Anne-what do you think about adding some resources on understanding differences in how people take in information and make decisions eg guides to the Myers-Briggs personality types or the Enneagram? For me, these have been so helpful in accepting that differences can be appreciated not derided.

It’s pretty amazing because you couldn’t really replicate this if you tried!

I thought so but have seen so few of them myself. The ones I’ve seen seem much lighter. Going to look them up now! Thank you.

Hey teacher Tom, what owl is this? Asking for ID. It’s a great photo and find.

Local food justice organizations are more important than ever! Rooted is a great one to support

🚨🚨ALERT🚨🚨: If you want Democrats to hold the line on Musk's illegal funding/firing spree, **RIGHT NOW** is time to make your voice heard. This update below is about just that. Not clear how hard a line they're taking. GOPS are abt to shutdown the govt. Their leadership wants Dem help outmaneuver...

Squirrel peering in window balancing on a repurposed pipe and laughing at home owner who though it was a squirrel proof bird feeder. Snow in background. Squirrel looks well fed.

On the other hand, this guy is balancing on top of pipe repurposed as yard art scooping up food from a β€œsquirrel-proof” bird feeder.

Thank you! I had to leave after just one day because my husband had a medical emergency plus a diagnosis of Covid and influenza. But in that day, I got to see many Green Jays, a Sprague’s Pipit, Plain Chachalaca and a Green Parakeet, all life birds, plus Great Kiskadee. I’ll be back!

My UU church had a service of inclusion for nonbinary gendered and transfolk. Gotta love UU’s. It was moving, grounding and challenging, just what church should be.

Yes, and I’d bet that almost all of them have someone they know who is affected by the cuts and biased actions-like a nephew who works as a scientist on a NSF grant, neighbor whose grandchild is trans, college aged son who is a probationary employees or park ranger, military spouse who got fired.

Thanks, they are always a much welcomed harbinger of spring here. We see them only in migration. Last year, my first was March 31, earliest ever.

What’s the location? We had two rare-for-the-season ones on our Christmas Count in central Wisconsin.

Also had a hard time getting anyone else to read it, so pardon the gushing.

I had a hard time putting it down. Really remarkable writing, I thought, and a great way to learn that history. Also role of women-ugh.

Are you reading A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel? What a great book about the French Revolution. Tyranny begets tyranny.

My grandchildren leaped from cushion to cushion to avoid pretend hot lava so at least little kids know.

I’m in Wisconsin donating monthly to this race. We’ve only had a liberal majority on our Supreme Court for the past year. Help us keep it and send a message of resistance to the country.

Plus they accept DACE in other word puzzles in their games. What’s up with that?
