Love my family, friends, animals, books, music, art and nature. #BeKind #VoteBlue to save democracy and the planet 🌊🌊🌊 (No DMs)
I love this painting! In addition to the lovely artwork, somehow, all the birds painted by @elizabethkennen seem to have a distinct personality. This seagull evokes a sense of wisdom -- as if weathering a few storms has given it greater confidence and a fearless sense of adventure.
Here's a seagull painted in watercolor, inspired by Monterey visits.
I loved working on all the details. 💙 #art #birds #BirdOfTheDay #BirdsOnTheGround #birdwatching #nature

Seems like this should be getting more coverage, but it's likely buried under an avalanche of other crimes and corrupt actions.
Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

I loved hearing this story on acts of kindness -- definitely worth a few minutes to listen and become inspired! www.npr.org/2025/10/29/n...

Great discussion and film preview. Ken Burns: “What I want, if anything, is for this film to put the US back in the U.S., and you can’t do that if you’re only telling one version of the story.”

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Millions hit the streets this weekend in solidarity with each other and to affirm the foundations of the common good.
