Mary here, figuring out what's next. I post about birds, knitting, conservation, politics, housing justice, and things that make me laugh
I have a lot of Thanksgiving work ahead of me for the folks in our little overnight shelter, so I'm taking a moment of gratitude for friends, experiences, and creative work in my life. I'm grateful to have so many things and people to love 💕

I ran into an advocate who told me that the 9 men detained from Canal Street last month struggled to find legal representation. Historically, Black immigrants experience disproportionately *more* removals than any other group. Anti-Black racism fuels US immigration in *every* way.

An arrowhead made of #meteorite iron: around 1,500 BC, a meteorite struck #Estonia. A fragment of it arrived - presumably in the baggage of an amber trader - at what is now Lake Biel, #Switzerland. An arrowhead was then made there from the cosmic iron.
From Mörigen, 900-800 BC.

This weekend, artists are speaking out across the country
Artists in more than 40 states are spending Friday and Saturday participating in the "Fall of Freedom" – which they say represents a creative resistance to authoritarianism.

This is a really good stance by the religious groups, let them stay strong in their care for people's spiritual needs!
NEW from me: Catholic clergy, nuns sue Trump admin over Communion access for ICE detainees.
All told, more than 60 religious groups/denominations and ~10 religious professionals have sued the Trump admin this year. This lawsuit adds one more group, four more clergy. religionnews.com/2025/11/20/c...

(RNS) — ‘The Catholic Church recognizes service to people on the margins as corporal works of mercy that are cornerstones of Christianity,’ the legal complaint reads.
