Day 23: β€œStill, Life”

This is 100 days of experimenting and today I am learning how to paint sunflowers. Believe me - I’m no Van Gogh. And I’m a day behind. There’s always tomorrow, and the next day, and the next…

🚨NEW: The Trump Administration has destroyed a mural of Dr. Anthony Fauci at the NIH Headquarters. The painting was there to honor his work to combat infectious diseases and inspire other health officials.

REPOST if you stand with Dr. Fauci against the Trump Administration!

Trump cancels $600,000 grant for study on menstrual cycles in transgender men

Hive Mind-what is the deal with this? The sources I keep finding for this is X and Fox. I am hoping that this is a scam and I can blast a relative of mind on its authenticity. (I’m still digging through the interwebs).

This is a photo of the full moon and February 12, 2025. It is shining so bright through the birch trees and lighting up the ice on the river behind our house. It is the Kenai River in Kenai, Alaska. Thank you for reading, Diane

I’m not going to lie, it’s difficult to get through the day. I could give up reading the news, but I want to be informed.I can’t ignore what’s happening, nor can I stay silent. Nor can I normalize any of this. I’m beside myself with anguish and know many of you feel the same way.

A picture of the sunrise. Shades of pink fill the eastern horizon and glow over the Kenai River in Kenai Alaska. I am looking through my dining room window. A chilly morning of -5Β°F. Thank you for reading, Diane

We are driving down the road and see a great view of a snow covered mountain. The mountain is a volcano called Mt. Redoubt. This took place in Kenai, Alaska. Thank you for reading, Diane

This is a view of Kachemak Bay from the Homer Spit in Homer, Alaska. The road is barely above sea level so there is a great view of the crashing waves hitting the beach. Thank you for reading, Diane

This is another view of the Kachemak Bay. There is a barrier of rocks piled along the road as it is barely above sea level. This protects the road from high waves. here is a Wikipedia explanation.

Kachemak Bay (Dena'ina: Tika Kaq’) is a 40-mi-long (64 km) arm of Cook Inlet in the U.S. state of Alaska, located on the southwest side of the Kenai Peninsula. The communities of Homer, Halibut Cove, Seldovia, Nanwalek, Port Graham, and Kachemak City are on the bay as well as three Old Believer settlements in the Fox River area, Voznesenka, Kachemak Selo, and Razdolna.
