@LibertyCappy That is exactly what I did. My fancy Bluetooth combo washer and dryer is a very expensive paperweight while I have an Amana with push buttons that I put through the paces daily. ๐
On our street, everyone is welcome. Together, letโs build a world where every person and family feels loved and respected for who they are. Happy #PrideMonth!
God bless the soul who stopped their car & jumped a concrete barrier in Western NC to warn oncoming traffic that I-40 had just disappeared in front of them.
โ We, The People, For The People โ
we are the thunder before the break,
the hum of hearts, the breath held tight,
the waiting. the waiting.
we are the children with hands up,
the mothers clutching dreams too heavy to carry,
the fathers lost in a system that forgot their faces,
we are the shout beneath the skin,
a nation stitched together by struggle and song,
we are the whispers of hope,
the ones who learned to sing through clenched teeth,
we are the many, the ones who keep coming,
no matter the night, no matter the storm.
she is our name spoken aloud,
her voice the bridge between us,
her story the story we have lived a thousand times
but never seen printed on the pages of power.
she carries us, every name, every fight,
every prayer sent up from the corner of a room
where we bent down low, asked for strength, asked for justice,
she is the answer that comes not as a whisper,
but as a roar,
a yes that shakes the very ground beneath our feet.
we, the people, rise in her voice,
a chorus of the unseen, the unheard,
those whose silence was never by choice,
we are the shadows stepping into the light,
the echoes finding form,
we are the ones who waited, who watched,
who wondered when our time would come.
now, she stands, and we stand with her,
her stride our stride, her fight our fight,
her triumph the bloom of our collective will.
in her, we are more than the sum of our wounds,
more than the scars we carry like maps,
we are the possibility of something greater,
something fuller, something true.
she is our reflection,
the one who looks back at us and says,
i see you. i hear you. i am you.
and in her voice, we are heard,
we are the many,
and together we sing,
our voices rising like the sun,
like justice,
like a new day,
finally breaking the night.

MOMENTS AGO: This is the scene inside the Kentucky House Chamber right now as police are escorting protesters over Senate Bill 150, a bill critics say is harmful to transgender youth.
"You go after everybody's kids but your own," said Rep. Pamela Stevenson, who opposes the bill.
@rhcobb Made up my mind to make a new start... going to California with an aching in my heaaaart...
Except... they are getting ready to have an atmospheric river, sooooo... might not be good timing.
"If you're going to kill yourself trying because success means just that much to you, great. As long as you know exactly why you're doing it -- in your own words, I mean, & not the ones that come from your Chair, Dean, mom, or neighbor. Or even from me." https://t.co/TSIjg4ySyD
