Thank you!!

May we share this? I recently moved back to NH. Adding two blue voters was only part of the reason, but this is a wonderful image that I would love to share.

Why we sing — Outside/In We sing along at concerts. We chant at protests. We belt it out at birthday parties. Why do humans sing together?

Fascinating information- and I agree with all of it.

Just discovered this group- luscious singing, and the song is on point: youtu.be/k0xILQ1KcWo?...

Went to the #demonstration in our tiny town. Pretty good turnout for such a small demographic.

Last Thursday vs today.

Hello, you! There are minor issues here as well, but not as dire as Otherwhere. Good to see you here!

I'm finally getting the hang of sourdough. This one's Seeded Multigrain Sourdough Bread by @vanillaandbean.bsky.social Delicious, too!

I love this so much. youtu.be/H2fVjXoYmxM?...

Jesus saying "Some of you are sitting at the tables I sent you to flip."

Yesterday’s shadows, today’s tracks. I love my almost daily walks in the Maine woods.

A black and white photo from the 1950s of a 1-year-old girl holding a stuffed toy cat, sitting on her mother's lap, with her smiling father looking on.

Remembering my dad, Franklin Dalton Aldrich, MD and PhD, almost certainly on the autism spectrum, who was born on this day in 1929. Our relationship was complicated, but I knew that he loved me, and he often told me that there was nothing I couldn't do if I set my mind to i.

I'll be taking a li'l break from social media for a few days. Not giving the algorithms a thing to play with. You might see me on #Ravelry.

I wonder if I should believe that Hugh Jackman is actually following me? Does @bsky.app have a verification system like that other site?

It occurred to me this morning that we are now 1/4 into this century. It still feels like we barely started using "20" as the first two digits for the year.

I really need to spend more time here. I've just about had it with Zuck et alia.

Gratitude- wild winds and rain last night, but we still have electrical power. #winterinmaine

Gratitude: when the plow guy comes and you have time to run out, clear off your car, and move it out of the way so he can clear your parking space, too.

Let sadness come and go like passing clouds in the sky of your consciousness, but make sure to extend a warm invitation to joy as well, allowing both emotions to coexist naturally in your heart, each teaching valuable lessons about the full spectrum of human experience, leading to fulfilment.

It is, indeed! Good to see you here!

Working to be a force of light can be very challenging in dark times. We need to build our real life, in-person communities. Cultivate loving, shining peace warriors by gathering in friend groups, singing in a chorus, playing pickleball- whatever it takes to build a network of caring.

Where are the knitters? There must be some fiber folk here!

Hi, I’m Allison; song leader, traditional dance teacher, progressive Christo-pagan universalist, tree hugger, knitter. Checking out this place, curious to see who and what is here.
