Good morning. I aim to regularly share a photo either recently made or from cutting room floor.
From my recent trip researching #bogs in Ireland (I #AmWriting about bogs, #IronAge Bog People, death, photography and preservation for my current MFA):
Here are some magnificent, 200+ year old beeches.

I'm sorry, but I just think it's very telling when we differentiate between ICE's killing of American citizens versus undocumented immigrants. And I'm seeing that a lot right now.

Solidarity with the people of Minneapolis tonight and our hearts with the woman criminally murdered by an ICE agent today (RIP), her wife and all her loved ones, and all those mourning her loss via this unconscionable act. This is fascism. #NoHumanIsIllegal #Minneapolis

Since Noem became head of DHS and ICE further reduced standards for joining the agency while White House officials such as Stephen Miller demanded enforcement quotas, there has been a huge uptick in horrendous violence from ICE. This was predictable, yet it remains shocking and unacceptable.

It appears ICE murdered someone in cold blood today and their plan is — per usual — to create a fog of lies so the killer does not face justice. We simply can't let that happen. The shooter has to be arrested and so does Bovino. They can't just kill people on the street.

(So it's a really good idea to acknowledge the ways we benefit from being white, the ways we're dehumanized by the same system from which we benefit, and direct energy toward supporting/being led by people who don't share that privilege because the only liberation is a shared liberation.)

Just came across this, on the final narration of the Twilight Zone episode The Obsolete Man (in which Burgess Meredith plays a librarian on trial in an authoritarian state), and Rod Sterling’s final narration definitively hits hard right now.

new approaches for the new year...
Every time I reinstate this policy my free-floating anxiety goes down, I have more mental energy in general, and I'm actually better informed, do with it what you will:
1. Set a timer *before* opening any social media, log out when it's done.
2. No social media on my phone
