Planned event - a little family getaway to the snow. Non planned event - not paying attention to how much snow was actually coming down and not being able to get the car up the hill out of the canyon, thank you family that help pushed us out. #kindnesscounts #KindnessToday

Good morning. An appropriate cartoon strip for today:

This OpEd by Prof. Hannah Lebovits is right on. PLEASE READ! Two points. The Bill of Rights should apply to everyone, not just those like us. Second, most people do NOT choose to be poor. They're victims of circumstances or illness - they could easily be us.

Wow. A great thread by @PeteWharmby on how to be kind to #neurodivergent families and friends during Christmas and other holiday. It's all about kindness! https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1606244467949723649.html

@MicroSFF - This is such a wonderful story for right now! #Kindness #KindnessCounts

@revjorobertson - I agree! The absence of an algorithm boosting things, and the easy ability to temporarily (or permanently) mute. I'm finding it's much more civil and enjoyable.

Now - I'm just busy building my lists of everybody I want to keep following, as well as new people I'm "meeting."

@RevDaniel - So glad to see you here on Mastadon. I very much appreciate the values you espouse!

In the short period I have been here, I've discovered I don't miss the anger, the nastiness I've seen on the bird site. What's more, I find it much easier to just mute or block those whom I'd rather not interact with.

I look forward to following you here!
