Who is Magnolia the Bus? She's a 45-foot 2000 Setra 217 high deck highway coach. We bought her in Redmond, Oregon, in 2021, and have been converting her into our tiny home on wheels for the past 3 and a half years. We'll move into Maggie at the end of February! Thanks for following our journey!

The year of courage, day 52:

Every layer tells a story
Of the courage required
To build what resides
In your imagination
The day you stuffed the walls
With insulation
The day you decided on
Morning breeze for the color
To paint the surface
The day you woke up and knew
You'd be okay

The year of courage, day 47:

We wrap ourselves
In reference
In every direction seeking
A place to land
A lake of meaning to float upon
If the lake is your hand
And your hand is a thought
We have collectively agreed upon

The year of courage, day 46:

The line from yesterday
To tomorrow is not a
Cloudy sky
Or race track horses
Galloping in circles
But the line also doesn't exist
Outside your mind the time
Is a conglomerate
Of sensation and task
Fingers holding a tight rope
Not your fingers
Not your rope

Trump has announced that schools, hospitals, and churches are no longer out-of-bounds for ICE raids. If you see ICE activity anywhere, REPORT it to the ICE Raid hotline, so defenders can be mobilized to the scene, as legal observers, to assist escapes and disruption of raids.Share this meme widely.

We received more gifts today! Can't wait to show everyone what friends and family have sent us. We'll have our bus warming party in April, and we'll make a video showing off our gifts then! Thanks to Misty, Jill, and Cody for these gifts!

Three things. 1. Let our allies in other countries know that we support them.2. Participate in boycotts. 3. Find a place for joy and enthusiasm in your day. Those are both forms of resistance. Love your neighbors. We can do this.

We bought coconut coir peat brick to use in our composting toilet, and I tried it out for the first time today. Worked great!

Installing ceiling panels and picking out wall color sure is fun!

I love living in Philly.
Philadelphia Eagles in 2018, and a fan this year.
We have better morals and more metal than the entire Trump's Pathocracy and his base combined.

I spent most of my Friday building our composting toilet. That's what I call a good time! (It's about 75% finished. Still have to cover the top with aluminum, add the seat, and install the exhaust fan)

Baby got some new shoes!

Maggie's got new shoes!

8 new tires.

We picked her up from the shop very early this morning and dropped her back off where we're working on her, and we were tired and it was dark so no snaps I'm afraid. Not yet, anyway.

Eek! Maggie's been in the shop since Friday and I am like a parent when their kid is away in school for the first time!
