  1. CW: Watch Indigenous news this weekend instead!

    Presented without comment:
    "Hāmiora Bailey says wall to wall Charles III coverage is unappealing to Indigenous people and has devised a solution...a web browser plugin that replaces all monarchy and coronation stories with Indigenous news."

  2. CW: Bridgerton, Charles III's clowning/crowning

    Yes, the answer is in the question: YES.

    Nina Metz (on twitter):
    "The coronation of King Charles is this weekend & it’s no coincidence that the “Bridgerton” prequel #QueenCharlotteNetflix is being released at the same time. I look at the downside of romanticizing the British monarchy and the wealth it amassed via slavery"

    "The truth is ugly"

  3. @BlueWaver22 @Lassielmr @john1954moi Harry is the most likeable of the #brf & arguably has done more good in the world #invictusgames. I do have a similar problem with heirs to fortunes &
    #Harry is one of those. So I’m kind of on the fence here. I don’t want to replace #royalty or #oligarchy. I want them to forfeit their stolen wealth & get a real job.

  4. @bernicecbc @Liga @lassielmr The worship of monarchs is something I don’t understand. Could you share why you like the #BRF? Sadly my ancestors weren’t pristine but their descendants don’t live in palaces paid for by taxpayers either. That’s my main hang up w/ British royalty as an institution. I feel all RF’s should divest their wealth & give it back to the ppl it was taken from. Same for billionaires & oligarchs. #HarryandMeghan #CharlesIII

  5. I’m wondering if I’ll be able to connect with new readers here. TREASURES AND TRINKETS is my favorite of the stories I’ve published so far. It is a short novella that can be read without reading the rest of the series, and it includes a scene inspired by the holiday season. Perhaps #Bookstodon or the #writingCommunity might like to check it out. I’m partial to the #audiobook version, but it’s available as an #ebook or free #Braille #BRF as well. books2read.com/treasuresandtri

  6. As I think about taking on new roles in #tech #software #productmanagement #management #consulting or #agiletransformation I feel a strong need to do so with an eye toward civic responsibility. I don’t know about you, but I don’t feel good about capitalism for capitalism sake, the “if you’re not growing you’re dying” mentality. I want to build products that make people’s lives better and evolve at a pace that makes sense for society. #brf

  7. Of all the movements I’d like to see gain steam, a movement toward a cordial political discourse is at the top of my list. I try not to question a person’s morals or motivations. I question policy positions. One side believes in boot-straps, the other safety-nets. Some lean heavily on the government’s role, many chose religions and charities. The average person believes in compassion and prosperity. Wouldn’t the world be a better place if we all spent more time on common ground? #politics #brf
