  1. *SOUND ON* Shylo the Weather Wonder Cat doesn't mind thunder, lightning, or fireworks. On the other hand, she doesn't like the vacuum, and she is NOT a fan of these jet-engine fans working to dry my place after the flood. I gave her a hiding perch, which she appreciated. There will be a few days of this. 🐈

  2. RE: saturation.social/@debcha/1172

    I’m still so proud of this little book. If you read it, I hope it’s useful to you.

    And I’ve said it before, but if you’d like a copy but don’t feel you can swing the purchase right now—shipping costs, how your budget’s looking this month, whatever—just send me an email. We’ll figure it out.

  3. I had wild grapes. I had a three-day weekend. Clearly, an intervention was required.

  4. Something to think about on #LaborDay. It's unfortunate how on point this is a century later.

    Pen: Franklin-Christoph Model 28 Libertas EF nib
    Ink: Noodler's Burgundy
    Paper: JetPens b7 natural 75gsm

    The ink really spreads out on the coated paper. It creates some decent shading in the process.

  5. Honoring #Labor

    Something Biden was all about. No matter what else, he was of & for 'the people' - workers, laborers, families.

    Trump? Labor is for the little people.... Let Sir repeat his wondrous wins!

    Sick, twisted, tangential... Be it #dementia or #BrainSpurs mixed with #TrumpVirus... What a contrast between a President serving #WeThePeople & improving our lives, versus a #grifter, #liar, #felon there to take it ALL for himself!

    This #KimKelly interview from #MovementMemos #podcast (I can't recommend this podcast highly enough):

    "Kids have always been treated as expendable little products if they were the wrong color or came from the wrong place, or spoke the wrong language or looked the wrong way. . . . I live in Philadelphia. Every time I go to City Hall I walk by a plaque memorializing her [Mary Harris "Mother" Jones's] 1903 March of the Mill Children wherein she took hundreds of mill workers who were children on a march from Philly up to Long Island, where President Theodore Roosevelt had his summer home. Their goal. . . was to publicize the harsh conditions of child labor and to demand a 55 hours work week for the kids who worked in those factories. . . . 55 hour work week was like their pie in the sky goal."

  12. Americans Lost Their Way When They Lost Respect for Labor - And Those Who Do It. #LaborDay

    This editorial is behind a paywall in the San Antonio Express News, but this snippet says a lot:

    "It figures that Americans don’t understand the meaning of Labor Day. After all, many of us seem to misunderstand the whole concept of labor. The fish rots from the head, as the old saying goes. And, in this case, the president is part of the problem.

    It’s no secret that President Donald Trump loves money. Yet what isn’t often talked about is how much contempt he seems to have for the lowly folks who generate much of it. I’m talking about the working-class people whose toil and sweat make rich people richer. As Trump sees it, those of us who work for a living are suckers. If we were smarter, we could be out on the links playing golf while our money works for us."

  13. #laborday. I’m reading Richard E. Miller’s The Messman Chronicles in order to help me understand my father’s life at sea as a #Filipino #messman and steward, and his sometimes self-censored references (in letters home) to racial and other conflicts aboard ship. Miller's book was about Black crew, but also dealt with Filipino and other #messmen & stewards. Wrote about it in my newsletter:
