Lifelong misfit doing what I can to help my little corner of the world & trying to add as many📍to my 🌏🗺️ as I can along the way

Oh, and opposing this admin any way I can to keep 🇺🇸 small d democratic
Who’d have thought N Korea would have the tourist destination headline & the US would have militarized borders?

Only with these fuckwits in charge…

US exceptionalism at its finest, huh?

Koki'o 'ula'ula - Hawaiian red hibiscus

First of many buds to bloom on a new addition to the🪴 garden

Think I’m going to enjoy the world outside today and check in on all the crazy I miss some other time

My heart breaks for that family

Also worth the read, if only for a look at pros/cons of law enforcement tools in the digital age

Bless their hearts, they really think they’re the best & brightest
Meanwhile the rest of us suffer…

Eartha, gecko gazing while she waits for the daily crepuscular migration of the mynahs
She chirps at the finches and sparrows, too … so long as they’re smart enough to stay out of her reach

I need to let off some steam today. I think I’ll add to it… maybe quote some of their own words back to them while I’m at it…

They have a role in maintaining free government after all & it was their own callous & calamitous decisions that helped to escalate this crisis

Is it me or did he just confirm abdicating power of the executive to his admin? He issues EOs like he gets a 💰💰 for each one but can’t step on any toes here?🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m no expert, but don’t lawyers act on behalf of their clients & at the direction of their clients?

I'm sick of the country going to sh*t, the climate in chaos, and the lowest IQs getting the loudest bullhorns

I'm going back where the only things I hear are crashing waves and hungry Laysan albatross chicks.

Hope you find your own escape today💜

Happy Earth Day!

If you have state or National parks near you, maybe give them a visit or let your rep know you’d like to keep them intact and unspoiled

Pics are by me from random hikes into the woods & a double rainbow blessing at Kilauea, HI

These brazen attacks on our democracy and our rights will only continue unless we demand that they end.

Btw there’s no “other” in “together” or “united” & there’s really only one side of the issue to be on if you consider yourself a patriotic American who values democracy.

Carrion-flower blooming by the coastline is by far better than reading about the carrion of our intuitions.

Deep breaths are required when I think of SCOTUS decisions over last 25 yrs

This whole snuggling thing is new for us, but I love it 💜 …it only took three years 😅

Happy Friday

I’m so lucky to have this little love bug for a roommate 💜🐈‍⬛ so easy to let the outside world slip away for a bit when she’s around

Thanks for sharing. I’m so mad at all of them. I hope people are voicing their displeasure. I am.
