@tithenai And the best part is that it works even if you are only in a place where you can imagine doing it. What a bargain! :)

This response has served me many times. Thank you for this and so much of your work, Amal.

Find your way to a body of water. Along the way, or by the water, pick up a stone. Clutch it your hand, & pour your anger into it; let it grow warm from the heat of your heart. Weep, if you need to.

Then throw the stone into the water as far as you can, exhale, & go home.

Find a bit of beauty in the world today. Share it. If you can't find it, create it. Some days this may be hard to do. Persevere.

I still believe.

Spanish poet and playwright Federico del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús García Lorca, known as Federico García Lorca, was abducted and murdered on August 19, 1936, just outside Granada, Spain. He was 38 years old at the time of his #death and his body has never been found.

@SlauBeSharp @danklass Indeed, very fun to see in my podcatcher. Saving it for later while I get through the great Twitter disentanglement.

[Peter Bowden @PeterBowdenLive]

If you leave Twitter, I recommmend you DO NOT delete your account.

All old tweets @ mentioning you will still exist and if someone grabs that now available username then all tweets @ referencing that username now point to them.

@kgs Wow, I haven't thought about The Well for a long time. I'm falling back to RSS and email, presuming anyone actually blogs anymore.

Why do some people say “aks” instead of “ask”?

It’s not “just their accent” and it sure as hell isn’t a mispronunciation.

There’s a linguistic reason and a cultural reason. Let’s quickly look at both:

I loved and needed this. You might, too.

Last weekend, I went to Michael Flynn's ReAwaken America conference and discovered that Qanoners had revived George magazine. For some reason I took it personally. https://t.co/Ypgu5oewVU via @MotherJones
