“The word 'apartheid' is exactly accurate…they are absolutely and totally separated."

I will remember Jimmy Carter as one of the only US Presidents to speak honestly about Palestine.

I’m jingling some of the way at this point in the holiday madness. Glad I could escape for an hour and listen to a fantastic #Webworm podcast episode from my fave journalist @davidfarrier - have a listen while you wrap those last gifts won’t you?

@AJemaineClement What’s in a skeet? That which we call a tweet
by any other word would smell as sweet.

@davidfarrier Thanks for sharing this! I’m in San Diego and knew it was the Kumeyaay Nation bc my kids were taught about them in school. Grateful they’re not getting the sanitized history lessons aligned with national identity & narratives I remember. We need to do more.

BREAKING: Trump has named Dr. Oz to serve as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator.

Name a better qualified doctor than Dr. Oz, we’ll go first:

Re Twitter Demise:
Twitter was an evolving place.
Adjusting.
Learning.
Available for idea exchange.
Musk bought it.
Urinated all over it to mark his territory.
Not too hard to pee an X anywhere.
He has totally soaked the platform.
Now he floods the content with unvetted, non peer reviewed propaganda.
Then he watches and does that high pitched giggle.
Again I suggest the urine free platform Blue Sky.

Pick Peace, not piss.

Scroll.
Conjoined to screen-life. Rapt algorithms cancel wonder.
Necks crane into scrying mirrors.
The bots make us crowns.

Sad we are living in our post-truth era.

The only US president who has never read a book is closing down the Education Department ?

Yeah, that figures...

[Joanna de Vos @joanna_devos]

@AJemaineClement Used Twitter/X to connect with the writing community (and for some news) up until 2020. Popped back on recently to process US election results. Seeing even levels of extremism, and online political polarization. Maybe I’ll try BlueSky?

@AJemaineClement American racism rearing its ugly head yet again—trumpublicans spewing the quiet part out loud. It’s disgusting and shameful.

[Joanna de Vos @joanna_devos]

The Democratic Party needs to ask WTF just happened, and the answers may be right there on the 7 train.

Drawn by longing
swells of eastern shore in winter’s heat
Body and flow
Riding waves to hold the past yet future longing
Reading the swell
Board beneath
Lofting
Lifting
Lucky green
Tails and teeth
Scales and sheaths
Keeping on course
Standing on dragons.

@kprather88 @kprather88 I turned on my DMs sent you a reply

[Joanna de Vos @joanna_devos]

@BabaRobi @kprather88 Please reach out to me too. Both my sons are in Troop 260 and I’ll discuss with our Scout Master. I’m a high risk for COVID so this is meaningful project personally and for my community!
