Please note that I changed my display name from 'ME/CFS warrior' to 'The view from where I'm standing' Joined as 'ME/CFS warrior' to raise awareness for chronic illness. As I’ve settled in, I wanted a name that encompasses my love for photography, sociology, and the perspective I view life through.

Sending care to @robcrank68.bsky.social for his and his family's loss. May you find moments of peace in nature, and may the beauty of the world around you remind you of the love and connection to your departed loved one that abides. #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Paridae #NatureTherapy #Connection #ECK

Disabled people need more support. Most ableds believe if you get “sick enough” help will magically appear. That if you get worse, more help will arrive. It doesn’t work like that. Unless you have family or deep pockets, you are on your own. Abuse is rampant. Suffering is inevitable.

#BirdOfTheDay = #JKLM ​ Mallard ​I was heartbroken when this gentle brooding Mallard passed shortly after this photo. Being witness to her nest dedication & quiet presence felt sacred. Bittersweetly, saved her eggs & connected with an amazing wildlife rehabber! #BirdsOfBluesky #NaturePhotography

Throwing it back to an October trip to the historic streets of Québec City - when I was there exploring my Canadian heritage. A fond nod to a time when Canada was viewed and respected as our neighbor. 🇨🇦 #ThrowbackThursday #PhotoSky #QuebecCity #Canada #ShareCanGeo #PhotographersOfBluesky #ECK #TBT
Fairmont Le Château Frontenac hotel


A large, historic grand hotel featuring Chateauesque architectural style, red brick, and green copper roofing rises dramatically on a steep, tree-covered hill illuminated with fall foliage. Below the hill, a row of traditional European-style stone and historic buildings lines the street level under a soft, overcast dusk sky.

#WaterfallWednesday #Canada 🇨🇦 I was visiting #NiagaraFalls and met a Ring-billed Gull. Learning that I was a nice American, the gull dropped a little package at his feet and asked me to deliver his gift of diplomacy back home. Any idea who the gift might be for? @mark-carney.bsky.social ? 😜

I'd be curious to know how much money was spent on federal officers at Rep. Ilhan Omar's house today - given federal officers receive premium holiday pay. $10,000/hr? She isn't a U.S. security threat. My tax 💵 should go towards #UniversalHealthcare instead of federal #Harassment #News 💵🚽

In today's political and social climate, marginalized groups and those who stand in solidarity with them, stand to be a target. I want our Congress to represent the diverse citizens of the US - including citizens such as @repilhan.bsky.social I want checks and balances and not abuses of power.

Both #ColumbusDay & #IndigenousPeoplesDay are responses to historical violence: 📜Columbus Day was a 1892 peace offering after a mob killed Italian Americans, triggered by a dying police chief's blame. 🪶 Indigenous Peoples’ Day confronts the colonial genocide started by Columbus. #History#Peace🕊

Actor, Mike Myers, claims that he would be “nothing without Canada”. He was a direct beneficiary of many Canadian social services. A leg up is not a hand out. 👏 Video: CBCNews/TikTok

Alt #BirdOfTheDay is Pigeons or Doves I temporarily rescued a racing pigeon that had been hit by a car. Up to 60% of racing pigeons get lost, injured, or die during a race. If you race pigeons, you're not my kind of person. This is him. #EndAnimalExploitation #BirdsOfBluesky

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, we must recognize that improving mental health requires more than raising awareness. It is imperative that we address the social and economic conditions that dictate people’s well-being.

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, remember that living with fibromyalgia often means adapting to a life that doesn't always go as planned. Give yourself permission to rest, adjust expectations, and celebrate small victories. Your worth is not measured by what you accomplish. #TeamFibro #FAC

Take this as your sign to spend a little time outdoors today 💚 Nature has a unique way of reducing stress, calming the nervous system and lifting our mood. It doesn't have to be a big adventure, even a short stroll can help you reset and recharge. #WorldMentalHealthDay 📸: Chester Tugwell

Seeing an old election post circulating about Ms. Bolden - the first Black woman to serve on the Michigan Supreme Court - brought renewed hope and yet heartbreak. Ms. Bolden's great-grandfather was lynched over a store encounter & fatal plea for accountability against systemic economic abuse.

If everyone had food, water, housing, education and healthcare … we would all be better off. When basic needs are met, people flourish. Health and happiness improves. We could easily provide for everyone by demanding the billionaire class pay their fair share.

Disabled people deserve healthcare, housing, food and support. They deserve accommodations. They don’t deserve to be treated as “less than” because they can’t work. No one’s worth should be tied to productivity. Only the top 1% benefits from a system that leaves “non productive” people behind.
