Hello Bluesky friends. I’m back in an effort to escape the algorithm and find a bit of humanity. I’m feeling the weight of the world as we bear witness to our neighbors being terrorized by #meltICE. As I take all the steps I can to act in resistance, I resolve to find strength in joyful moments.

Live Updates: María Corina Machado of Venezuela Is Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

Yesterday, I harvested flowers from my garden. The lavender smells intoxicating, soft armor against the noise. Choosing joy. 🌿💜

I’m in the same boat!!! I have taken all of my plants outside to let the soil dry out a bit more, and I am preparing to repot every single one with fresh soil! I’ve gotten to that point 😆

Mic 🎤 drop! This is what leadership, restorative justice, reconciliation, and dignity sounds like! I think I might convert. Thank you @popeleoxiv.bsky.social for these much needed words! youtu.be/navBX2A37ls?...

Enjoying spring by bringing the outdoors in. I harvested these beautiful flowers from our yard, and repurposed the vase my husband gave me for my birthday. I’m not a florist, but I think the arrangement turned out alright. #happyspring

Welp, it looks like one business listened to me! 😅 #showtheDELTA #tariffs #AmazonwillCave

I’ve never seen an aloe blossom indoors before. I’m feeling like this is a good omen. #gardener #aloe

I wish all US businesses would list the delta of the price increase that directly resulted from the implementation of tariffs. This will help educate consumers on how tariffs actually work and how such policies show how the cost is passed on to consumers. #tariffs #showtheDELTA #smallbusinesses

Is there any specific and reliable data that measures the effect of the #EconomicBlackout that was held this Friday? @epi.org

I miss honest.

Wow, what a great pic.

I feel seen. I turned to the garden scroll for some reprieve from the doom scroll 🤦🏻‍♀️😅 Thanks sharing some light while also keeping it real. 😉

Is there a list of the countries ranking? I’d like to see that

Why do they cover their faces?🧐

So sweet! What do you feed her?

This is a Master Class in what civil discourse in today’s society should sound like. Notice how @willwestmoreland humanizes and respects a young farmer and Trump Voter. I wish our media sounded more like this. #civildiscourse #empathy youtu.be/uLgJLGCa-vo?...

Hello Blue Sky community. I have shifted away from the other socials and joining this space. Saludos and Aloha!
