Boom, just like that the weekend is here. It seemed to come pretty quickly or at least there is a perception it came fast. I am glad its here regardless. Looking forward to chilling out and having some fun. This is Father’s Day weekend in America so there is that to look forward to. I hope all of you have a super weekend wherever you are.
Be woke my fellow Americans and others who care about justice.
This comes from Chattanooga’s Sticky Fingers restaurant. I love this sort of thing and I’m chowing down.
Using a holy text to keep families apart because you are afraid of them is morally repugnant and evil. There is zero justification for it. Shame on those who are advancing it as policy of a sinister government.
Immigration is a complex issue but families should never be separated. What is happening is not what this country is made of. Now its becoming a shell of itself. Truly sad things are happening.
Today is World Blood Donor Day. Thanks to those who donate and help save lives. Our world is grateful to everyone past and present who gives. I’m proud to work for a great regional blood bank in Blood Assurance in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Without diversity, people who have traditionally not had a place at the table or opportunities to advance would still be on the outside looking in. Glass ceilings would not be shattered and women and minorities would be relegated to second class, second tier status. People who complain about diversity it seems want to keep things the way they were and to allow no one else to enjoy the advantages they have had throughout their lives.
No doubt I have benefited from my race and gender and I regret that others have not been afforded the same. It’s past time for a lot of things to happen for the least of these and maybe life should find a way for everyone to have equity, equality, life, liberty and happiness.
