A little Africa, France, and Nicaragua, some social media, a bit of foreign policy, and a dash of me! Views are my own and RTs don't = endorsements.

Must read for all humans.

Thoughtful, emotional truth bombs shine a light on what it takes for some to “Come Home Safe.”

I can’t walk a mile in their shoes, but with this book I can glimpse through an open window.

Thank you @TheBuckEsq

You should really look at the Foxfire series of books for everything you would like to know about sustainable subsistence living. I am in awe of how my father grew up.

And now I’m feeling tears because I’m missing my family. Thanks COVID.

@SlateGabfest My grandmother was the type of woman you mentioned on the show. She had 13 children and was a local midwife to many.

I remember her chewing up some tobacco to place as a “poultice” on a bee sting for me. (The sting went away.)

Santa Claus will be coming to town this year, Dr. Anthony Fauci says.

“I took care of that for you,” he says. “…I took a trip up there to the North Pole; I went there and I vaccinated Santa Claus myself. I measured his level of immunity, and he is good to go.” #CNNSesameStreet

I have much to learn. @Isabelwilkerson’s #TheWarmthOfOtherSuns helps.

“Migrants who overcome a considerable set of intervening obstacles do so for compelling reasons. Such migrations are not taken lightly. As distance increases, migrants become an increasingly superior group.”

Never thought I’d see the day where American police would feel emboldened to arrest a journalist doing his job and breaking no law, live on television. The country I was born and raised in is becoming unrecognisable.
