‘We have nothing now’: Myanmar’s exiled media face existential crisis after Trump severs aid

Yes!

It’s the Western Willet!

Of course this isn’t going to magically change everything. Everyone knows that. The bishop knows that. But she asked herself: What is it I can do in this moment? And then took a stand - demonstrating to the nation that this is indeed a choice we can make, whatever form that may take individually.

I watched this a few days ago. It is fascinating (and promising)!

A photo of a reddish orange and yellow wasp from the front. it's head is roundly triangular, with yellow antennae pointing towards the camera, the large oval eyes on the side of the head are red dappled with black, the powerful mandibles and center of the face are yellow. The thorax which rises behind the head is red with thin yellow stripes, from it rise the two wings which are viewed edge on, held at an acute angle. The wasp rests on one of the filled chambers of it's nest which is gray green

March also brought what is one of my top 10 #Macros of the year, this fantastic shot of a Mexican Paper Wasp, Mischocyttarus mexicanus, on it's nest.

Many thanks to readers for pointing me to this. It confirms that the four accounts I blocked over the last two days were all disbots—disagreement bots—programmed to stiffly, politely, but somewhat unreasonably disagree with benign assertions. A foreign op is possible, yes, but also a commercial one.

We woke up to overnight snow this morning. It was a dusting but beautiful and I stood outside looking at it and not thinking about anything else.

Mind blowing.

I went to my local bookstore today and bought two books. While I was there I thought of all of you.

Everything and nothing. 😉
