A large blackboard with white chalk art of the Langdale pikes beautifully rendered, with some of the pikes labeled, including: Pike O’ Stickle at 709 m Loft Craig at 682 m Harrison Stickle at 736 m Stickle Taryn at 643 m Pavey Ark at 700 m There is a sketch of picker pointer, pointing up to the Lyndale Pike, and a sketch of the stickle barn itself. There are links to the Facebook page and the Instagram account and a lovely little, pretty sheep, staring at the viewer. In the upper right hand corner is the quote: “Before modern times there was walking, but not the perfect perfection of walking, because there was no tea.” Attributed to GM Trevelyan

A nice bit of artwork that resembles chalk on a blackboard. Zoom in on the quote in the upper right.

White-throated dipper working on a nest. We watched them gather moss and other detritus, slosh it around in the water, and then fly back to their nest and pack it in.

As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

So is hope; it persists.
Here’s to overcoming…

When you learned about the Iran hostage crisis, did they teach you this part?

In November 1979, during the crisis, Black hostages and women were released first.

Ruhollah Khomeini said they were oppressed in the United States and not part of the power structure, so they weren’t seen as spies.

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

Nixon signed the clean water act.

“Cognitive dissonance”
We try so hard to make things that don’t fit, fit anyway.
But if we love truth, we do change our minds, hearts, and behaviors.

And finally, with a laugh, “ that’s what you’ve got?!”
Bwah-ha-ha!

Sound on! You do not want to miss this. Listen to the whole thing. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks; and I loved that closing line, “that’s what you’ve got??!!!”
Bwah-ha-ha!

“I’m the consumer. I paid higher prices because of Trump’s tariffs. Do I get a refund?”

“No.”

Heads they win, tails we lose.

“Here come the kings—
Let’s dispense with their apologizing;
Just bring on the acrobats and clowns.”

I’m always trying to get enough vegetables in my diet.

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

Bwah-ha-ha!
Why am I not surprised!

Well, clearly alarms must be set.

Nice artwork, Pinky! And the article has me pondering jet lag and the connection to glucose metabolism…

You think, as a good Quaker, I would know how to spell Swarthmoor the proper way.

(I guess I have too many friends who attended Swarthmore college in Philadelphia).

Good pics, Evan! I’m still hoping to connect at Swarthmore in a few weeks. Safe travels!

Ummm… how OLD is this clip? Schumer looks much younger here.

I’d be curious to hear him now after his beloved country has become as vindictive as the others.

PROJECT 2027:

Reduce the debt by taxing billionaires & ending nuclear weapons program

Raise minimum wage but especially pay K-12 teachers more than athletes & coaches

Medicare for all

Stop investing in AI and put all that towards mRNA research

Solar panels over every roof and parking lot.

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.

Good luck!!!
😬

Thank you!
