Oh, I love herons! How beautiful!

Beyond Babylon: What Jamaica Taught Me About Power + How Birdsong Awakens Seeds (& what this means for us)

Recently, I learned that birdsong awakens the seeds under the Earth. The famous mystic Rudolph Steiner has said that for seeds, plants, and trees to grow, birdsong is essential. open.substack.com/pub/summeris...

Honestly, I have very few friends, and I learned long ago that I don’t have the care or energy to deal with people who do not share my own ethics or morals. I will distance myself from them, as well as organizations whose policies I find offensive.

Pete Hegseth’s Arabic tattoo stirs controversy: ‘clear symbol of Islamophobia’ Critics say US defense secretary’s tattoo of the word kafir, meaning ‘infidel’ or ‘non-believer’ could offend Muslims

Sec. Pete Hegseth’s “infidel” tattoo in Arabic sends a troubling message. Gov’t officials should uphold religious neutrality, not alienate service members. Our leaders must respect all beliefs, not promote exclusion.

317 provable lies in first 30 days. 18 per press conference. BS Barbie.

After Hegseth argued “nobody was texting war plans," The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg responds: “That’s a lie. He was texting war plans, he was texting attack plans. When targets were going to targeted. How they were going to be targeted. Who was at the targets. When the next attacks were happening”.

Thank you! I so needed to hear that today.
