Hey, friends who have left Meta platforms but are on here:
I posted a big life update. Can't share here because everything is public but briefly scoot on over to my FB or IG if you want to know what interesting thing I have happening! I wish we had a better way to stay connected. 😅

NOAA Cuts Leave Wind Chimes As Sole Predictor Of Approaching Hurricanes SILVER SPRING, MD—As mass firings of career experts and scientists continued to roil the federal government, officials confirmed Friday that cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration...

Our foster bunny, Nyx, is officially posted for adoption! She followed a kind man who was hiking in a state park after being dumped by her former family. We’ve been fostering her through Alabama Rabbit Rescue. Nyx has been spayed and is in perfect health! 🖤 www.petfinder.com/rabbit/nyx-7...

When it seems like the monsters are winning,
give a thought to the bigger picture.

Nature is coming for them.
Time is eating them.
History will give them what they've earned.

*Nature journaling. Remind me to not post when I’m tired. 😉

I'm auditing a class this semester - Zoology and Art. Learning to draw is an interesting process. Bird nests and insects are not easy subjects...

Art journaling is quite therapeutic, though. We should all do more of this.

Nyx will be up for adoption soon! She sure does love her daily bunny salad, but I have learned that collard greens are not among her favorite. #fosterbunny #minihollandlop

Me!

We are not our possessions,
but we are our gardens.
Within and without,
our story is told
through what we nurture.

An illustration of the White House with the text "404 Page Not Found" above and a button that says "Go to Home Page" at the bottom. The background is dark.

I’m writing something about what government around the world should do about ocean-based climate solutions. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy had some reports I wanted to see, but when I visited, they’re just gone. Sad.

If I knew this post would be quoted bigly, I would have been more eloquent.

Try to keep your sanity, friends.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Red and blue on this beautiful morning. So striking in color. I hope their commonness never makes me lose the amazement they deserve.
Then my little spunky favorite shows up behind them. ❤️💙🤎

If you have a coat to donate and live or work near me, I can get it to my mom for her church’s clothing closet.

“First Methodist Church of Hueytown has a clothes closet open 4 days out of each month. We could use some CLEAN winter coats (in GOOD condition)to hand out. Especially large adult sizes.”

“DEI doesn’t lower standards.
It removes barriers.” - Nicole Richardson

Elon sent out another email tonight to federal employees, urging us to resign by February 6. The memo was similar to the one received on Tuesday. As with the previous message, this latest communication fails to address concerns about pensions.

ACLU Alabama confirmed sightings of ICE agents in Alabama. If ICE agents show up at your workplace or home, remember: you have rights. Stay informed, stay calm and stand strong. Share this post to help your community know their rights too.

Found some people! Y’all are awesome! ☺️
