Today I want to spread the word about SERRV, which is a fair-trade not-for-profit selling handcrafted items from artisans in some of the world's poorest communities. I adore what they do and sell, and I'm angry that the policies of our government are making that good work so difficult to sustain. 1/

Greetings from the garden
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

A photo of a coyote resting on a hilltop in the early morning. Distant hills in the background and soft wild grasses in the foreground create a dreamy atmosphere.
For this coyote photo, I wanted a soft, dreamy mood, so I got down low to get some of the wild grass in the foreground.

Bluebells in the village woods this evening.
there is such a magic to sitting on a tiny island in the boundary waters, seeing more stars than you could have imagined were up there, hearing the loons
i hope we do not rob future generations of experiencing it

Three purple flowers, drooping over to the left, with feathery tufts of leaves where their 'necks' join the main stem. The flowers have five long pointed petals each and central cluster of yellow stamens just visible within.

Loved this piece about Iranian-American artists making beauty in the face of war. www.minnpost.com/artscape/202...
Incredibly beautiful!
WE WILL NOT GIVE UP.
Rock window has white harder rock on top of orange rock. The view through the window peers down on the trail and canyon landscape.
Near the end of Fairyland Loop Trail yesterday, a window in the rock on the rim yielded a view of where we had hiked earlier in the canyon below.

I think we have filled all the gaps ☺️
Good morning, beloved.
We cannot change the world without changing our minds.
The capacity for transformation begins with an expanded capacity for imagination.
Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.
Love Eccentric Islands! Have you read The Music of Failure?
"The Senate vote is a big blow to conservation groups and others who argue the watershed of the Boundary Waters — a fragile and unique ecosystem and one of the most popular wilderness areas in the country — is the absolute wrong place for this kind of mining" www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
There will be two emergency boundary waters distress sirens throughout Minnesota today at 1:45 and 6:45
THE HOUSE JUST VOTED TO EXTENDED TPS FOR HAITI!!! Thank you, Rep. Ayanna Pressley for your leadership on this. Proud to help co-lead this effort for our Haitian brothers, sisters, and siblings. What a day.
Bonus 🚨🚨#Awooo 🚨🚨 Those sirens you hear is the #BWCA crying after the US #Senate voted today destroy them removing ban on copper sulfide mining in violation of treaties #AllMinesLeak. #Minneapolis #StPaul #Minnesota #MSPFeed
Yes, me too. We all should be. It’s terrible, and stupid.
📌Pope Leo XIV TODAY:
“The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants. Blessed are the peacemakers, but woe to those who manipulate religion and the name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”
He is NOT backing down.
I want to encourage everyone to keep 2 things in mind: 1) Leo is absolutely talking about America here and 2) Leo is not talking ONLY about America here. Lots of fighting and oppression going on in God's name; lots of opprobrium to go around.
