Great sentiments from a great man.
“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.”
Finally, after something like four years, I am refreshing the main site template. Frankly, seeing as I’m not giddy with the blog template, I might morph some of it over here too. Or do something different. I hope.
In the meantime, wish me luck on fleshing out the template and converting the pages. Give it a look-see here and tell me what you think.
I mean, if: a) you are interested, and b) the comments work again.
Freaking insane. But crazy might be what saves us all.
Sure there is stuff to quibble about, but I’m not about to trouble myself to try to do anything I’d deem better. Video link.
This is just damn cute. Enjoy.
Yeah, right.
Seriously? F the South.
I have lived in Texas, worked in almost every southern state. They fly a flag celebrating treason, still call elderly black men “boy” and have taken a serious look at treating (mostly) undocumented brown folks into either felons or slave labor. Or both. And most of the latter has happened in earnest just this year in states like Georgia, Alabama, and North Carolina.
So, yeah, this article speaks to that syndrome. That sickness. That unspoken sin carried by anyone who still believes in racial hatred or just quietly lets in hang like an evil fog just outside their front doors.
An interesting snapshot of a few of the many millions involved in the Arab Spring this year.
