Day 4929: Cool

Because of heat waves, climate change, and the news, it’s very important to stay cool.

It’s cool how many different answers I’m getting to this question about staying cool.

.

Which of today’s images are especially cool?

.

Penguins are definitely cool.

Here’s what I find when I look for “cool” on YouTube.

So many cool people were involved in the creation of “Cool” from West Side Story.

Thanks to all the cool people who are here for this cool post, including YOU!

Day 4081: Permission

I think we should give ourselves permission to feel all our feelings, to make mistakes, to be kind to ourselves and others, to be uncomfortable, to accept everything (including compliments), to face the unknown, to risk rejection, and to be our authentic selves.

Nobody gave me permission to write these words or capture these images, but I’m doing it anyway.

I don’t know who gave permission for all those different holidays and observances for March 5, but I’m going to give myself permission to vote for Joe Biden today.

Yesterday, I gave myself permission to start writing another song.

Day 2823: Use my words against me

“Use my words against me” is something that wordy U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham said in 2016 when he opposed giving a hearing to President Obama’s pick for Supreme Court Justice, the honorable Merrick Garland.

Here are more of Lindsey Graham’s words, which I would like to use against him:

“I want you to use my words against me,” Graham said during a 2016 Senate meeting. “If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination.”

Not only is the vacancy occurring — because of the death of the honorable Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg — in the last year of a Republican President’s first term, it is occurring mere weeks before the Presidential election. Therefore, many people are using Lindsey Graham’s words against him. But that’s not stopping Lindsey Graham from using more words to declare that he will vote to confirm Donald Trump’s conservative pick to replace liberal icon RBG, even before he’s heard any words about who that person would be.

So I would love to use Lindsey Graham’s words against him, but I don’t know how, since his new words indicate that he is against many words I am for, including honor, honesty, and justice.

Yesterday, when the former words of many other wordy Republican Senators were being used against them to no avail, I decided to go for a walk looking for other words to use against them. Specifically, I was looking for these words:

“Don’t let them win.”

I couldn’t find those words, but I found other words instead.

I am doing my best to use words against many U.S Republican senators , including their own from 2016:

Feel free to use my words against me, including these words of gratitude:
