Flagstaffarian. Enthusiasm extends to archaeology, museums, folklore, trees, tortoises, and a nice cup of tea.

I don't think people appreciate enough the fact that, at a time where global warming was approaching an inflection point yet renewable energy was finally becoming economically viable, we decided to squander that opportunity because literal death cultists decided we needed Infinite Bullshit Machines.

I sometimes despair that the camera can never really capture just how amazing the natural world can be. But sometimes, just sometimes, the winter light hits those reeds and all those reflections pop... #birds #birdphotography #birding #photooftheday #photography #NatureIsAmazing

Believe your eyes. Believe your heart.
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

America under siege
To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

As always, Dr. King's message is right on time. Today calls on all of us to hear his wisdom and put it into action.

Does anyone remember the classic "ICE vs The Viking in a Bathtub" sketch on Monty Python? Good times!

A new year could mean a new you.
A you with new antlers, moss, tentacles, thorns, fangs, and a darker determination to change the world around you.

I just heard a commentator say basically "well, how would Americans like it if some other country kidnapped trump and his wife and sent them off for trial?"

I would guess that most Americans would be grateful.

Goodnight from The Bottled Imp tavern, where a pale ale fuelled punch-up has broken out on whether white horse of summer or grey mare of winter is the best Bone Horse. Goodnight from Rex Hill, wondering why his shadow has grown wings on the walk home. Goodnight from Hookland.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
