Western NC. I live in a red county but a temperate rainforest so it sorta evens out. Trans ally. Politics and ecology, biodiversity, soil science. Poets always welcome.

I live in a college neighborhood and walk my dog 4 or 5 miles a day. He's a pretty boy, so we end up stopping to speak to a lot of students.

Picture of whisky dog sitting in front of a brick wall with peeling paint. The dog appears to be relaxed and slightly smiling. A pink leash leads back to the camera.

Sailor's delight.

Around the same time of day in Greensboro.

Pink clouds in a blue sky on city street with houses, tall winter trees and a car's headlights.

And fittingly, the press conference today was held outside the International Civil Rights Museum, housed in the Woolworths where in 1960, 4 NCA&T students refused to leave after being denied service, starting the sit-in movement.

People gathered in a street around a speaker at a press conference, taking photos and holding signs of protest. In the background is a building with an old-fashioned sign proclaiming F. W. Woolworth Co. in gold letters.

Just came from a press conference decrying the continued detainment of Mohamed Naser. Although a judge granted bail pending trial, ICE invoked a little-used rule to keep him. A good portion of the crowd were neighbors holding the sign "I ❤️ Mo."

Photo of a crowd of people standing in peaceful protest. Many are holding signs - one reads "I ❤️ Mo" and another "No more." City buildings in the background.

Totally forgot this was coming and just opened my mailbox woohoo! Thanks, @asherelbein.bsky.social ! Only regret I didn't plan my day so I could sit down and devour the whole thing right now. (Reposted with alt texr).

Not the most spectacular wildflower photo, but grateful I live in a place where we have a couple hundred different types of native wildflowers that bloom in an astounding succession - every week and sometimes day-to-day the dominant blooms change. There is good in this world.
