Awww! Way to make me teary eyed...I saw that sweatshirt and had old fashioned flashbacks of a kaleidoscope of so many Dead shows. Always loved that the late John Perry Barlow became enamoured of the Internet and Web and sang a song of equality and access to all comers. Now, CAKE!

Or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
And a short time to be there . . ."

Happy birthday Sarah! I'm grateful for YOU! xo/m

When my mom sparked, the world became brilliant and beautiful. NPD often got the better of her. Had to be in control. Center of attention. No one could talk about anything but her or her interests but she loved us all, we her. Why are extremists so difficult? (Asks extremist me)

Yep. Most folks on Moderna took it harder on the second go. I definitely did. But the worst pain and malaise passed in 48ish hours. I do have some residual aches and other issues but nothing I personally blink at. Very high pain tolerance. Well, physically. Very low for humans :)

Isn't that how it goes? Just a half hour or so I was thinking of my Mom, how much I miss her, and how much spending time with her before she left us was something. for which I will be forever grateful. My Mom gave us ethics, books, social justice and civil rights, so much more.

The words 'cook' and 'safely' do not apply outdoors in an Arizona drought in June with relentless winds. (almost non-stop since January!!!!) Poof! WHOOSH. Everyone duck, incoming Ian...keeeerash into the POOL!
Found a funny pic thought you might enjoy...
"Morris n' Ronnie Say BYE BYE Donnie" 1/20/2021
Mo (left) is 2.5 yrs younger and Ronnie (right), brother out-law. Mom, upon hearing "he's the one!" lit up and said in perfect Yiddisha Mama "ooh! Welcome home my darling son-outlaw!"

Genealogical genetics fascinates many people. My bros focused on living lost fam, I love, adore, delight in following the history and movement of people generally as well as familial. One fact: Not one drop of northern europe at all. Western and Eastern later in our wanderings :)

Light reflected, light absorbed, color names are measures of light and color. Melanin is pigment, but what defines its amount is varied. I have a great pic of diversity in Iran, my first known point of genetic origin. History suggests my peeps were slaves of Babylon. And on... :D

To add color, bring the fam down to Arizona when the windows open. Ancestral desert dwellers make for darker kidlets, we did great but Mom suffered out here. You'd be bright red in 2 minutes here. Crispy in 10! I'm trying to remember if you get tan like when you were down under?

It's over the top for tax paying citizens. Ask Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk for that money, not over the top at all to o me, but their arrogance "Taxes are for poor people" was the caption with their pics in yesterday's news. That seems sadistic, fearful, weak and not at all wise.
GEEZ. I paid 32k for mine in 1999. Needs 5k to restore to glory. I hit record high mileage from day I bought it off the lot in Henderson, Nevada while at Lake Mead visiting Mom :)
I'm glad you are through it, 2nd was a bit rough for me too. Moderna or Pfizer? Here's to better better better.

I see you, and that's through one hell of an Arizona fire and brimstone day. Weather conditions: Smoke, Heat, Fire, poor visibility in some areas and yet...I see you very clearly. Enhanced Cammo? ;-)

That goes to the core issue with using supercharged words outside their conventional scope. Semantics shift, which happens anyway, but it's more forceful this way. Far darker: Look at how the worst of our history's despotic leaders forcefully repurpose language, signs, symbols.

You're white? Wow! So cool. What's it like being all the colors reflected as light? Do you require a power source?
(relentless, me ;-) )

I'm familia :) I'm saying that I me, not him her she they this that it, but me would not name a social network that. I get the meaning, the irony, the intent. Diaspora is globally charged semantically. Not a criticism of detached networks but as brand. Real people, real trauma.
