Oct. 1945, Savanna Ordnance Depot, Savanna Illinois. My mother is wearing the striped blouse, sixth from the left. Everyone was part of the war effort during WWII.

The soybeans are ready for harvest. I don't know when they started planting this field, but it was fallow in the CRP for as long as my 71 years can remember.

My parents when they met during WWII. Dad was 4F because of his vision and flat feet, but still served the war effort at the Savanna Ordnance Depot. Mom worked there too, it's where they met. I don't remember him, I was 4 when he died, but I think they liked each other.

Social Security has been America’s most effective anti-poverty program since 1935. Last year, it lifted 23.5 million people out of poverty, including 16.5 million seniors. Remember this when Republican leaders suggest raising the retirement age or cutting your benefits.

You don’t dislodge and overtake a political machine that serves as a front for a wealth class with billions upon billions of wealth with just a few primaries. Pay attention to the flood of money washing into campaigns and political groups. It’s going to increase and it will get uglier.

When a party alienates its base so badly that the base moves into electoral rebellion and the party goes into hyper-active defense and starts ratfucking to protect its power it always ends well for the party

Every bee helps keep our world alive by pollinating the plants that grow the fruits, vegetables, and flowers we depend on. Protecting bees means protecting nature, our food supply, and future generations. 🌍 Save the bees today—because every tomorrow depends on them.

Love every time there's some article about the end of literacy or the educational crisis or the epidemic of conspiracy theories and it's always presented as if these are things that *just happened* and never really get into the fact that these are the consequences of a deliberate agenda.

“Due to research into our circadian rhythms, we are rediscovering that the essence of each of us is aligned with ‘noon’ being…noon.”

Natural Time

[Photo of Sundial]

Our ancestors knew. Our ancestors understood. Even before mechanized timekeepers, when the hour of the day was determined by gnomon and dial, they had a grasp of the effect time has upon us. They knew the importance of attuning one’s existence with our celestial star, the life-sustaining force for our planet, thus they created methods to accentuate that attunement. An aspect of that was establishing ‘noon’ when the sun was at its highest point in the sky.

We were living on Nature’s time, with our solar companion directing our activities—our days and seasons—and it was the standard. We started our productivity soon after the sun’s rising, and prepared to unwind as it began to set; this manifested springs and summers of growth and vitality, autumns and winters of rest and rejuvenation. Elders wisely led, adults rigorously built, and children thrived in body and spirit… all by the rhythms of the sun.

Exactly…
