Governor Pritzker: Say less and do more. Constituents need visible action from you. They aren't safe.

Rights are moot in the moment someone is forcibly and violently detained by people without warrants who wear masks and are granted authority to arrest people based on skin color or accent alone.

It's okay not to carry a smartphone and wearables with you everywhere you go.

Not this one. Whatever people may say against her, she's a survivor, she's been homeless, and she's worked in health care, which uniquely qualify her to represent the interests of the people. Bell aspires to be a career politician; Bush wants to serve us. Israeli PACs won't win so easily again.

In a cultural moment when terror and destruction are celebrated, the most powerful act is one of love & creation.

Keep making art, loving all living beings, & offering service in the ways that only you can.

Life and connection continue on Earth. Permission not required.

A narrow and deep canyon is in the centre of the view, the canyon curving slightly left into the distance. The canyon sides are solid rock. The river in the bottom is a milky in colour. The sky is blue with some fluffy white clouds.

I’m running to end the corruption.

We need hundreds more like this person holding office in Red States.

Study Shows How Plastic Pollution Enters Produce Research from the University of Plymouth has demonstrated the ability of nanoplastics to infiltrate the edible radish root, which raises questions about the food safety and public health implications ...

Nanoplastics can move from soil or water into plant roots, pass the Casparian strip (a natural barrier), and build up in edible tissues like radishes. This study shows a direct route for plastics into the food chain.

I started my career reporting on tech and human rights in a dictatorship (Cambodia), and was at RightsCon earlier this year.

If there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that the rest of the world has a LOT to teach Americans about using tech to survive and fight back under authoritarian regimes.

The St. Louis Clean Air Partnership has issued an air quality alert for the St. Louis metropolitan area from 10 AM to 8 PM CDT Friday. An Orange air quality forecast means that maximum ozone and fine particulates concentrations are expected to reach levels that pose a health risk. Adverse health effects increase as air quality deteriorates. Ground-level ozone and fine particulates is an air contaminant which can cause breathing difficulties for children, older adults, as well as persons with respiratory problems. Reducing outdoor physical activity is recommended. If it is a regularly scheduled work day you are urged to consider telecommuting, carpooling, or utilizing public transit. Avoid excessive idling and do not top off when refueling motor vehicles. The use of gasoline-powered lawn equipment should be reduced or postponed until late in the day. For more information visit the St. Louis Clean Air Partnership at http://cleanair-stlouis.com/ For current Air Quality Index (AQI) values visit https://www.airnow.gov/

Here's a video of me printing Frida!

Except I managed to screw up recording the dark brown layer – I recorded all the bits in between the shots and not the actual printing.

Anway I hope you enjoy.

I’ve been printing a few more of my barn owl #linocut prints and have encountered a problem with how the lino block prints. So, I thought I’d explain what caused it.

Rugged gray mountain rising above rolling slopes covered in dense aspens turning yellow and orange, dotted with dark evergreens under a blue sky with scattered clouds.

Last weekend was incredible along the Million Dollar Highway…

Woodland is radiated as the sun casts rays of light down to the woodland floor. Light and shade occurs between the trees.

One of the many wonders about the Lake District are the temperate rain forests. A sea of green and moss to inspire. Have a good night, all. 💚

Whatever others may do, whatever our outer circumstances, freedom lives within us and can be our home from moment to moment.

From that place, we can do so much for our neighbors and communities, be it in the open or in secret.

Take courage & live free. This is the life we are given.

Great shot! Boy, do I miss the Washington State Ferries & the scent of Puget Sound.

A majestic snow-capped mountain rises above a blanket of clouds, with a forested shoreline and calm water in the foreground under a vivid blue sky.

Mount Rainier Seattle Washington. That big mountain! From the Bainbridge Ferry.
