This is so powerful. It shows the power we to make a situation, a person or a team's life better or worse by the way we respond or react. It doesn't cost to be kind and supportive. Being mean and destructive impacts everyone negatively, not just the intended victim.

State assisted suicide passed with a majority of just 23 votes.
I voted against. I dont feel that this bill is fit for purpose. A very somber mood for many.

For something different. Alaska mushrooms! When I moved to AK over 15 years ago one of the first things I became fascinated with were the mushroom. I'm not an expert at naming them (I'm learning), but I have expert skills in laying on my belly to photograph them. Pro tip, wear rain gear.
