Benefactor
The only benefactor we have is us. The business of taking care of ourselves is our responsibility. Let’s put aside all if, but’s and can’t and do the work that is necessary for our deliverance.

It’s All About Life, so Let’s Get Excited!
Oh my, we have landed on another new day, and we’re off to another new week. What excites you today, even if things aren’t going as you planned? Even if it is simply for the joy of waking up, and rising to see a brand new day, get excited!

Mastriano’s Attacks on Jewish School Set Off Outcry Over Antisemitic Signaling – The New York Times
Mr. Mastriano, who promotes Christian power and disdains the separation of church and state, has repeatedly lashed Mr. Shapiro for attending and sending his children to what Mr. Mastriano calls a “privileged, exclusive, elite” school, suggesting to one audience that it evinced Mr. Shapiro’s “disdain for people like us.”

Last Friday, 7 October 2022, President Biden issued the 2nd Presidential Proclamation on Indigenous Peoples’ Day. There has been a growing movement to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and at least ten states have already done so. Ten other states officially observe the day, though they have not replaced Columbus Day as yet.

The ice cap, top of the world
A lighting strike, a storm grew wild
She saw her mother's womb, her death

thơ nguyễn thị phương trâm
Trên đỉnh núi cô ấy dừng lại
Phân chia rõ ràng: tương lai của cô ấy, quá khứ của cô ấy
Từ đó những con đường mây che kín
Cô ấy đứng, ngẩng cao đầu, đôi mắt sáng, kiêu hãnh.
Nắp băng, đỉnh của đỉnh
