I need to be more diligent about posting photos here. This is from Upper Antelope Slot Canyon, where I visited last month

I will add that the event was well attended and I saw support for Ukraine along with many other pro-Democracy signs.

When I saw the news about the cut-off of military aid I was stunned. When people are not strangers to each other (as we have Bluesky as community) we feel this insult to Ukraine deeply. Tonight I am going to a pro-Democracy vigil and I will be thinking of all my Ukrainian friends

Words cannot express how angry I am at the way President Zelenskyy was treated by Trump (there was only one true President in that room).

I am proud that Ukraine can stand tall and show the world how a true leader acts. I wouldn't be surprised if none of our "allies" trust this country again.

This is a wonderful thread and accurate. We work in the Federal Government because we love our country. Me personally I love helping taxpayers navigate our system. Is it perfect, no, but burning it all down will kill people.

If you’re a federal employee, you should know this is a lie. Congress hasn’t appropriated these monies and so it’s literally not there to be spent. Also, federal agencies are limited by law to a max $25K payout in the case of restructuring.

The only piece I have is the medium Kitchen Witch cannister that I use as my cookie jar. It gets used a lot

I am so sorry. You have a kitty-shaped hole in your heart :-(

It is nice to still see some random flower when I am out walking. This morning it was this Henbit Deadnettle.

Wandering around on campus the other day, I cut through the Education Building and saw this sign. At least for a while, we were going in the right direction

I decided I needed to put at least something on my feed, so a gingko tree on campus seemed a good choice.
