The irony of DOGE firing people at DOE who ACTUALLY work on efficiency.....🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

A plump, glossy bud of sweetgum, with brown and green bud scales enclosing flowers, leaves, and stems, above a small lateral bud containing leaves and stems. Copyright Tom Kimmerer

Don’t be glum about the long, cold winter. Look around: the trees are busy, not sleeping. When the temperature permits, cells in this bud are dividing, maturing into flowers, leaves, stems. The cambium, maker of all the trees, is preparing for its spring festivities. Be like a tree: keep growing.

Man: Here is your award for being the whiniest little s***. Child: I don't want it!! I don't want to be the whiniest little s***!! The man, overwhelmed, holds up another trophy in addition to the first trophy

IF ADAM PICKED THE APPLE There would be a parade, a celebration, a holiday to commemorate the day he sought enlightenment. We would not speak of temptation by the devil, rather, we would laud Adam's curiosity, his desire for adventure and knowing. We would feast on apple-inspired fare: tortes, chutneys, pancakes, pies. There would be plays and songs reenacting his courage. But it was Eve who grew bored, weary of her captivity in Eden. And a woman's desire for freedom is rarely a cause for celebration.

This is a great poem by Danielle Coffyn.
