Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end.

I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

It's like Chuck Schumer wakes up every day by asking "what can I do to make young people despise my party even more?"

We are being ruled by absolute losers

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

If ONE MORE person, making it three people, say my artwork and research is “cutting edge”…my ego is going to explode

Thanks @hahughes.bsky.social for your apt reflection on Facebook this past weekend and bringing this article to my attention

I SLAM the unsubscribe button the minute someone uses AI to write their substack posts. Like wtf is wrong with people, we are so consumed with AI slop and AI generated writing fucking everywhere on the internet you think people want more of that?!?!

gtfo with that trash.

I don’t know, I just don’t think we should be making decisions with geopolitical implications that could result in millions of deaths and catastrophic damage based on a passage in Genesis.

The Next ‘Big Idea’ in Ecological Landscapes: Abundance

I love Sesame Street. 😊

If you don’t plant cover crops, and if you leave your soil (soul) bare for half the year, I don’t take you seriously when you say you love the land.

Something I have realized in the last week:
Vets really, really appreciate when you can haul in and they don’t need to come for a farm call.

Please love me. I will bring the animals to you. Let me be your best client.

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Animals aren’t machines. They also have to practice to master skills, just like us. They mess up, just like us. They get frustrated, just like us.

They. Aren’t. Machines.

There is no one more self critical than a daughter from a blended family who is simultaneously the oldest and a middle child.

Really grateful for Harvard standing up for all of us.

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Just landed in El Salvador to discuss release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

if the united states ever has even a hope of recovering we have to destroy the idea of american individualism. "they don't owe you anything" we owe each other everything actually

As civilisation decays and ecosystems wither, #Permaculture is an act of defiance. Tending soil won’t halt the unravelling, yet we design and plant for life, resilience, and whatever comes next.

When everything else fails, the act of caring for life in the dirt still matters. #overshoot #collapse

I am ashamed of the University of Michigan, my alma mater. Way to roll over.

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

“The Ridgeback was used in big game hunting because they were able to keep a lion at bay for the hunter and not be eaten by the lion.”

Hm.

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago.

In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror."

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

We have great meteorologists in Central Illinois. I ❤️ Chris Yates and his entire team

Best dogs

Is that a ridgeback??!
