  1. This recent cover of Stephen Foster's "Hard Times" by the legendary Mavis Staples blows me away. 🎶

    "For me and for many others, it’s Foster’s finest work. The song is untainted by dialect, with a memorable tune and powerful lyrics, and I have found it a salve during recent hard times."

  5. Hard Times

    "Now, this schoolroom is a Nation. And in this nation, there are fifty millions of money. Isn’t this a prosperous nation?"

    ‘What did you say?’ asked Louisa.

    ‘Miss Louisa, I said I didn’t know. I thought I couldn’t know whether it was a prosperous nation or not, and whether I was in a thriving state or not, unless I knew who had got the money, and whether any of it was mine."

  6. "Songs don't wear out. Good songs are good now. If they were a comfort during those hard times in the past, they'll be a comfort in today's age."

  8. Got robbed in Namibia by two armed attackers… since then things have been pretty tough—mentally and financially.

    I need to replace my device and cut costs, so right now I’m basically living on porridge. Not gonna lie though, it actually tastes good.

    This weekend I might go to the mall and treat myself to a coffee ☕

  9. @[email protected] The first - and only - device I ever used was Blazie's original #BrailleNSpeak - That had a proper 'Speech box' mode on it. Sadly, after Wednesday May 21st, 1997 due to an #AntiBrailleInitiative and publicly showing my hate for a system designed to fail, I unfortunately successfully graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School and the Jetzens #HardTimes on Tuesday June 3rd, 1997. Shows how proudly 'young at heart' I am.

  14. Give yourself a break: the ongoing challenge of showing myself compassion.

    I have been stuggling to show myself compassion. Instead, I tend to blame myself when things don't go well and have unreasonable expectations. It's a mindset I need to break by taking some small steps, and part of that is talking about it.
