A fern after the first frost
Ferns after it gets cold turn into this really cool white color before they go all brown. You can see all the extra detail in the leaves

Forest facts:
- Trees grow exponentially faster as they age.
- Older forests do more to moderate climate and are more resilient than young forests.
- Biodiversity = resiliency.
- Death and decay are normal and healthy.
- Natural succession has no easy shortcuts.
It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Good morning 🌻
The look on kitty's face when he asks me what has been happening in America this week. #caturday
Hope everyone is taking care of their hearts 🫂💪
A painting of a river flowing through a forest. The water is a light blue color and reflects the orange and red colors of the trees on the banks. The trees are bare and their branches are silhouetted against the sky.
There’s a definite #glow in this painting inspired by the Finnish coastal landscape #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #smArtist #EastCoastKin

To all foreigners who plan on visiting United States. Don't
You may have Blackhawk helicopters attack your Hotel, elite Army military strike Force soldiers and ICE thugs pull you out of your rooms, naked, separate & zip-tie your kids, go through all your clothing & belongings. Imprison you.

Oh look, another White House Signal scandal.
This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat.
Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland.

Trump doesn’t need to post a job report.
The signs are all around us.

True. Figurr-8 knot. You can always untie a figure eight.
I'm 75. I once had some of my children's friends help me with a trailer load. One day they asked where the binders were. I pulled out a rope & started tying a bowline, a figure-8, a trucker's hitch, & they all went. "Wow, he's using a rope!"
Funny how when they cut human staff and use machines, kiosks, AI, Chatbots, the prices never, ever go down…… (like did your airline ticket price go down now that you use kiosks?)

The senile piece of shit fascist wants museums to stop displaying pieces and exhibits that talk about the history of the US
The fascist in the White House only wants Americans to be able to see the history that Trump and Republicans think is acceptable
This is one of the definitions of fascism
Grandma's two passions were LSD and ducks.
