Retired teacher. I am interested in what is going on in the world. I love hiking, science, math, a funny man and two funny girls in Chicago and LA.

The “Sister Senators” are the only women in the South Carolina State Senate. Together, the three Republicans, one Independent and one Democrat are refusing to allow the legislature to pass a near-total ban on abortion, despite a Republican supermajority. https://t.co/mAEbcGtDPj

In case you were wondering, Tennessee was originally a Native American village called "Tanasqui" — it was inhabited by the Cherokee before they were forcibly displaced white invaders/colonizers.

You would’ve known this. Had it been taught to you in school.

Many generations of people around the world have seen Michelangelo's David, none of them have ever called that legendary art "porn."

Until now.

A Florida principal was forced to resign when conservative parents there saw a picture of David and complained that it was porn.

Who else agrees that the censorship has gotten way out of control? 🤚

Like the overwhelming majority of Americans, President Biden and I believe women—in consultation with their doctors—should be in charge of their reproductive health care, not politicians.

551 days since the Taliban BANNED girls from going to school. Afghanistan is ONLY country in the world that has made education a crime for teenage girls.

These empty girls' classrooms symbolize a grave violation of human rights. The world's silence will not be forgotten.

If I were white, I’d want my kids to learn about Indian boarding schools and the Native American genocide. Not to make them “woke.” But to help them grow into intelligent, compassionate, well informed adults.

The bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1,000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey. For us it is only a teaspoon of honey, but for the bee it is a life. 

Watch two bees work together to remove a bottle cap. 🐝
