Well worth signing up to Rebecca Solnit newsletter for a longer take on what's going on in the USA right now.

It's easy to feel disorientated in these times, after all that is the intention of Trump/Musk. So taking a deeper look is important.

Hi Jack

It's a strange place to be isn't it? Seeing the horrors coming over the hill while neighbours and family jet off on their hols

it's a great practice I think. Yes, it's time consuming but there are so many benefits. It's fun and even if the results don't look like a pro (mine never do!) it will still work.

interesting to see the difference between those who believe CC is happening (95%) as against those who see it as mainly human caused (55%).

There are days just filled with beauty, and this was one.

Winter has arrived in Tuath Nua, County Mayo, and it was a morning for just being overwhelmed by the gorgeousness of it all.

Carole Cadwalladr's checklist for survival and resistance.

We will need to build our communities of mutual aid even stronger in the future. It needs connection, to neighbours, colleagues, community groups, unions, marginalised people we meet.
