Is this the year that an American wins the US Open?

No better time than now, and no better tournament than the US Open, for the streak of futility…

This cartoon should be about more than just one obituary. Let's have the end of the Republican Party... the end of authoritarianism... the end of vulture capitalism... the end of Dominator Culture... but one step at a time.

A quotation from The Talmud

When the Egyptians were drowning in the Red Sea, the angels in heaven began to break forth in songs of jubilation, but the Holy One, blessed be He, silenced them: “My creatures are perishing — and ye are ready to sing!”
 
בִּקְּשׁוּ מַלְאֲכֵי הַשָּׁרֵת לוֹמַר שִׁירָה, אָמַר הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא: מַעֲשֵׂה יָדַי טוֹבְעִין בַּיָּם, וְאַתֶּם אוֹמְרִים שִׁירָה

The Talmud (AD 200-500) Collection of Jewish rabbinical writings
Babylonian Talmud, Seder Moed, Megillah 10b.26 [Rosten (1972)]

A quotation from John Adams

The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. — I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.

John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797–1801)
Letter (1776-07-03, p.m.) to Abigail Adams

A Happy and Blessed Summer Solstice to all! (Winter Solstice to Southern friends!) Drink Summer's Nectar!(from last week, only raindrops being drunk today!)
This should be a work day, but really muddy/skiddy roads (in parts) kept me home..so far lazing indoors (there may have been some chocolate involved..), but going to get out and enjoy the wind and rain in a little.

Happy Summer Solstice! (June 21st 2026)

This day of days marks the point when our regal death star is at its furthest point from the equator, delivering unto us the longest span of sunshine and the briefest night we’ll see all year.

My father is a prosecutor and every year he brings up the fact that Fathers Day is the day with the lowest crime.

I think that says a lot about how many dads commit crimes throughout the year, but can't today because they are too busy being celebrated.

Blog: I Graduated!

Welp, I made it. After being homeschooled K-12, I have finally graduated high school.

My parents originally decided to homeschool me while my mom was still pregnant. Both of my parents felt that public school had failed them in some way, an assessment that was a lot coming from my dad. Growing up, he was sent to some of the best schools in the state, which means that by all accounts, he should have received an excellent education. Instead, he got a lot of the typical Leftist gobbledygook that’s been taught in public schools for decades and as a teenager, he began waking up to how stupid it all was. He ended up learning more in his free time than at school.

Thus, Mom agreed to stay at home to teach me and, later, my brother, and it proved to be challenging. In the early years, I obviously needed more help. That meant more time spent making sure I understood the lessons and was doing my assignments, especially reading, writing, and math. Mom was particularly hard on me making sure I understood those subjects and I remember having meltdowns because I wasn’t getting it.

As you can tell, I survived and am reaping the rewards from those long afternoons on the couch being grilled about my writing.

However, towards late-elementary school, my mom let me be more independent, figuring out my own day-to-day schedule and getting my assignments done. This gave me a good work ethic since I had to learn how to organize my day to get what I needed to do done, while leaving time open for other things, like outings.

Additionally, homeschooling provided an environment to foster critical thinking. The curriculum my family used, while being Christian, gave both sides of the argument and came with a myriad of notes and discussion questions about various topics. For example, discussion questions were provided for every book I had and didn’t just stop at reporting the facts of what I had read to make sure I had actually read the book. Many of them also asked about themes in the book, what literary devices were present, etc. The British Literature course I took in my junior year of high school was especially in depth in its discussion questions and notes.

Homeschooling also allowed me to develop at my own pace. While I’m not going to say that all public-school kids are like this, I think for a lot of kids, the pressure to fit in forces them to develop mentally at a rate that’s closer to their peers than what would be normal for them if they didn’t have that pressure. Without that, however, and from mainly being around adults my whole life, I was able to grow up in a way that’s normal for me. I wasn’t held back by a desire to fit in or to be a part of the latest trend. I was able to just be myself.

Further, being homeschooled has given me the freedom to do the things that I love. I got to write five books, which I’m trying to rewrite to fit more with my beliefs. I started this blog. I started a YouTube channel. I don’t think any of that would be possible if I were in public school, operating on their schedule.

Now that I’ve graduated, I can use the skills that I gained from homeschooling in the real world. As for the blog and YouTube channel, I intend to keep writing and posting as I move through life, though it might get to a point where it’s less frequent.

Until next time,

M.J.

A quotation from The Bible

I have come to my garden,
My own, my bride;
I have plucked my myrrh and spice,
Eaten my honey and honeycomb,
Drunk my wine and my milk.
Eat, lovers, and drink:
Drink deep of love!

#23daystocelebrateOpenEducation
@OpenEdGlobal reflects on a full year of foregrounding, celebrating, discussing, encouraging, supporting, and collaborating on exceptional #openeducation resources, practices, and activities worldwide & the incredible #openeducators that create them.

At #OEGlobal23 we were gifted the wisdom of #indigenousknowledge #educators. In this spirit, we extend one hand backward in #celebration and #gratitude to the open education community we are lucky to support.

#Tampopo is a #weird, #hungry, #funny, #horny, #kinkyish #celebration of #food and #carnal, #primal, #pleasures.

It's all over the place but its sense of innocence, even with the #eroticism in which it indulges a bit, maintains throughout and keeps things light and fun.

The ending really, really, really emphasizes the most fundamental theme of the whole #movie.

I laughed at the many silly moments; it's clear this was a fun #film shoot.

Don't watch while hungry 😂

I've experienced more anti-Métis rhetoric and even racism lately than probably ever in my 45 years. Largely internally. Must mean we are doing something right.

"The Métis Nation of Ontario is thrilled to announce the introduction of Bill C-53 ... a significant step forward in recognizing and honouring the rights of our vibrant Métis communities across the Nation." See:

Many criticize following the Wheel of the Year, saying that it only represents a very small weather region around the world. But I think it is adaptable to where you live. For folks in the lower hemisphere, they have always flipped the meanings and did it their way.

If the Wheel doesn't resonate with you, then by all means, forget about it. But for the rest of us, adapting the rituals, food, and celebrations to what is actually happening in the wild space you occupy can make it relevant and enjoyable.

Imbolc is almost upon us. For my place in Canada, it occurs right after we have been tricked by January thaw into starting yard work and planning our gardens. Then, winter returns almost like clock work with plunging cold and more snow. But for me, Imbolc is like a faint promise of hope, the crisper sunshine, the longer evenings where the chickens daringly hold out to the last possible moment of dusk light before grudgingly turning into the safety of their coop.

Any lambs born this week in my area would have a very hard time of it, no doubt. But our cellars and still rooms have honey, dried herbs, cheese, and canned goods from the sunshine of the previous summer. These all combine into luscious foods to celebrate the affirmation of the return of the sun and growth already started deep in the earth.

So, I am making some quiche, planting some seeds and lighting some candles.
