Photograph of a black bird with red and yellow spot on its wing, viewed from the side facing right, perched on a twig, the bird's beak is open in mid song and out of its mouth swirls of golden mist emerge in the cold air

Photographer Kathrin Swoboda captured amazing images of a red wing blackbird's song, visible via the bird's breath in cold air and early light #WomensArt

The TEP logo is at the bottom. The text says, "Discriminatory Bill Alert  Dangerous anti-trans bill  SB468  As introduced, enacts the Women's Safety and Protection Act.  What it really does is put trans people in danger in shelters, restrooms, dormitories, and correctional facilities by prohibiting them from being in spaces aligned with their gender identity."

Practices for the Wilderness I am reminding myself of the practices that we'll need to survive (and even thrive?) in the wilderness we have entered.

What are the practices you are using today to keep you grounded? Keep breathing and remember: You are beloved. And you are not alone.

The Long View When I feel despair aboutThe way things areOr hopeless aboutWhat is to come.When I feel lost,No longer sure of the pathsI am to follow.When I have worn myself outIn anger or in worry.I catch a glimpse...

The long view ....

For Those Who Are Afraid For those who are afraid ... to leave their homes, to send their children to school, to read the news for fear of what they will find.
