Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.
Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.
They are not the same.

'Footpath through a park.' (1920) Santiago Rusiñol almost completely concentrated on painting Spain's gardens and landscapes. Wherever he went, he recorded the domestic, at other times enigmatic, forms and rich vegetation of the shrubbery, orchards, and arboretums he discovered.

How microplastics may be reshaping our bodies and minds.
“The particles are in our blood, brains and guts – and scientists are only beginning to learn what they do.”
Microplastics like those from car tires. The bigger and heavier the vehicle, the more microplastics shed.

"Trees will only grow in fertile soil, not up in mountains."
This self-seeded pine, lodged in a crevice high up in a sheer rock escarpment in the Caha Mountains, begs to differ. It says that trees will grow just about *anywhere* sheep can't get at them.

The grotesque inequality of wealth in the United States is at the root of countless problems. If you are an oligarch, you know this. They win the class war by fighting the culture war. Don’t take the bait.

'Through the Windscreen.' (1929) Gertrude Hermes was a printmaker and sculptor, who was one of the leading figures in the revival of wood engraving in the early 20thC. This work shows the night-time view of a tree-lined road lit up by the headlights of a car.

At least a third of my book (in progress) is just me having fun explaining the humor in Frost’s astronomical poems, but this one is different.
The tone goes from contentious to sad.
Note, the “far star” is a galaxy. 🧪🔭
