October leaf palette. If you zoom in to the colours and details it will dial down stress a little and help you recover if there's any angst for you later today (research has shown this)🍁🍂🌾🌿

Leaves from 6 different trees & shrubs collected in October and arranged to create a colour shift echoing a rainbow

Still struggling with my mental health tbh, especially around low income & ‘failing as a human’ (this may be internal ableism tbh) BUT Dave my garden robin now comes to say hi every day,even when there are mealworms outside step for him. He seems to like visiting me. He lifts my mood a lot tbh:

Why is 🇺🇸 media not reporting on this 128 day Albanian protest of Kushner and Ivanka’s insane corruption?

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Yes absolutely. Treason yes but also so many MANY violations of federal law. They ought to be able to send a whole crowd of people to prison if they had the guts to prosecute and follow through.

I just started reading "Blonde" by @joycecaroloates.bsky.social I just have to say thank you. It's making me cry, but in the best possible way. Such powerful, resonant, fluent prose. Such heart... Thank you for making this old idiot cry.

Wow, Casals is in his 70s here. Myra Hess is in her 60s, Stern (the young bulldog), in his early 30s. Casals sounds so plaintive in the opening solo. A magical recording. #ClassicalMusic www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvM1...

As gas prices in Michigan hit $5/gallon and diesel hits a record $6.59, it shouldn't be this hard to buy gas, groceries, or afford healthcare. Our economy has been rigged against the very people who make it work. I'm running for Senate to change that.

For folks wanting to expand on the Macklemore/Ed Sheeran situation, I recommend the 1957 Albert Camus lecture "Create Dangerously," which u can find in this book. In it, he talks about the line good art must walk between frivolity & propaganda, & how art that insists on being a luxury becomes a lie.

My hand holding a paperback copy of the Albert Camus book of essays called "resistance, rebellion, and death", with a black and white blocky cover. Behind the book are a blue rug, my son's hot wheels, and a bookshelf.

First visitor to the garden step bird café this morning: Steve the blackbird, looking slightly scruffy bc he’s moulting, as most birds are atm. This may actually be son or even grandson of the original Steve in my book The Wild Remedy:

Second visitor to the garden bird café this morning: Dave the robin, who just before this hopped inside the house for the third time in as many days. There’s some weird Snow White-type action going on (see the wren who visited yesterday 🪶)

Nearly every problem you face with your government today is not fundamentally a policy issue, it is a corruption issue. Corruption shapes policy, determines whose interests are protected, and dictates which crimes can be committed in the name of “national security.”

You know, it's ridiculous to build data centers and then have the power company sending out emails like, "the grid is in peril! Unplug your TV, toaster, and laptop today for three hours to save energy!" You know what else saves energy?! Knocking down data centers and not building more!

Thankyou so so much for your reposts of my workshops. I’ve now sold a couple of spaces so the wolf is no longer at the door/eating one of my legs, though I’ve a way to go to get back to where I was. I’m going to make a photo with blackberries for you today which I’ll post later 🌿

Neuroaesthetics is a growing area of research showing that seeking out & engaging with images & things we find beautiful each day can significantly improve mental health-my photo of dried flowers is some neuroaesthetics for your brain. Also spot the dried viola/tiny pansy...

I understand that it sucks to have to read a book you didn't choose as a kid but when people are like 40 and still going, "well assigned reading turned me off from reading" it's like, ok but you're 40. No one has assigned you a book in like 20 years.

Horrible day. ICE is preparing a deportation flight to Laos so some of my former, current, and were-to-be clients are being brought to the Whipple Building and shipped off to Louisiana for final removal. Lots of calls from them, their families, and friends. So much pain visited on our community
