In spite of (or because of) so much that is grim & heartbreaking, my wish for you and for our world is a New Year rich in joy, peace, love, health, kindness, and contentment. May we all prosper in the ways that truly matter.
Enjoy this beautiful Dougie MacLean video, an annual tradition at Chez Laloofah…

No doubt. Much of it has already been adopted into the Republican agenda.
Note there was no #RepublicanAgenda in 2020 or 2022, after #Project2025 produced their policy playbook this year, magically the #GOP had one.

@Laloofah I was honored to vote for him again just a few weeks ago AND his endorsed candidate for Senate, who won her primary as well against a millionaire #alsobrooks

Wishing my fellow vegans who celebrate it a peaceful #ThanksLiving. I’m grateful to you for your compassionate hearts & for acting on your wisdom that taking lives is no way to give thanks.
“May we be guided by our compassionate hearts
rather than our cultural habits…May we create compassionate Thanksgiving rituals
that reflect the fact that neither our values nor an animal
have to be sacrificed in order to celebrate this holiday.”~Colleen Patrick Goudreau

Have you heard of Sarah Moore Grimké, born on this date in 1792? I hadn’t until a few years ago, which is a shame. A wise woman of compassion, courage, & conviction, she & her sister, Angelina, born into a wealthy family of enslavers in Charleston, SC, were far ahead of their time (as was Angelina’s husband, Theodore Weld). And in many respects, given recent appalling developments, also far ahead of our own…

My absolute favorite thing on the Internet, David & his charming Becorns & precious critter friends are a fun, whimsical, creative, funny, and very sweet balm for heart and soul.
Hope you will take a few minutes to treat yourself…

@mvario Of course he does. They plan to strip us of all protections.
“The term ‘regulation’ is framed from the viewpoint of corporations & other businesses. From their viewpoint, ‘regulations’ are limitations on their freedom to do whatever they want no matter who it harms.
But from the public’s viewpoint, a regulation is a protection against harm done by unscrupulous corporations seeking to maximize profit at the cost of harm to the public.”

“One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on land is quite invisible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise.”

ICYMI: Some of the advice #SherrilynIfill gave in her 6 Nov newsletter:
“Our spirits will be assaulted in the coming months -- by coarse & crude language, by open displays of violence, of privilege, & of unchecked power. We may feel as if we are occupied by a hostile force. This feeling will combine with our grief to weaken & exhaust us. We must hold onto the things that refresh our spirits -- time with family, music, art, nature, hobbies, food. We must protect our core.”

“There is still strong in our society the belief that animals & the natural world have value only insofar as they can be converted into revenue. That nature is a commodity. And that the 🇺🇸 dream is one of unlimited consumption.
There are many of us, on the other 🖐️, who believe that animals & the natural world have value by virtue of being alive. That Nature is a community to which we belong & to which we owe our lives. And that the deeper 🇺🇸 dream is one of unlimited compassion.”

From @mariapopova …
“In 1973…[a] man sent a distressed letter to E.B. White, lamenting that he had lost faith in humanity. The beloved author, who was not only a masterful letter-writer but also a professional celebrator of the human condition & an unflinching proponent of the writer’s duty to uplift people, took it upon himself to boost the man’s sunken heart with a short but infinitely beautiful reply”…

Between the election & an interminable bathroom remodel that went sideways last evening, these are more relatable than usual…

Susan B. Anthony is the suffragist who gets the attention, but I most admire Dr. Alice Stokes Paul, Sojourner Truth, & Lucretia Coffin Mott. They have my gratitude when I vote. I encourage learning about these remarkable women; this post focuses on Alice Paul, who died in 1977 (when I was in high school!) Learn about her at these websites:
