Good Afternoon. Thanks for trading a slice of your time to read something I have written, or to look at & evaluate my photos. If you like these photos, please pass them on. I'm always very grateful for that. #photography #Photography #photo #zcreators #nikon @photos.bsky.art #blackandwhite
I moved to a new town in my 50s, got divorced, covid began, etc. Somehow I made a fabulous group of friends. I am so unbelievably lucky!

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

wow
Christians like to forget that they are claiming to follow a MIDDLE EASTERN religion. The Last Supper was NOT a bunch of white guys and pale women.

Why didn’t anyone immediately follow up with “what’s the population of the United States?”
On Tuesday, Kash Patel will testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Needless to say, I have some questions for him.
Ask him why he's posting critically false information about an active investigation from a restaurant.
The 2025 Arctic minimum sea ice extent has probably been reached. The min extent was typical for the past decade but occurred earlier that most recent years. Details in the latest post from the Alaska and Arctic Climate newsletter. #Arctic #SeaIce #Climate alaskaclimate.substack.com/p/arctic-202...
Is she talking to Groypers? Because dems just want her to have good health care.

So proud & honored to share a CCN project that’s been in the works for the past few months: We helped move a single mom + 2 young kids + 2 cats into their brand-new Habitat for Humanity house! 🙏🏠💪😊🫶 1/🧵 #TimelineCleanse #CommunityMatters
"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

That apology was insufficient as an apology. By a long shot. The attitudes behind it mean he should not have a job in media.
This story feels like it’s going to have huge repercussions

I fully support it. Good unions can save our country. Again. Do you think you have a chance of passing it? Do you have a way to keep crime out of the unions? Bad unions are parasites on everybody. History shows both sides of this.
“Right to work” laws are a total scam. They silence American workers and keep them underpaid. The Nationwide Right to Unionize Act would solve this problem, and @repbradsherman.bsky.social and I want to get it done.
Sprout takes a bath 🧽. Ducks wag their tail when they are happy and Sprout may have one of the cutest tails out there. We feed our ducks waterfowl food that floats which is what you see in the water. This is the most natural way for ducks to eat as they need water for digestion.
Since when do we ARREST people for saying things? "Anti-vaxxer" is hardly hate speach.
Fox News host, Brian Kilmeade, calls for the extermination of homeless people. But it’s the liberals that are stoking political violence?! They’re trying to silence the truth-tellers. Don’t let them. Loudly and relentlessly call out their hypocrisy. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.
Vaccines not only save lives, they save money. Paying a hospital bill for what should have been an avoidable illness could bankrupt families and cost the government billions. Vaccines work and are a cost-effective investment.
I see a LOT more murders committed by politically motivated right-wing killers.
"Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better." ~ William Shakespeare
Saying he was a good guy in his personal life and the persona shown to the public was an act…that makes your praise of him *worse*. Do you get that? Dude who is terrible in his public life and kind in his personal life is someone who *chose* to be terrible.
You do not in fact have to praise the guy who said homeless people should be murdered with lethal injections and then apologized four days later to save his job. Let's get a grip here.
No. He doesn't. It was a half-assed apology for a statement so far outside the bounds of decency that he should have been fired on the spot. There is no praise to be had anywhere in this travesty.

Smartest writer at the Atlantic: I think Charlie Kirk is interesting. I also am unaware of anything he’s ever said
Back on the moor and a pause at our local ring cairn yesterday, nicely autumnal #standingstonesunday #trailrunning #yorkshire
Now where have I heard this before? Oh yeah...
always prerty funny when rightwingers claim they are censored or the media is leftwing when the average big rightwing media creator is raking in 80 million annually like with TPUSA and the biggest leftwing creator just has a big patreon or twitch subscription amount lol
"My greatest dream is to one day stand before a canvas&realize that I have nothing left to paint on this subject -the war” An artist from Kharkiv paints the war.On the canvases of Dymytryan Komar,the ruins of North.Saltivka come to life -the district that suffered more than any other from shelling
U.S. DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST Sorry – the killing of Charlie Kirk was wrong, but having his body flown on Air Force 2, flags at half-mast, having him lie in state, putting a statute of him in the Capitol, and giving him a Presidential Medal of Freedom are all entirely inappropriate.
Wild crow has coffee with his rescuer every day
"Not all homeless people deserve involuntary lethal injection" is one hell of an apology.

I've also gotten some messages from people asking me to apologize for my statements and rhetoric about Charlie Kirk because they're insensitive or divisive. They're disappointed in me, they say, because my comments about him are unlike me. So, to those people, here is my complete response: No.
I was going for "girl next door" but I think instead I hit "softball coach". 🤣🤔😬
Let's stop demonizing immigrants when talking about the housing crisis and talk about the real enemy. 11pm on a Saturday night and 1k+ ptys sit empty. 100k properties across the state. It's time for @australianlabor.bsky.social to remove #negativegearing for short term rentals. #auspol

Russians were asked what they thought about Russian drones in #Poland. This is what denial looks like. And, of course, "it's Russia that's attacked."
This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them. This is getting very dark, very quick.

The Epstein files aren't a 'hoax.' And they need to be released. Releasing the files is not about scoring political points or winning elections. It’s about justice.

We’ve secured another court victory protecting funding for libraries, museums, small business development, and more across the country.
This is where we are Once people feel free to say horrific things out loud, without fear or shame, the barriers to enacting such policies are very thin indeed And it spreads And it doesn’t stop with the homeless or mentally ill
👏
Instead of the media’s lazy posthumous takes, I am in favor of Kirk’s actual words being spread far and wide.

This is based on info from 2023. The world is currently having a sociopolitical seizure, and gender is a part of it. I doubt future predictions of gender parity based on data from 2 years ago apply any more. But yeah, gender parity still has a long way to go.

For those who dont follow right wing media, they have January 6th'd the Charlie Kirk murder. They all believe it was transgender or radical leftist etc and refuse to talk about Groypers. It's a cult. Lost. Concentrate on informing and organizing the majority.
what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now

If you have any family members who happen to watch Fox News, ask them if they support the overtly genocidal views of Brian Kilmeade. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Call out Fox News.
Yeah, no. I don't believe reporting from one person at Fox News sourced by Kash Patel's FBI about the shooter's roommate. Nor would I believe it if the BBC, the WSJ, or the Washington Post reported it because they have gotten so much wrong.
That only works if the entire population is well-educated about science and healthcare, vaccines and how they work, and how we know these things. Even the top officials are not well-educated about those topics. Mandate vaccines. And improve education.
Top Florida officials, including the state’s surgeon general, want to banish state vaccine mandates. But medical experts and those at higher risk fear his high-profile rebuke of conventional medicine could lead people to make up their minds before they ever set foot in a doctor’s office or pharmacy.
“I am feeling much better now. Toad,” said Frog. “I do not think I need a story anymore.” “Then you get out of bed and let me get into it,” said Toad, “because now I feel terrible.”
