Wherever I Go :: Twenty Four

Experimenting with the yarn stash, then learning I may be closer to meditation than I realized. Lately, yarn goes wherever I go. Mister Foo loves meditation, too, and is about to join me.

With Infinity More Monkeys, a picture a day.

Chirp-Chirp-Chirp BirdHouse Notes

Rest In Power, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

We mourn her passing, but we will not surrender our devotion to democracy. We must rise up, unite, and move forward. Register, and vote. Vote blue, down the ballot. Vote in every election, local, state, and federal. No one person will effect the progress we seek, reverse systems of racism, nor see justice done, so we must fill the seats, everywhere, with justice warriors, intelligent representatives, and we must speak out against tyranny, racism, inequity, and we must speak up for the environment, education, healthcare, and civil rights for all people.

Oh, yum! Maria got enrolled in a fourth class, and it's Culinary Arts. The choices were few, so she went with a favorite, and she is looking forward to repeating some recipes, and getting to complete the things that got COVID-cancelled last spring. And like I said, "Yum!" She is in the kitchen now, and I smell orange-cranberry scones baking! This is the end of week two, and she shared with me that "It's going well. All things considered, everything is ok." She held my hands, and her eyes and steady voice were assuring, certain.

What if we, and media, talked about the cause of violence, bias, racist acts, neglect, and abuse, as much as the victim? We talk about "Black problems," and without emphasizing the source of their problems, we miss the opportunity to showcase what and who are responsible, and we create an impression that BIPOC are perpetually victims, for some "inexplicable" reason.

I follow Lia Rose on Instagram, and she talks about this "dynamic that permeates all power imbalance, " and she includes these headlines to highlight how we could rephrase news to highlight causes with issues.

"Today White Institutions Murdered

Another Unarmed Black Man"

"Medical Bias is Killing Black Newborns"

"Heterosexuals Are Trying to Legislate Everyone Else's Bedrooms Again"
