Felted mushroom, wool

Felted mushroom—wool! I love working with this material. #wool #felting #art

Mr. Roger’s was right yesterday, today and far into the future

Children brought up in homes full of banned books and where science is real are necessary for building a better world.

The struggle is real!

“…go out into reality and do.

Have the child. Practice the religion. Found the school. Support the local theater, the museum, the opera or concert hall... Pick up the paintbrush, the ball, the instrument. … Sit with the child, open the book, and read.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/o...

Love this.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

This! It IS a storytelling problem.

Republicans create a story that’s easy to understand, full of villains and heroes. They have action! Anticipation! Scandal! Their “beats” are clear.

#Democrats are over-thinking. They spend too much time on backstory.

I am pro thinking. But I see the point.

To win America, Democrats must win the story The Trump-Musk blitzkrieg war on government is not about waste; it's about oligarchy and autocracy.

Who can tell a more compelling story about the US government—Trump/Musk or Dems & citizens who care about democracy, decency & preventing oligarchic rule & autocracy? Whoever does will decide the future of America. Right now, the Ds are losing big. I explain:

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler
