Picture of a book which reads, “BRAIDING SWEETGRASS INDIGENOUS WISDOM, SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE, and the TEACHINGS of PLANTS by ROBIN WALL KIMMERER

One of my November reads for National Native American Heritage Month.
I welcome similar book suggestions.

Pictured is the cover of a book, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer.

I love this book.
I will recommend it to everyone for the rest of my life. The author’s words resonate in my soul and I feel understood and inspired.
The book is 112 pages and the size of the book is fairly small. The print inside this particular copy is maybe 14-16 font? A short, wholesome read.

Reminder: November 4th is extremely important, don’t forget to vote!

Happy No Kings' Eve!

I just deleted my Instagram account and it gave me the same anxiety as quitting a job.

Anyone have recommendations for an alternative to Spotify?
I’m looking it up on my own too, but I just wanted some personal experience recommendations from people to supplement my search.

I feel as though the same people who claim to never to have had covid 5-6 years into this pandemic (probably because they were asymptomatic), are likely the same people who are unaware or uncertain that they have microplastics hanging out in their bodies. I regret to inform you…

Sweet little creatures I met yesterday. A common checkered Skipper, and a Carolina Mantis.

Not to propose or anything, but I’d play Elder Scrolls Online with you.

Enjoying Spring ^_^

The image is a poem that reads, “I feel a tectonic-level shift The ground beneath my feet Rumbling, a foreboding omen Something below soon to surface To devastate, crumbling away our lives Leaving behind shambles and dead eyes But the earth has yet to open, It is still only a rumble. With a glimpse of the future When do we make a change? I hope it’s not too late. Though, all we do is wait. And the earth rumbles”

The image shows what appears to be an Eastern Fence Lizard hiding in a crack between two concrete slabs while side-eyeing the camera person.

I knew some midnight poetry might be in the cards when I decided to drink a Monster energy drink at 7pm.

Also, a lizard! 🦎

Join us in solidarity—fly your American flag upside down, the traditional signal of distress and extreme emergency.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I looked at the word “life” too long and now it doesn’t look right. That f is looking mighty suspicious. 🤨

Here’s your screen time for this wee—

CDC set to lose one-tenth of workforce under Trump administration probationary job cuts Nearly 1,300 employees at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are being forced out under the Trump administration's move to get rid of all probationary employees. That's roughly one-tenth…

Nearly 1,300 probationary employees at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — roughly one-tenth of the agency’s workforce — are being forced out under the Trump administration’s move to get rid of all probationary employees.

I forgot to add alt text before I posted and can’t find where to edit it in after post.
Image is from Smithsonian’s Trees, Leaves, Flowers, and Seeds. It shows the tree which essentially looks like tree-sized broccoli. Its trunk splits into 5 big branches which support an umbrella-shaped canopy.

I have a growing bucket list of unexpected interests I want to pursue and objectives I want to accomplish in my lifetime.
Today, I’m adding:
“See a dragon blood tree irl” to the list.
What a peculiar looking tree.
Very cool. Also a vulnerable species now. 🥺

Reminder once more that the President has ZERO authority to reallocate funds already appropriated by Congress for a particular purpose.

And an unelected billionaire oligarch has even less than ZERO authority to hijack & reallocate funds.

This is a coup. A hostile takeover. A Constitutional crisis.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

An infographic showing all the shell corporations and the major brands they own.

Another infographic showing major brands that are owned by corporate monopolies.

In the process of trying to boycott or abstain from shell corporations & monopolies that own so many brands that you have no idea they own unless you check the back of every product you buy.
And even then, they might use a more inconspicuous brand name to hide themselves.
