It's good to see you. Come on in, leave your shoes in the hallway, we've got fire on the stove preparing lunch for later. In the meantime, browse the bookshelves and plunk down on the sofa with one, or pick out some tunes from the music library or come in to the kitchen to help with the cooking. Our special blend of tea is steeping and will be right up.

TO A FOIL'D EUROPEAN REVOLUTIONAIRE.
Walt Whitman

COURAGE yet, my brother or my sister!
Keep on—Liberty is to be subserv'd whatever occurs;
That is nothing that is quell'd by one or two failures, or any number of failures,
Or by the indifference or ingratitude of the people, or by any unfaithfulness,
Or the show of the tushes of power, soldiers, cannon, penal statutes.

What we believe in waits latent forever through all the continents,
Invites no one, promises nothing, sits in calmness and light, is
positive and composed, knows no discouragement,
Waiting patiently, waiting its time.

(Not songs of loyalty alone are these,
But songs of insurrection also,
For I am the sworn poet of every dauntless rebel the world over,
And he going with me leaves peace and routine behind him,
And stakes his life to be lost at any moment.)......

Disability Caucus 1/28/2017: Not Worthy of an Office Job

Submitted by The Aspie Corner on Sat, 01/28/2017 - 7:23pm

May of this year will mark 5 years since graduating college. As of now I still have yet to find a stable job for one reason or another. Just last year I sent out resumes for over 200 postings and to make a long story short, no one was interested either because I didn't have experience or a license.

Saturday Song Open Thread - John Hardy

Submitted by enhydra lutris on Sat, 01/28/2017 - 5:00am

Hey, it's songday. I pick a song that I believe warrants it and publish an assortment of the covers of that song by various persons and or groups. Pick a few that are new to you and have a listen. It is also, of course, an open thread to talk about anything you feel like.

Today's song is: John Hardy
