Unfortunately
History is repeating itself

This is the second year this mama has built a nest on our string of lights. We call her Tulip. #spring #hummingbirdsrock

Hummingbird building a nest on a string of outdoor lights.

For the second year, Tulip, the hummingbird, is building a nest on our string of porch lights. We are so lucky to get to watch this again. Same lightbulb as last year. #welivewithnature #humingbirdhabitat

CBS reporter Scott Pelley:

This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”.

So great to meet you in person there!😁

Created this digital mixed media piece last night. I painted over a digital collage with some of the Procreate paint brushes. #blueskyart #digitalart

Beautiful! Love the colors.

Fair enough but the media continuing to harp on Biden while normalizing Trump does nothing for what’s happening now.

Forgot the question mark, but still, why?

Why are we continuing to talk about Biden when, regardless of his age or whatever perceived decline he was in, he left us in a far better place than where we are now. We should be focusing on Trump’s decline.

It does feel like respite looking at it as well. Beautiful!

I enjoyed teaching a workshop at the Writing Heights Spring Retreat in Allen’s Park and am inspired by the beauty up here, so I am staying for the evening to write a bit and commune with like-minded creatives because community and creating are what I need right now. #writinginthemountains

I love the use of light. The image glows.

Some art journal play. Want to do more. Getting back to art after poetry month, writing a poem a day. #blueskyart #artjournal

Congrats Mark Carney!

Opinion | New estimates indicate that Elon Musk's DOGE might not achieve any savings The way Musk has gone about his efficiency initiative has incurred tremendous costs.

Elon Musk’s promised savings from his DOGE operation has shrunk from $2 trillion to what he now claims is $150 billion, or just 7.5% of the amount initially promised. Now, new estimates suggest his cost-cutting crusade might actually end up costing MORE than what he claims to have saved taxpayers.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Good morning, everyone!

Headline: ICE came for their neighbor so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

BRING HIM HOME!

Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador.

SMART General President…

I make these ornaments with my little dog illustration and put them on my Etsy site and in whatever little market pop-up I do. Dogs and birds make me happy.😁

Had a full day of activism. We volunteer for Rocky Mountain Equality, an organization doing important work for the LGBTQ+ community in the State of Colorado. We volunteered for two events for them in Saturday and met Keynote Harper Steele. What a trailblazer! I also got to the protests in town.
