Clement, church father, explains existence of hunger. God promised hellfire to those who don’t feed the hungry. Our being in need makes it possible to see needs in others.

It might take some spiritual discipline, not to have your own need make you want to hold on more tightly to what you have.

Do you set your mind a-whirring with calculations when being asked to give, or worse, when observing a need?

CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA (150 - 215) "Exhortation to the Greeks" "How could we feed the hungry and give drink to the thirsty, cover the naked and entertain the homeless, with regard to which deeds He threatens fire and the outer darkness to those who have not done them, if each of us were himself already in want of all these things ?"

Good morning. ⛅🌤️🌞

9 February 2025

For the past four days, a yard crew has been working on raking leaves, picking up fallen limbs, and collecting pinecones. Initially, a husband-and-wife team arrived without tools, borrowed a rake, and made limited progress. On the second day, more people came but had to leave due to a family emergency. The following two days saw better progress with the boss's wife leading the effort. Despite the initial instruction to move leaves to the edge of the property for easy mowing, the crew bagged the leaves instead. However, they lacked transportation to remove the approximately 20 bags of leaves. The husband/boss, who is working offshore until next week, will provide his truck to remove the debris upon his return.

“The true measure of a society’s greatness is how it treats its most vulnerable members and how it works towards fulfilling their basic needs.” – Mahatma Gandhi

The image shows a stunning sunset over a vast body of water. The sun is partially obscured by dark clouds, creating a dramatic effect with rays of sunlight streaming through the gaps in the clouds. The sky is painted in shades of yellow and orange, reflecting beautifully on the rippling surface of the water below. The horizon is visible in the distance, separating the sky from the sea. The overall scene is serene and captivating, highlighting the natural beauty of a sunset over the ocean. There is no math or homework problem present in the image.

#DEIA isn't just about hiring ethnic minorities.
It's also about #LGBTQ and fostering a welcoming, supportive, and professional environment for all employees.
It's about embracing the unique talents and qualities that #ActuallyAutistic and other #NeuroDiversity employees bring to the Company.
It's about being accommodating to that #cisgendered female employee that's #pregnant and needs to take some time off for doctor appointments.
It's about being supportive and accommodating for the #employee who's just been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and #needs #chemo therapy.
Simply put, #DEIA is about being a decent human being.
Companies that are ending their #DEIA programs are not run or managed by decent human beings.
Please #boycott any Company that has cancelled their #DEIA programs.

Is it possible to create a custom "return" function in #RStats? My usecase would be to create something like `return_if_exists(file) ` that is a wrapper for `if (file.exists(file)) return(file)`.

EDIT: Found solution: stackoverflow.com/questions/42

```
return_if_exists <- function(file) {
if (!file.exists(file)) {
return(invisible(FALSE))
}

call <- rlang::expr(return(!!file)) #needs library(rlang)
rlang::eval_bare(call, env = parent.frame())
}
```

Kids don't ask to be born.
Not every parent asked to become a parent; not every parent retrospectively wanted children.
Not every parent who claims to love and respect their progeny acts in line with that assertion.

It's okay to not want kids. It's okay to not be physically and emotionally comfortable around kids.
It's okay to feel irritated with how some parents make being a parent their whole personality, or describe it as a sacrifice (it is in many ways), or act as if they should be rewarded for doing so.

If you are a parent (by choice, I hope, for everyone's sake), then you are entitled to ALL support you need to sustainably raise a whole-ass human from scratch or from adoption or otherwise.
Caretaking is an art, a science, an act of selfless love, and an ideal of connection with other living beings.
Not everyone is or should feel compelled to perform caring tasks for others.
There is nothing wrong with saying "no".

“SEND system in England falling apart at the seams – thanks to the Tories”

by Steve Topple in The Canary @thecanaryuk
@UKLabour

“As BBC News reported:

In a highly critical report, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) found a Send system ‘in disarray’, ‘mired in red tape, lacking funding, and failing to produce value for money’.”

Thank you to the MANY people that donated to help me get new glasses. :blobhaj_hearttrans:

Also, thank you to those that suggested sites to help me find an affordable, quality pair.

I was able to get not one but TWO pairs of glasses due to the BOGO+ 20% off lenses on FIRMOO. Total was $111 USD for the glasses, the appointment was roughly $40 USD.

Next is to try and go to the dentist!
