Within you
there is a sanctuary
to which you can retreat
at any time and be yourself.

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

Many people still don’t realize that literacy isn’t just about being able to read. It’s about being able to comprehend, evaluate, and apply the information in front of you. The gap between the two is becoming increasingly alarming.

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

The horrors persist, but so do the sea, the moon, sunsets, forests, rivers, ocean waves, wildflowers, fresh air after a storm, mountain views, trees, libraries, books, good music, laughter, warm hugs, deep conversations that make time disappear, and the word “fuck.”

I want my children and their children to inherit national parks and polar bears, not data centres and dry riverbeds.

Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every fucking thing on CBS News. From the morning all the way through to the evening. These are the same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian. These people are the biggest bunch of pussies that masquerade with these grandstanding letters like they’re such badasses. These people don’t care about the truth, they don’t care about journalism, they don’t care about the Constitution, they don’t care about a free press. It’s just absolutely devastating what these oligarchs have done to our country”

Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.

Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

Jane Fonda: “We’re seeing things happen that have never happened before. Authoritarianism has made it’s way into every single nook and cranny of our government. They are kidnapping people. They are illegally deporting American citizens. They’re shooting people. They’re blinding people. It’s not a question of right or left. It’s a question of right or wrong.”

Mark Ruffalo, "This pin is for Renee Nicole Good who was murdered"

"We have a vice president JD Vance lying about what's happening"

"We have a war with Venezuela which we illegally invaded"

"President Trump says international law doesn't matter to him"

"He says only his own morality matters to him, but the guy is a convicted felon, a pedophile, the worst human being.. If we're relying on this guys morality, for the most powerful country in the world, then we're all in a lot of trouble"

"This is for Renee Good.. It's for the people in the US who are terrorised and scared today"

"I love this country, what I see here happening, it's not America"

"I want to be here to celebrate, I am here to celebrate and I'm proud to have a Golden Globes nomination"

"But also, this is not normal any more"

Normalize sitting in your house in peace, reading books and minding your own business. The feeling is priceless.
