A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Goodnight, beautiful friends.
I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Good morning ☀️
Watching Project 2025 unfold enrages us.
SCREAM! Let out the anger, frustration, fear, sadness.
BREATHE! Inhale courage, unity, grit, heart.
We’re the ones who’ll prevent the tears of our Sisters—present and future.
Pay it forward…

Mushrooms on a pinecone.
From early Spring. I took this when I was legally blind - kiddo pointed it out and brought the host pinecone up to my face so I could get the right angle. Hoping to be able to mushroom hunt properly and my own eye by next Spring!
Words we need to hear.
I’m more than a little jealous.
Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.
Beautiful!

I’m a bit of an audiobook fiend and I’m always looking for my next book. On occasion I’ll just pick a book that’s available without looking at any summary or reviews- hit or miss. This one was not something I’d have picked, but I really enjoyed it.
What are your favorites?
