My Thoughts Tonight

Filosofa's Word

Y’know … all the political game-playing, threats, backstabbing, obstruction and more these days takes a toll on a person’s psyche.  We … the vast majority of us … are good citizens.  We vote in every election, we pay our taxes every year, we don’t break the laws of the land.  And in exchange, all we ask is a government “by the people, of the people, and for the people” – a government that uses our tax dollars wisely, that doesn’t waste money on frivolities, that sees to our national security, protects us, and helps those in need.  Instead, we have a Congress that is 99% dysfunctional, members of Congress to whom we pay a salary that is multiple times higher than our own every year, that spend all their time playing political games.  I’M DONE!!!  I will not pay one more dime in federal income taxes!!!  Oh wait ……

Reflection–Reflexo

Coisas da SIL

Eu vi pelo seu sorrisão
O quanto és feliz de montão.

És feliz pelo seu sim
Também pelo seu não.

És feliz pelo dia
Também pela escuridão.

És feliz pela chuva
Também pelo sol.

És feliz por sentir
Também por sorrir.

És apenas feliz
Es apenas assim.

By: Coisas da SiL

I saw by your smile
How happy you are.

are you happy for your yes
Also for your no.

are you happy for the day
Also by darkness.

are you happy for the rain
Also by the sun.

are you happy to feel
Also for smiling.

you are just happy
It’s just like that.

Social Media – the Prequel

Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, MeWe, Tictok and many more – are they new or just this century’s adaptation of human’s need to talk to people we know as well as anonymously?

Are the pictographs left on rock faces, hillsides and in the deserts of the world social media in slow motion? I think yes, along with many forms of graffiti.

I have a collection of social media examples from the turn of the 19th to 20th century – 1900s – they are penny postcards. In the US, in the early 1900s, the postage for sending a postcard was one cent and for most of the country, you could send one within 100 miles and know that it would arrive within a day, to the other side of the country 2-3 days. That meant, you could have a steady conversation with people you knew and “share” the contents with people in the post office as well – grin.

Greetings for holidays, memories of sights seen, local history, as well as photographs of yourself, friends, family, vacations, jokes, etc traveled first by trucks and bicycles and not much later by air.

People from all over sent cards and collected them as well. Here are some examples:

Grand Union Hotel Saranac Lake, New York 1905
Joe Gans (Right) first African-American World Boxing Association champion – lightweight – defending title in Goldfield, Nevada, 1906
View in Brandon, Vermont 1905
Lake Dunmore Hotel, Brandon, Vermont 1905
1905 Christmas postcard

January 6th Committee — Is It Enough?

The work is unfinished and I hope that additional sessions in August will seal the case for trial and reform.

Filosofa's Word

Tonight is the 8th and last of the scheduled televised hearings of the January 6th committee, although as the committee receives new information, they have noted they may schedule more hearings next month.  I applaud the work of this committee … they have left no stone unturned and despite opposition at many points, they have done an excellent job of tying the pieces together, of telling the story of the attempt to overthrow our government, not only on the day of January 6th, but in the days and weeks before and after.  But will it be enough?  Are enough people paying attention?  Do the people of this nation care?  Frank Bruni, writing for the New York Times, ponders the question in his latest newsletter …
