Eight #photocollages [not entirely visible here] beginning with #earth as it would be during #drought and next as it would be with #flood. The remaining pieces depict the gradual #regeneration of the earth. Based on Forest Charter of 1217. #photography #digitalart #environmentart #ecology

I've been somewhat obsessed with composting, as a result of working in a large garden for the past couple of years. It's a good metaphor for so much. #composting #gardening #environmentart #climatechange #digitalart #photography #collage

most of these sound like a party to me - which is fine conclusion wise, but complicated the framing wrt what exists already

Composting and gardening against the backdrop of planetary change. The small figures remind us of our size relative to our environment. #photography #photoart #digitalcollage #collage #planetary change #climatechange

Trump’s threats should not be dismissed, at this point, as crude bargaining tactics or buffoonish theatrics. We’ve been here before ... In the spring of 1941, as Hitler’s armies swept across Europe.
The Forgotten Dystopian Vision That Explains Trump’s Canada Obsession
The president’s outlandish fixation on annexing Canada and Greenland makes sense when you understand his worldview. It’s pretty similar to one articulated in 1941.
