Book cover photo with red Serviceberries and green leaves as well as a yellow and gray cedar waxwing. With title The Serviceberry Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World Robin Wall Kimmerer

A while back I posted about dreaming of possibilities of the future, here’s a great example: Robin Wall Kimmerer’s The Serviceberry. A fantastic read on finding ways to create gift economies. The future is uncertain. Having a dream to fight for keeps me going in these scary times. #resist

Group photo of multiple posterboard protest signs. Green sign with I drunk texted war plans too, pink sign with 0 days since last fuck up, green sign with Dump Trump and Doge, pink sign with Super Callous Fragile Racist Sexist Ableist POTUS, Sign with Statue of Liberty, and Sign with Hands off Constitution, uterus, books, stethoscope, pride flag, forest and national park, and granny with walker.

Making #protestsigns was a great way to experience #creativityasresistance and connecting with incredible people at the same time was #joyisresistance. And for me who wants to support the #protests but is unable to go to actual protests, i was able to support those who can. #resist

Box of colorful yarn skeins with the words, Stitch n Bitch Saturday’s at 2pm Kaffe Mercantile 1221 26th Street

Saturday! 2pm at @kaffemercantile on 26th, it’s time to #stitchnbitch

Completely failed at cooking dinner tonight. I made traditional carbonara, and I made the water to cook the pasta salty like the sea. And then I used said salt water in the sauce, and it made everything way too salty! So lesson learned maybe only mildly salt water is what they mean when they say salty like the sea.

Part of not complying in advance is not letting them control the vision of the future. Dream of the future you want. Fight for the future you want. Believe in the future you want. Share that dream. Bring people together to fight for that dream.

I dream of a future where every child can fulfill their fullest potential and overcome every oppressive obstacle in front of them. An environment where we are stewards and fight to care for the world so that we are sustained by each other going forward. A place where no one is hungry and everyone has a place to live. A world we’re community and mural caring motivates everyone to thrive not just survive. And a world where violence is not the answer.

Don’t comply! Fight for the future you dream of. No matter what the current administration would have you believe, they do not control the future. The future is unknown. So don’t comply, and fight for the future you dream of! #resist #creativityisresistance

Are you a Libby addict like me? The Weber County Library uses the Beehive Library Consortium for their Libby access. Do you know where they get the money to access this Libby Library? From the grants provided by IMLS that was cut. Want to keep your Libby access and protect your library? Contact your politicians and ask them how they are going to protect our libraries!

Ogden peeps, do you love the Weber County Library? Are you addicted to Libby like me? Do you know how Libby is funded? #ogden #library

Another #supportanimal #crochetchicken! Same pattern as last time, but switched to a different color yarn. I think I’m in love with this pattern. It’s so easy and flexible! #learningtocrochet #trynewthings #beabebeginner

Two crocheted black and white grim reapers with scythes.

Look at these adorable #grims I made! Who knew #crochet could be so addicting! It really does help me in these times of unprecedented with my mental health to be making things. #learningtocrochet #beabeginner #trynewwritings #creativityisresistance

Meet Betty! I made a 2nd #crochet #emotionalsupportchicken. This time I figured out how to fix a flaw in the pattern I used, so I’m proud of myself. #learningtocrochet #beabeginner #trynewthings #creativityisresistance

Utah friends, if you are mowing your lawn today, you are killing important pollinators and insects for growing veggies and flowers this spring and summer. You are hurting our native bees. Please don’t mow or clean up your yard until it is consistently 50 degrees at night. If you need an outdoor chore, maybe plant some cold weather crops directly instead

Stop mowing! It’s not warm enough. You are killing #pollinators #protectpollinators #backyardgarden #ogden #utah

I’ve used up all my holds on my Weber County Library Libby account and I’ve got 35+ tagged for future holds when I’ve got space again. But I couldn’t wait and I want access to even more books, so today I got a Salt Lake City Public Library card too ($80 per year for non-resident). My recommendation to you - use your library and make the most out of it!

Fight for the #library! #resist #useyourlibrary #readingisresistance #librarymagic #libby

My new act of joy and my new act of resistance is crocheting #emotionalsupportchickens! #crochet #creativityisanactofresistance

Hey @mcuban.bsky.social there is resistance in Ogden.

Are there any Dems in Utah who can stand up for the good folks in Ogden ? Their town could soon face their own Great Recession

Today, the VA’s ID.me login to MyHealthyVet is not working. The message to call the Crisis Line if in mental crisis is no longer playing when calling the Veterans Center. And when I try to schedule an appointment with the Sleep Medicine Department, I’m transferred to Primary Care. Thanks Trump and Musk for doing such a great job caring for our Veterans.

This is not the fault of the employees at the VA. They are wonderful. This is all the fault of Trump, Musk, and the Muskrats. Thanks for failing our #Veterans.

Urgent act of resistance: go get a library card tomorrow. Do it now. #librarycard #library #resist

The Empty Library - Wikipedia

The Bibliothek memorial in Berlin commemorates Nazi book burning in Berlin. With today’s EO to destroy the Institute of Museums and Library Services, this memorial calls out the fascism of Trump. Let’s fight for our libraries and keep the books on the shelves.

Reminder, don't clean your yards yet. This morning we had magpies finding a delicious meal in our dead plant debris in the front yard.

Poverty is a moral failure, but not of those who are poor. Rather, it is a moral failing of community and society that does not take action to care for the most vulnerable in our communities. It is the moral failure of the wealthy for taking their wealth right off the backs of the poor.

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel. 

They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their fetid hands.

Keep up the fight.

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

Today, I had a wonderful time learning how to make a #butt pot. Can’t wait to see how it turns out! Hopefully it won’t crack! #pottery

America,

This is our Germany 1933 moment.

Decide who the f*ck you're gonna be, what you stand for, what you want your legacy to be—and how you are going to respond.

This is beyond party, beyond country.

This is about our collective humanity.
