"The #NEA is updating its grantmaking policy priorities to focus #funding on projects that reflect the nation's rich artistic heritage & creativity as prioritized by the President,"the email, several copies of which have been shared w/NPR, stated in part. "Consequently, we are terminating awards that fall outside these new priorities."
I've belonged to at least a couple cycle coalitions when I could afford it (and when they weren't horribly ableist)... #BikeTooter #Berkeley

Punny people of fedi, can you help with a pun on the tip of my tongue?
A few years ago while driving around Berkeley / Oakland, I saw a window blinds and shades business van with the absolute best slogan, which has somehow been wiped from my mind.
The gist was that if you didn't like your window shades/blinds/curtains, they'd improve them for you. Like maybe "If you don't like the view from your windows, let us cast some shade for you"
It was certainly punchier than that, but I'm pretty sure window(s), view, and shade(s) were mentioned. Maybe also tired, old, and/or window treatment(s)
ps: Alcatraz Shade Shop is in that general area, and the store has a letter board that they put similarly themed puns on, but I'm certain the punny slogan I'm thinking of was on the back of a van, in a more permanent sort of livery.

‘Hands Off!’ protest in #Berkeley denounces Trump's power grab

"Roger Studley, founder and community manager of #Berkeley #Moshav, said the idea has been in development for more than a decade. He was first introduced to the concept of #cohousing while in graduate school at #UCBerkeley, around the same time he was reconnecting with his #Jewish roots after years of distance from #Judaism.
As Studley deepened his involvement in Jewish life, he began to imagine a blending of these two ideas. The result was the formation of #BerkeleyMoshav — a community where Jewish life will be one aspect of daily living, but where people of all backgrounds are welcome, he said."

1. My husband went w/ me to his first #TeslaTakedown protest & we met someone who was also there for the first time.
2. One of the organizers at the #TeslaTakedown protest noticed my #Moe's bookbag, told me he went to Berkeley, majored in philosophy, and #Spinoza was his favorite, and he talked about the relevance of Spinoza to today's crumbling world.
3. 3 people said they liked my T-shirt, including a woman at H Mart.

It's #WorldPoetryDay. What poem would you recommend that we read? Mine is Allen Ginsberg's, "A Supermarket in California." Here's a few lines & a link to the whole poem:
I saw you, Walt Whitman, childless, lonely old grubber, poking among the meats in the refrigerator and eyeing the grocery boys.
I heard you asking questions of each: Who killed the pork chops? What price bananas? Are you my Angel?

#3GoodThings (getting harder with each passing day)
1. Official 36th anniversary with my husband but we met in #Berkeley, 1982.
2. Did a grief support group for #HFC. Although my computer crashed and when it came back to life I had no video, I think it went well. Laughter. Tears. As the title of the grief group says, "Keeping Each Other Company: #Caregiving and #Grief." We did that.
3. Finished grading student papers and submitted grades. Some truly spectacular essays on #EdgarAllanPoe.
