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…

@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

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…

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”…

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:

The piece below by Morgaan Sinclair, PhD, originally published in Dec 2023, is critically worth revisiting now, as Trump’s malevolence is even more evident & so much hangs in the balance:
”#Projection is dangerous because it allows us to take absolutely everything about ourselves that we despise, offload it onto somebody else, & then punish them for what *we* are doing.”

“He [Trump] is looking for obedience. This…shocks him about 🇺🇸 generals… that they swear an oath to the Constitution, not to the president…
…a wide swathe of people who worked in the nat’l security area, from John Bolton to H.R. McMaster to many others, have expressed…concern that the guardrails will be off next time and…Trump will try to do the things that he wasn't ‘allowed to do’ in the first go-around.
They're extremely worried about it…”

More reprehensible, dangerous disinformation from the MAGA ☠️ cult. Subject matter experts & those in positions of trust & authority need to speak out & stand up to these vile bullies!
"’What you see is a pattern of fear & neglect of professional responsibilities across the state, in part because of the fear of this governor & the vindictiveness of this governor," said Goldhagen, a former health department director in Jacksonville.”

🧵 1/2 Today is #ConstitutionDay in 🇺🇸, & the anniversary of the 1858 death of #DredScott.
Born enslaved ca. 1799, Dred Scott is known for the notoriously vile & inhumane 1857 SCOTUS decision against him & his family, which ruled — among other injudicious things — that Blacks had no rights to freedom or citizenship. It took the Civil War, Emancipation Proclamation, & 13th, 14th, & 15th Amendments to negate it. Manumitted w/his wife & 2 daughters in May 1857, Mr. Scott died of TB 16 months later… -
#Genealogy rant:
#FindAGrave just made many changes to the site; most seem pointless or aggravating. The worst: 🌸 scrapbooks are no longer arranged in horizontal rows of 6 images but in 1 LONG vertical row! 😵💫
And FG added THIS to memorial searches:
“Death year must be in the past.”
(Duh, they’re graves! 🤪)
“Birth year must come before death year.”
(Yeah, that’s ALWAYS been the order of birth & death! 🙄)
“Birth year must be in the past.”
(Again, they’re graves, not baby shower registries! 😖) -
@GottaLaff In a sane, reasonable, & just nation, “what to look for next” is a record-breaking voter turnout & landslide #HarrisWalz victory, overwhelming Dem down-ballot wins, & total repudiation of MAGA’s toxic ideologies in all their hideous forms, followed by our nation rewarded with justice too-long delayed as Trump is finally held accountable in multiple courtrooms, plus effective reforms to restore the corrupt SCOTUS to an entity trustworthy, ethical, & just. For starters.

I admit I’m cheating a bit using the #FensterFreitag and #WindowFriday hashtags with this, but it’s the view through our bedroom window, so doesn’t that count a *little* bit? ☺️

Today would have been Molly Ivins’ 80th birthday. I miss her…
“Listen to the people who are talking about how to fix what's wrong,
not the ones who just work people into a snit over the problems.
Listen to the people who have ideas about how to fix things,
not the ones who just blame others.”

🚨 This #HeatherCoxRichardson interview with #ChristianeAmanpour from July 3 remains my pinned post (unfortunately) and it bears repeating!
Dr. Richardson begins by discussing the unconscionable end-of-session #CorruptSCOTUS rulings, then talks about the notorious (& ill-conceived, grossly misconducted) debate. But I’m beginning it at the 5:00 mark, when she begins describing the ramifications of replacing the incumbent President Biden in the campaign:

Not long now! 😋
We have 3 cherry 🍅 plants, 2 of which are Sungolds, that we wheel around our deck to catch the ☀️. They were free from the local organic farm where we get produce (unlike a CSA, we choose what we want & in what quantities). We got the Sungolds <3 weeks ago, repotted & staked them; they’ve really grown!
