We had a beautiful day on the water in Puget Sound today with the @whaleresearch.bsky.social and J-Pod. They were pretty quiet in the morning but started getting a little chattier in the afternoon. Here are a few photos from our encounter.

If we wanted to resolve poverty in America all we would have to do is make it a priority and collect already established taxes. This book Poverty, by America lays it out and haunts me every damned day. I urge you to read it and gift it to friends who read.

In the U.S., we use prisoners as a source of income for the powerful, because our prison system originated with our chattel slavery system. This rate increase approval is the intentional result of that system, fought for by sheriffs and wardens and state legislators and huge corporations.
Today was a hard day. Regulations that we passed unanimously last year, after 7 years of advocacy, were largely gutted. The FCC capitulated to the correctional telecom industry in roughly doubling rate caps for prison and jail calls. I'm truly sorry.

Donated this morning, received email that they could buy 60 dozen eggs with what I gave. Those of us who can, should.
I just donated to my local food bank. If you can, you should too. People are already suffering but next month, in particular, is going to be so difficult.

I really hope my photos help people feel what its like being outside. I don't think enough people spend enough time outside each day. Do you spend a lot of time inside or do you get outside at least once a day?

Down in the forest
All the leaves and branches
appear the same —
Roots drink the silence,
of leaves that hum below,
Only our hearts will ever know —
beneath the moss and stone,
the ancient rhythm,
of us ours alone.
