Beautiful questions for us all at an upcoming nourishing gathering.

Close-up photo of a cherry blossom tree with five or six blossoms in the foreground, full and thick and deep pink with vivid green leaves behind them as well as a bright green tree behind the cherry tree, adding background color and a blue sky with wispy white clouds.

Wave after wave of pink blossoms and every one an absolute delight 🌸✨.

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.

Never doubt your power to change the system.

There’s something so wonderful about it all happening in person and I’m glad to even know about it from Portland. Sending goodness ✨☺️

Oh thank you, the dark laughter feels like the only way through.

Also, keep thinking how the cover up lie is ridiculous and unhelpful – pretending he was a doctor (while waging war and yelling at the pope ) is another ladder rung of deranged.

So much wisdom always from @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social ❤️‍🔥 I resonate, this feels like one of her most insightful, clear-eyed and wide angle pieces of the past year —and that is saying a lot!

There’s definitely some things to dig in here, but I still think it’s strange data blocking —That’s wild to go from 5 - 7 year increments to one 20 year increment. I definitely would like to see that 20 year strata broken into five year slots.

Protect.

That’s wild and strange data sorting to go from 5 - 7 year increments to one 20 year increment. I definitely would like to see that 20 year strata broken into five year slots!

Ohh wish I could make it up for this, will there be a live stream ticket option?

A picture of the four Artemis II astronauts hugging in space… with the quote “"The purpose of humanity is joy and lifting one another up, creating together versus destroying." By ARTEMIS II ASTRONAUT JEREMY HANSEN

Oh these emotive connected humans reminding us of all the best of us… And these wonderful words from beloved Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen.

A photograph from Artemis II around the edge of the moon with earth as a crescent. Over top of the photograph the words “earth was just this life boat hanging undisturbed in the universe” by Christine Koch

This feels like a meditation and an expanse of joy that shows us who we are and all we can be.

This is such a deep, incredible celebration, so many people have worked and dreamed and persevere to get here and it’s such good fuel for all of us who are needing to see what’s possible!

Can’t stop reading the Artemis II wonderful tender, brave, loving humans’ words…

So, if you're not sure what to do, but you're not willing to give up, if you're still thinking and trying—if you're willing to take a stranger by the hand, to try to make some hope—just know I'm here with you. I think a lot of us are, even if it feels lonely where you are right now.

Thank you, Meade— I’ve never seen a distress soothing list that ended so well ❤️‍🔥👏🏼

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Every Senator should be saying this, grateful for my Oregon voices @jeff-merkley.bsky.social and @wyden.senate.gov

A blue graphic from five calls organization with the words of a script for calling a representative: “Hi, my name is [NAME] and I'm a constituent from [CITY, ZIP]. I'm calling to express my deep concern about Trump's genocidal threat to obliterate Iran. I ask that [REP/SEN NAME] return from recess and use every tool possible to stop Trump from committing war crimes and unilaterally launching us into a nuclear war. I also ask that [REP/SEN NAME] move to impeach Trump for repeatedly defying the law and endangering the American people. Thank you for your time and consideration. IF LEAVING VOICEMAIL: Please leave your full street address to ensure your call is tallied.”

Speak up with everything you can for the precious people of Iran and this earth. Here’s some words to use —-and info at link for your numbers to call.

You will never regret speaking out against this—- in fact, make sure you say it everywhere. Flood our representatives offices with our cries, we will not stand for this.
Be life fighting to protect life.

The news covers the destruction. Nobody covers the building. Right now someone is saving seeds, organizing a food bank, printing a reef, restoring soil, defending a river. Millions of quiet acts that never become a headline. The planet is regenerating. It does it below the threshold of attention.

Ahh yes, Joanna, Thich, and mycorrhizal networks are all such favorite portals of mine too into the living interconnected being-ness we are so intricately part of… beautiful to have these different ways in and feel the pattern touched by more and more beings…

April’s ways

A large puppet made out of orange and red fabric, creating a red bird with wings and beak moved by poles held by three women. Photographed against green trees and a blue sky.

Still so captivated by the playful power and potent symbolism of what felt like a phoenix bird leading the way at Berkeley CA #NoKings Saturday 🐦‍🔥❤️‍🔥✨

Totally, so grateful for musicians and artists, adding so much color, joy, and felt connection ❤️‍🔥🙌☺️

A graphic of the cover of a light blue book titled “Climate Wayfinding” with the subtitle “healing ourselves and the planet we call home by Katharine Wilkinson”. To the left of the book cover, there’s a small photo of Katharine, a white woman with short brown hair and a latte colored sweater and peaceful purposeful expression on her face.

So looking forward to this wonderful Climate Wayfinding book and tour with @kkwilkinson.bsky.social this spring.

May 16th in Portland @powells.bsky.social!
