The Wetland Project has been my favorite alternate-reality radio experience since it began. Since it only happens once a year, you can’t become accustomed to it. Close your eyes and be washed over by the sonic reality of an isolated bog on Saturna Island!

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?
We need your help please. Please share.

Quotes on war by Americans:
General W.T. Sherman: "War is Hell."
Mark Twain: "God created war so that Americans would learn geography."
DJT: "we may hit it a few more times just for fun." and
..."maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all, because we don’t need it. We have a lot of oil.”

To think MAGA was out here clutching pearls over whether someone might buy candy, cookies, or soda with food assistance, while so many bigger issues go untouched.
early morning sky with mottled clouds, all touched with deep golden light. The sun is still below the eastern hillside.
The sky this morning, where no bombs are dropping, no oil burning.
from Gerard Manley Hopkins' Pied Beauty:
"Glory be to God for dappled things –
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;"
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime

Trump assumed a war would be helpful. It would justify emergency powers. It would deflect from his failures. It would make him seem larger.
But it is making him smaller, more hostage to what’s occurring than leader, more Netanyahu’s patsy than partner, another president sucked into a forever war.

Ossoff: "There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position. Every day there is a new outrage. It's easy I know to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is it's up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us."
