    🎵 If I were a zombie, I&#39;d chomp in the morning, I&#39;d chomp in the evening, all over this land I&#39;d be a chomping danger, I&#39;d be a chomping warning, I&#39;d chomp out chunks of my brothers and my sisters, All over this land. 🎶 Apologies to Peter, Paul &amp; Mary. #zombie #music

    Living wage for Hawaii: $31/hr. Minimum wage: $16/hr. A friend&#39;s daughter manages a GameStop fulltime for $24,000 per year salary. That calculates (using my suspect math) to $12/hr. And people wonder why their kids are still living at home. Stupid economy! #hawaii #retail #work

    &#39;I can&#39;t work in the farce of climate change cruise tourism anymore&#39;: Why Antarctic guides quit their dream jobs https://phys.org/news/2026-07-farce-climate-cruise-tourism-anymore.html &gt; In the words of a former Antarctic tour guide we interviewed: &quot;You&#39;d see massive glacier calvings, and you&#39;d just want to cry. But all the guests would be cheering. And you&#39;d be like … &#39;can you not put two and two together?&#39;&quot; #ecotourism #Cruise #ClimateChange #ant...

    Do not pass judgement on others, for that is a form of idolatry.

    @KatyElphinstone@mas.to Hi. I&#39;m not autistic but my godson, whom I have known for 30+ years (from his childhood) doesn&#39;t lack imagination at all. And he would agree. He&#39;s written fantasy stories, paints original imaginary scenes in oil and watercolor, and makes ceramics. Sometimes I think the people making up the diagnostic criteria are the ones that lack imagination.

    There was an old lady in Wales who made a good living in sales. She sold people zumba and salsa and roomba, that clever old lady in Wales. #DancingLimericksOrPoems #HashTagGames

    @AlexCorby Also keeping in mind that some artists abused women, some teachers went into that field so they could abuse children, and psychopathy is a condition that people all across the spectrum of occupations can have...

    @AlexCorby Well, Hawaii&#39;s present governor is a doctor... and we had a friend who was furious when he ran for office, insisting that since he was a doctor, he should be being a doctor, nothing else. There are also some successful best-selling authors that were doctors. So should we have a world in which you trained for a specific occupation and therefore you can never do anything but that occupation? No, thanks. That was the world of the Middle Ages.

    #WritersCoffeeClub Apr. 3: Have you studied writing? Did it prepare you, or did you learn more by doing? B.A. and M.A. in Creative Writing. Provided toolsets for thinking and writing. Didn&amp;#39;t help me overcome laziness and lack of self-discipline, but I&amp;#39;ve written some good stories! 😁

    #ScribesAndMakers 3/30. Do birds ever feature in your work? Give an example. One of my active SC is a human thief cursed to endlessly reincarnate into the form of a raven... The ability to fly and the intelligence of a human-raven mind is very useful. And never underestimate the striking power of the wings on a raven that stands 4 feet tall!
