When of course, in that scenario, Iran is clearly the biggest loser.

Getting to fuzz the top of a giraffe's horns is certainly a high point in my life. Sadly, no leopards -- though we saw several antelope unmistakably cached by leopards high in a tree. Oh! And there are many incredible antelope; eland and kudu stand out as super cool in my memory.

Mary Oliver. The black honey of summer.

ripe blackberries hanging from a blackberry cane, with ferns in the background

August
by Mary Oliver

When the blackberries hang
swollen in the woods, in the brambles
nobody owns, I spend

all day among the high
branches, reaching
my ripped arms, thinking

of nothing, cramming
the black honey of summer
into my mouth; all day my body

accepts what it is. In the dark
creeks that run by there is
this thick paw of my life darting among

the black bells, the leaves; there is
this happy tongue.

You could say anything. Poem by Charles O. Hartman.

Ticket

I love the moment at the ticket window—he says—
when you are to say the name of your destination, and realize
that you could say anything, the man at the counter
will believe you, the woman at the counter
would never say No, that isn't where you're going,
you could buy a ticket for one place and go to another,
less far along the same line. Suddenly you would find yourself
—he says—in a locality you've never seen before,
where no one has ever seen you and you could say your name
was anything you like, nobody would say No,
that isn't you, this is who you are. It thrills me every time.

Not to mention, prioritizes the most common commandment throughout the Torah and the prophets (which of course Jesus was trained on and teaching from): to "care for the widow, the orphan, and the immigrant."

the rate of progress in battery tech is *insane.* prices down 40% and space efficiency up by ~half in ONE YEAR www.volts.wtf/p/solarstora...

Solar+storage is so much farther along than you think

On how plummeting battery prices make 24/7 solar power a reality today.

Bill McKibben said something similar a lot of years ago (15, maybe?) at Vermont's diocesan convention: build community. Vibrant communities will do better than isolated wealthy suburbs. Local food, mutual aid, water protection, the bonds of local civic life - these are where resilience lie.

I think the fact that I'm now full of fighting spirit is a sign that acceptance and grief are enlivening, not deadening. So let's fight for mitigation. Let's fight for the fascists' overthrow. And let's pour energy into local communities and looking out for each other.

Screenshot from the Suzuki interview: "Governments will not be able to respond on the scale or speed that is needed for these emergencies, so Finland is telling their citizens that they’re going to be at the front line of whatever hits and better be sure you’re ready to meet it. Find out who on your block can’t walk because you’re going to have to deal with that. Who has wheelchairs? Who has fire extinguishers? Where is the available water? Do you have batteries or generators? Start assessing the roots of escape. You’re going to have to inventory your community, and that’s really what we have to start doing now."

This, combined with the report of the Deep Western Boundary Current reversal, strikes me as correct. Our political, legal, and economic systems have not budged. This is not giving up: "The units of survival are going to be local communities, so I’m urging local communities to get together."

Read the whole thing— good political satire is extremely hard to find and this absolutely sticks the landing.

Reporting in from our local No Kings rally today in northern New England, I'd guess ~250 people lining both sides of main street! Excellent turnout, and a lot of support from folks driving through.
