After feeling nothing but shame after last Friday's debacle in the Oval Office, your post and Jimmy Carter's quote put a smile on my face. Not much to smile about lately, but I am going to bake that cake and continue to pray for a gentler world. Kudos to Europe for stepping up. And especially Kudos to Zelensky for not being bullied by two bullies who should know better. Thank you so much for brightening my day!

Happy Mardi Gras! This sounds like a perfect “final” treat for this Mobilian to make before a season of fasting. I’m trying to do better about speaking up. I’m the only one in my family (and, sometimes, it feels like my entire immediate community) who believes and votes the way that I do. I’m also the only one who went to university and my thoughts get downplayed a lot as brainwashing, so I tend to just stay quiet. I want to stand up for what is right but always feel like I’m doing so at risk of being ostracized. I know that sounds like such a first world problem. Just what I’ve been dealing with lately. As always, thank you for sharing.
