  2. @thetnholler.bsky.social Question: What happens when a #racist and #fascist politician gives a #TownHall in a #diverse #liberal city at a university with a popular #Music #Business program?

    Answer: You get a ‘hecklers chorus’ that can carry a tune! 📢 🔥 🎶

    #Resist artfully!

  3. Dear Friends of All Good,

    As we wee peeps may know:

    1) Many of us are yo-yo's. We kinda go around the #moon and back before break fast
    2) That is OK on #Mastodon. Yay for us!
    3) I have decided to buy USA (for #posterity)

    Obviously there are a lot of things not required e.g. #Junk politics, Junk Equity, Junk food and of course Junk thinking and mouth pieces.

    How is this massive enterprise to be finded and #funded? As always:

    1) Not buying into or paying for. Enough already
    2) Many manifesting projects are swimming through our collective #consciousness. Perhaps you know a few? :anarchoheart1: :mastolove: :cookiemon_smile:
    3) Micro, microbe and #microbiome #effort

    In other words #alternatives and off-stream. #Diverse, reverse and #verses. We are the pom-poems that sing our wail-song.

  4. Do you #write for kids? I’m looking add a kids corner to the website and would like to feature #shortstories and #poems for #kids

    If you’re interested, please reach out, or send submissions to [email protected]

    Note: Underground Bookshelf is a free #reading resource and does not pay contributors. It is dedicated to bringing more #diverse #literature to #readers everywhere.

  5. In the summer, I give away #secondhandbooks to anyone who comes to my booth at community events. This is a way for me to support access to #diverse #literature during a renewed culture of #bookbans

    I believe in doing this for free because not everyone can get certain types of books at their #library or purchase #books for themselves.

    But I can't afford to do this by myself. Tabling fees can cost anywhere from $50-$300. Even a dollar would help so much!

  7. RE: flipboard.com/@naturenewsteam/

    #Aging in #humans and the reasons that support high #lifeexpectancies are of general applied interest. Of particular research interest are so-called #supercentenarians in #Brazil. As this population is considered genetically most #diverse due to indigenous, European, and African influences. According to the paper below, the secret to aging in Brazil may lie primarily in a #genetic #predisposition.
