In her mirage of ripe gold,
the fig waits with secrets untold.
She reaches in vain,
through hunger and pain,
’til the orchard fades, bitter and cold

Just learned the HELIOS laser exists. Super cool tech but... Just wish we could use that energy on helping people sometimes. I wish there was a billionaire Batman to humble these Batman villains we have running around right now. Not sure Batman is really on the side of the working class or not but

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Good news for once!
We’ve found a 300-year-old coral that’s so big it’s visible from space. It’s now considered the world’s largest. Best of all: it’s not yet harmed by climate change & global warming.
It’s being called a beacon of hope. Let it also be a call to action! #DoSomething 🧵

Instagram is all videos now and I miss the days when my photography had a fighting chance of being seen. So here’s an Oregon waterfall from a few years ago.

I love that everyone is reaching for community and #solarpunk values even if they don’t call it that <3
This is where resilience is found and we know it instinctively.

New piece is live. This one is about how to survive and resist fascism: not big and fast, but small and steady.
Understand that what we are about to experience will be heavy repression, along with a goal to break us apart and isolate us. We have to start building strong, resilient communities.

I decided I used to be afraid to upset people and not let them know my opinion, but I’m done with that. All I can think if T and his friends want democracy to burn? I’d rather try to defend democracy and be one of the first to go with it rather than quietly watch democracy die.
