The Pope is from Chicago and the antithesis to much of white Christian conservative gospel is
Black influenced / Liberation theology .
The history of American resistance for most of America has been anti racism/ sexism led by Black theology
They’re saying the pope sounds Black
Abusive systems are built not on the powerful but on the scapegoats,
And right now everyone is trying to go back and position themselves as the “victims” not the losers
So they don’t have to admit
There weren’t losers
Just warnings they did not heed
And for a lot of that time that was me

Here's another image from my walk through the woods a week ago to photograph new green. I tried the Orton Effect in #Lightroom attempting to get that dreamy glowing look. Not sure if I achieved it but I'll be trying it again. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #OrtonEffect #spring
Imma say this one more time
Purposely trying to remove another’s agency is malice
Purposely trying to “control the narrative” about others is manipulative
Doing it at scale is premeditated
And yes “everyone does it”
THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE
PHOTO by James Wheeler. A vivid sunset ignites the sky with streaks of lavender, coral, and gold, casting their hues across a blanket of scattered clouds. Below, a perfectly still lake mirrors the dramatic canvas above, creating a seamless reflection of color and light. A narrow strip of land with silhouetted trees and distant mountains separates sky from water, anchoring the surreal scene in quiet solitude.
Sometimes, what matters most is not the light or the dark, but the in-between moment.
Ok … this appears to be a super helpful direction change?
It's migration season! Monarch butterflies travel over 4,000 km to winter in Mexico's stunning oyamel forests. Witness the beauty of nature's incredible journey.
A starfield filled with thousands of stars and shining clouds of dust. The Milky Way\u2019s elegant spiral structure is dominated by just two arms wrapping off the ends of a central bar of stars. Spanning more than 100,000 light-years, Earth is located along one of the galaxy\u2019s spiral arms, about halfway from the center. Credit: NASA
OH. MY. GOD.
THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!
Today is #ForestFriday, one of my favorite themes. I've posted similar images of this scene. We stood in knee deep water and made long exposures in this flooded oak hammock in early morning light. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #longexposure #nature #trees #artphotography #oaktrees
So much to answer for …
Canadian Geese are assholes sometimes.
Hubby comes from Liverpool, and when he took one of our older kids to the park, he gave him some bread to give the geese. One of them chased the wee fella all the way of the up hill, making a terrible racket.
Don’t mess with a Canadian Goose.
Ever.
This is beautiful.
Trump knows if there is a heaven, he won’t be going. He has said it openly. He seems to have accepted that he was put on this earth to wreak havoc.
A lot of really scary people see themselves as equalizing on the earth. You have the Saints and you have the Devils … and they accept their role.
I actually the the little spark of joy …
And reminder if Birthright goes .. they WILL go for Tribal Sovereignty
Work is picking up after the health crisis of last year. Trying to stay politically current, and have a general sense of what is happening in my country/community.
But ALSO, the composting worms I bought at the local market, have survived and are making a home in my cupboard.
This was a beautiful eulogy.
I am glad you were given such a deep legacy from your Father.
We have had a long winter out here.
Birds are coming back out, and water is flowing.
We don’t plant until the May long weekend, because there could still be frost at night … but anything in the +C, is warm right now.
I think I heard a robin, and Canadian Geese are landing in the river.
Educated and rich are not synonymous ;) .
Absolutely INSANE twilight aurora just now from my driveway in North Pole, Alaska. Incredible motion and color, one of the best of the season. Watch until the end, wow!
Before the rallies. Before the White House. Before the lies became policy — there were decades of smaller lies.
Who IS Donald Trump, really? Where did the corruption start?
I went back to the beginning. The results are alarming.

Many people consider the things government does for them to be social progress but they regard the things government does for others as socialism. -Earl Warren, Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court (19 Mar 1891-1974)
Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
Today, debris from a Russian drone was found under the monument on the Square of Independence.
Russians tried to destroy the place where two revolutions started, as Ukrainians gathered to fight for their freedom.
India has a once-in-a-century opportunity to become a global energy superpower.
Not because of oil or gas.
Because of solar, wind, storage, and hydrogen.
A $1T India New Energy Transition Fund could turn energy imports into energy exports. 🧵

Will anyone stand up to Ford? My airport column makes a rare appearance on the front page of the Toronto Star today. Local democracy steamrolled. Backroom decisions. Liberals acquiescing. Feckless & weak establishment carrying his water. Fait accompli? Read here:

Take our "4/5" single-stair prototype building

Hold on here folks.
Sweden has taken a 5-3 lead on Canada after stealing three in the 7th end.
We’re now in the final end. Canada has hammer and something brewing. Great finish coming up at the Paralympics.
Attachment issues. I mean Donald Trump has major attachment issues.
Don’t think Jesus did … ;)
