refugee, but always welcome their humanity with your compassion.

The headlines are just too much, so I took a moment to self-soothe.

My essence is: 🚲🎒🍟
I think it's more accurate than horoscopes.

A great "How to isolate living w/others thread."

It's still hard though.
The costs to buy everything you don't already have; the ability to follow & properly execute the steps; and to do so continuously.

But COVID/long COVID are far worse 😣. So just do your best.

My teen has had COVID for 6 days and the rest of the family is still negative. Here’s what we are doing to limit spread at home 🧵 N95 masks, air filters, open windows, a plan, and understanding that #COVIDisAirborne 1/11

@wolfkin Are you referring to champagne and sparkling wine?

[Lark, Unbroken and Unbowed @larkdeta]

@michaelharriot Great response. Reminds me of "the danger of a single story" speech by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

Or when politicians claim we are “playing the victim,” they can’t see the nuance in because THEY ONLY SEE THE SLAVE.

No one objects to movies about slaves. They object to white people’s flat, one dimensional depictions of Black history & humanity on film

or:

Slave movies

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

That’s why white artists like Post Malone etc emulate Black rappers by talking about guns drugs & violence. Because they overlook the nuance when Tupac rapped about crying tears or when Jay-Z rapped about the conflict between his mother’s concern and providing like a man

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

The MOST COMMON trait of Black athletes is that they grew up in middle-to-upper middle class homes with their fathers. There are actual studies that looked at this phenomenon
