Western NC. I live in a red county but a temperate rainforest so it sorta evens out. Trans ally. Politics and ecology, biodiversity, soil science. Poets always welcome.
And fittingly, the press conference today was held outside the International Civil Rights Museum, housed in the Woolworths where in 1960, 4 NCA&T students refused to leave after being denied service, starting the sit-in movement.

Just came from a press conference decrying the continued detainment of Mohamed Naser. Although a judge granted bail pending trial, ICE invoked a little-used rule to keep him. A good portion of the crowd were neighbors holding the sign "I ❤️ Mo."

Totally forgot this was coming and just opened my mailbox woohoo! Thanks, @asherelbein.bsky.social ! Only regret I didn't plan my day so I could sit down and devour the whole thing right now. (Reposted with alt texr).

Not the most spectacular wildflower photo, but grateful I live in a place where we have a couple hundred different types of native wildflowers that bloom in an astounding succession - every week and sometimes day-to-day the dominant blooms change. There is good in this world.
