    If an entire race of people say these jokes are not funny; the jokes hurt them & their children; & please cut it out; but you insist on fighting for the right to make them anyway at the risk of social opprobrium & corporate disavowal, my take is: Honey, what happened to you?

    Positive thought to start the day. From Naomi Shihab Nye, poet. This pretty much nails it on why I write.

    "The media" IS Facebook, Twitter, and Google. They are at the HEART of newsroom consciousness, they shape workflows, story presentation, commissioning, distribution and marketing strategies etc. How could they not? They are the sea that we all swim in

    Today is the 110th anniversary of the Triangle Factory Fire. At 14, Kate (who lived at 515 E 11th St) was one of the 2 youngest victims. Safe workplaces are still needed all over the world.

    Mine too! It looked like a landing strip before, flat, no curves. Now it’s just a deflated ballon. Please write it.

    Positive thought to start the day. Bold moves. I’ve ordered the foot and the body creams from the brand (O’Keefe’s) credited with rescuing my hands. I’ll have the 2nd vaccine in late April, and shall emerge not as a gila monster but as a nubile maiden. Or something like that.

    “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” But what if is one-sided? What if are left out? How do we revise history without erasing it entirely?

    I love this. Boston needs Kim_Janey!

    Hello, Boston! Your Mayor is a Black woman from Roxbury, who rides public transit, speaks Spanish, and makes the best sweet potato pie ever! When’s the last time you could say that?

    Yes! I have a voice. What I need is for men to stop speaking over me so I can actually be heard.

    The phrase “giving voice to the voiceless” has always irritated me. ⁩, Sweden’s former foreign minister, put it into the right words: “No woman needs to be ‘given a voice.’ Everyone has a voice. What is needed is more listening.”

    I couldn’t agree more. A culture built on worshipping money and imperiling lives is destroying us. Imagine, some of these people are parents. They have friends they never see, passions and interests they never pursue. Walks they never take.

    I feel like so many places need to take a long hard look at themselves. It's not sustainable to have people work these hours and yet many industries are built on this mentality. I think it's time to press the reset button
