Trump snubbed as U.S. Women's Hockey Team declines State of the Union invitation Olympic champions opt out of high-profile White House moment, citing scheduling conflicts

The US Women’s Hockey team declines meeting with a serial rapist and child rape trafficker.

The US “men’s” hockey team however jumped gleefully at the opportunity to meet Jeffrey Epstein’s best-friend.

Van Gogh often compared painting to writing. Each brushstroke was a sentence in color; each canvas, a confession.

His art became a form of correspondence—letters written not in words, but in paint and feeling.

A misty and damp view in watercolour of the Thames done on the spot in 1993.

A London plein air watercolour drawing of the Thames on a drizzly day (I was underneath a structure of some kind). St Paul's on the left and I think it's Blackfriars Bridge on the right. I expect that skyline has changed since 1993. It was cold.

A spring feel in the air…

Locally got to 14.3C around 3pm new warmest day of year until next week.

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

"Time and all the world was lost. Everything he could feel and look at had blown away, only a bewitched whirl of damp and dancing darkness was left.
Any sensible person could have told him that this was the very moment when the long spring was born."

I can answer this one. The president of the United States is dangerously psychotic and no one in his political party will say it, nor will 95% of American media.

Nothing but Footprints left behind…🌺

Imagine if HEALTHCARE WAS FREE in America, as it is in Greenland. Just imagine. 🇺🇸🇬🇱

We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

Final weekend. One last push.

This is about whether you want local plumber Hannah Spencer or the extreme Reform candidate.

It's hope vs hate.

It's Greens vs Reform.

Hope can win.

Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there. It's on the way!!! President DJT

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.

Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.

So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

This one hits hard.

Pressed flowers in a book, with the poem ‘The one before the last’.

For Celandine Day, some pressed Lesser celandines (and, I think, some Wood anemones) in my copy of Rupert Brooke’s ‘Poems’, eleventh impression (London: Sidgwick & Jackson, 1916).

A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.

Also now that they have drafts here we are so back

Floofy Little Egret standing on a rock on a rocky shoreline.

Between the wet weather lately and the recurring desire not to hike with a heavy camera/lens otherwise, I've barely photographed any #birds at all over the past month or so.

Do I have any egrets about that? Maybe just a little egret.

When hate is the fuel, facts are just background noise.

Could aliens in another galaxy see dinosaurs on Earth? How big would a telescope need to be to see Earth’s dinosaurs from 66 million light-years away? Think big—and then think bigger

You know what? Sure, I'll say yes. It also explains why aliens don't come here. Either they'd be afraid of the giant lizard monsters, or they're disappointed the dinos are gone.
