I never dreamed the sea so deep, The earth so dark; so long my sleep, I have become another child.
I wake to see the world go wild.

Allen Ginsberg, An Eastern Ballad

Just gave. Please consider helping if you can. Right now is an incredibly important time. Right now.

" A birdsong can even, for a moment, make the whole world
into a sky within us..." ~Rilke

you must understand animals, must feel how birds fly, and know the gesture which small flowers make when they open in the morning.

— Rilke

“….Two sandpipers flick lie along the shallows, passing in and out of visibility against the shadows of the forest as they turn; passing in and out of the given world.”

“….Sound travels fast and wide over the water.
A mile into the day, a kingfisher dives from a spruce branch; an arrow shattering a mirror.“

IS A RIVER ALIVE?
—Robert Macfarlane

“The water in the river’s bays seems solid as zinc. Everything gleams in this light. There is a happiness in me that I cannot control and do not wish to.“

Leibniz

“…every feeling is the perception of a truth...”

at the edge of the river by a bush. Looking across the river there is some algae on the water and mountains in the background.

“There is another alphabet, whispering from every leaf, singing from every river, shimmering from every sky.”

The worst chief justice of all time Move over, Roger Taney and Melville Fuller.

"Since the start of Trump’s second term, the Court has routinely allowed the administration to implement objectively unconstitutional actions by pretending that they’re simply making a narrow procedural ruling rather than blessing Trump’s wholesale destruction of democracy."

Gnosis, like alchemy, does not isolate the psychic from the physical: physical matter is as it were psychic matter solidified, congealed.

ICE detains Marine Corps veteran's wife who was still breastfeeding their baby U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained the wife of a Marine Corps veteran in Louisiana during a routine immigration appointment in New Orleans

If you support what this administration is doing, you’re not “pro life”, you don’t “support the troops”, you’re not a “patriot” and you’re definitely not a “Christian”.
You’re a fascist ghoul in a cult that worships a conman who thinks you’re an idiot.

Yep. This is illegal and unconstitutional on its face. The budget and appropriations are laws. The President "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed", according to the express dictate of the federal constitution. His "priorities" are literally irrelevant.

I worked at Planned Parenthood.

They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.
 
Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

Federal agents blasted their way into a Los Angeles home with two children inside, @nbcla.com reports.

Mamdani on "globalize the intifada": "That's not language that I used. The language that I used and the language that I will continue to use to lead the city is that which speaks clearly to my intent, which is an intent grounded in a belief in universal human rights."

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is

We use @ursulakleguin.com as a portal for our conversation. Particularly the lines: “One way to stop seeing trees or rivers or hills only as a natural resource is to class them as fellow beings—kinfolk. I guess I’m trying to subjectify the universe, because look where objectifying it has gotten us."
