Heart’s Home A conversation about borders, belonging, and keeping the Kushners out

β€œPlace fascinates me, and it always has. Why do some places resonate with us in often inexplicably profound ways while others don’t?”

Julian Hoffman and Alexis Marie Adams talk about Hoffman’s latest book, β€˜Lifelines,’ the magic of place, grief, hope, conservation and more.

Two white mountain goats on a hillside covered in vibrant foliage and evergreen trees. White text in large letters reads: Call your senators and tell them: vote no on this devasting land grab. (202) 224-3121

We are still facing the largest attack we've ever seen on public lands.

Sen. Mike Lee still wants to liquidate more than a million acres of public lands – turning them over to the highest bidder.

Call your senators! Urge them to oppose any sell-off of public lands. πŸ“±βž‘οΈ (202) 224-3121

Ok, so what’s the number to reach Senators, and what do we say?

C’mon, Democrats. Lead.

Basic organizing: a call to action.

Shouldn’t be a random Forest Service worker adding these details, but here we are.

So easy:

πŸ“ž β€œSenator, please use your voice to stop Utah Sen. Lee’s public land grab.”

The Latest Battleground for Luxury Tourism: Albania’s Adriatic Coast

6/6 Please share my story and, when it's published, the petition, which I will also post here on BlueSky. Please help protect one of the Mediterraneans' last unexploited river deltas and its extraordinary wild creatures. Thank you so much.

5/6 A petition will be released by Albanian & EU NGOs soon calling for the reinstatement of the original, much stronger legislation protecting the Vjosa-Narta Protected Area and all protected areas in Albania, thus the reason I'm hoping to broadcast this issue as widely as possible.

4/6 I traveled there and wrote my piece hoping, however naively, to help change the course of things, but it hasn't done much to increase awareness, beyond my kind and supportive family and friends. I shared the piece here & it was hardly noticed.

3/6 ...yet the airport's construction continues and Kushner's plans remain unchallenged. Being there, on the delta, is joy-sparking and awe-inspiring--the birdlife and the beauty are incredible--and it is absolutely devastating knowing what is in store for the area and its creatures.
