LOVE flowers, movies, art, books, travel—all kinds of fun things. (And #TCM, of course!)

A moment away from the world’s pain—to consciously notice & appreciate nature—can help. 🌼🌺🌸🍁

A favor, please: if I follow you back, please don’t immediately slide into my DMs unless I already know you.

It feels creepy. Unsafe. And it’s another reason why I will choose this fella over you. Every. Time. 👇🧸🐻
Good afternoon.

Today, I’m sending you this cheery Cosmos as a timeline cleanse, from my archives.

In Victorian times, these beauties symbolized joy in love and life. Even in dark times, nature inspires. 🌸🌸🌸🌸

Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live."

That's a death threat.

If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.
One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.
Now in Maine: ICE watchers say federal agents are coming to their house to threaten and intimidate them.

Just say the government is lying. The goal of journalism should be to inform, not gaslight.

Good afternoon. I’m sending you this Daff because it symbolizes hope and resilience.

Daffodils push through tough winters and bloom early in the springtime.

Nature always inspires. 🌼

More bad news in Minneapolis this morning.

I’m sending you these sunflowers, because they symbolize resilience, strength, perseverance. We need these qualities to find light in the darkness.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

Everyone with authority must speak out now against Trump's depravity and lawlessness.

Every Democratic leader.

Every university, professional association, charity, and foundation head.

Every CEO.

Every religious leader.

If they don't, history will condemn their cowardice and complicity.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalist’s home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.

I'm old enough to remember when CBS News and journalists like Edward R. Murrow held power to account, instead of capitulating to it.

Both my parents caught diphtheria when they were babies in the 1920s.

My mother lost her sense of smell (for the rest of her life), and my father was hospitalized for weeks.

Vaccines work.

This reckless move by the Trump Administration has nothing to do with science or informed choice – it’s about appeasing a debunked anti-vaccine agenda being pushed by RFK Jr. and his allies.

I strongly condemn this decision that puts infants and children at real risk.
