Music For Peace

First, here is a video to go with Bee’s post here yesterday:

(in case her initial video was unavailable.) Today, we get 2 from Bee, as she observes the Blogger’s Global Strike For Gaza. Post 1, then Post 2!

Three videos is plenty; I’ll do one next time! ☮ 🕊 ✌

Music For Peace

Bee brings us another song for peace; the video is not available in some areas, but she’s transcribed the lyrics in her post below. I think you’ll appreciate her entire post.

For my selection: this is not the usual rock or folk that I’ve been posting; it’s very beautiful, all the same. I’ve been curious about it since Bee began the Peace Song Challenge, so today’s the day! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Trae’s Weekly Skews

They have TN St. Rep. Aftyn Behn on with them. Worth watching; she’s a candidate we should support however we can.

Some Fun

with book covers that just shouldn’t be. (Aww, it didn’t reblog; click through to enjoy the whole piece, and you will; keyboard alert!)

Cover Snark: Crabs, Gynos, & Dragons – Oh My

by Amanda · Nov 24, 2025 at 2:00 am · View all 6 comments

Welcome back to Cover Snark!

Elyse: Is this a PSA?

Tara: Or a how-to guide? Do you need hats and/or scarves to transport the crabs after you catch them?

Sarah: Gloves, too.

Tara: Oh yeah, the tiny ones can go in the fingers.

Claudia: Hmm my mind went to pubic crabs, I’m so sorry…

Sarah: Oh, me, too. I figured that was why their hair was covered.

(snip-go read this, it’s hilarious!)

What do you say when “honoring your parents” is used against LGTBQ+ kids?

I know this morning I promised a video.  I did get two steroid shots at full strength one in each shoulder.  Over the next few days I should feel much more energetic.   I also have an appointment for a month to do spine shots.  But as of today I am far too tired to do a video.  All I can do is stay up for another hour trying to gather cartoons and memes for tomorrow’s post.   I hope to be able to post Angie’s post and get to some comments.   I talked to my doctor, they again want to up the pain meds but that will be worse for me I think.   Thanks.  Hugs

Volunteering With W. Kamau Bell

I so enjoy W. Kamau Bell’s many talents. Here’s one of his substack posts. There is video along with text. Enjoy!

Who’s With Me… at the Food Bank? Episode 2 by W. Kamau Bell

I’m talking to a Food Bank volunteer about why it is awesome to be a food bank volunteer! Read on Substack

snippet:

In the second episode of Who’s With Me… at the Food Bank?—our new shortform series on Substack—I’m back at the Alameda County Community Food Bank in Oakland, CA. I’m talking to Audrey Curbo, one of their lead volunteers. Audrey began volunteering at the food bank during the early days of COVID, a period that she (unsurprisingly) calls a “dark time”. Audrey has been volunteering there ever since and is now a part of leading and organizing volunteers, including those with disabilities. Audrey does all this work with a smile on her face, a song in her heart, and American Sign Language in her fingers. Audrey talks about learning ASL from Youtube, just so she could better communicate with deaf and hard of hearing volunteers. She is one of those people who makes you feel better about the world when you are done talking with them. Audrey comes of less like a volunteer and more like the host of children’s show. I loved talking to her. Let me know what you think in the comments below. (snip-go see the video!)

Music For Peace

Bee brings a choral arrangement of “Let There Be Peace On Earth.”

=====

I’d been thinking of this song over this past week; today I was pleased to see it on another blog, so this one from the Isley Brothers is my choice. There are other covers, maybe almost equal to this one, which you can see at the page linked “another blog.” Enjoy! It’s smooth.

Music For Peace

Just a short bit with the video for today from Bee. Same from me, below hers.

=====

I choose this one, because the music of it brings me peace. I bet I’m not the only one. It’s a peaceful song.
