I got a checkmark! Orange checkmark on white background = 100+ paid subscribers, “Best Seller” in #Substack vernacular. I've been writing on Substack for almost 2 years and nurturing my readers along the way, grateful for this landmark. #writing #livelihood

This is a drop in the bucket, but it's still a good idea with #SNAP benefits not coming through for so many starting Nov 1. Tuck something extra into those #Halloween treat bags.

This might be a good time for a news fast. As important it is to be informed, the next few days and weeks will be filled with the kind of spin that can only mess us up. Find a place to sit, dance, put your hands in the earth, time in nature. Whatever is your medicine, double dose. #mindfulness

I don't usually use them because #NewMexico photos are so dramatic on their own, but filters can be fun! This pic was taken at the #SantaFe Opera on a rainy night last week. I could feel the moodiness of it but wanted to bring it out more in abstract form. This is the Gothic filter in Prisma.

Joanna Macy is an ancestor now. What a gift it has been for us to have her on the planet these past 96 years. May we carry her legacy onward, ever loving the Earth and all her creatures.

Maybe #SCOTUS can clear the way for its own dissolution because it sure as hell isn't doing a damn thing to uphold the Constitution or provide checks and balances to an out of control executive branch. WTF.

Summer backyard harvest… Plums!

Guessing this is a bot/AI account which is mis-quoting Thich Nhat Hanh and including (probaby bogus) links to buy things on Amazon. Stay away.

Just got this propaganda email from the Social Security Admin. The bullshit is running deep, folks.

If the heat is getting to you, wherever you're at on the planet, and you need some cooling vibes, here's a backyard video from earlier this week when #NewMexico got some wonderfully gentle rain. enjoy!

Proud to say I'm an #Angeleno, born and raised in #Pasadena. Those folks are fierce. I know they're not going to back down, and they're going to watch out for their family, friends, and neighbors. Read the history of the #ZootSuit riots.

Two giant egos explode into war with one another. Shocked, I tell you, I'm shocked.

If you're new to Bluesky and adjusting from FB, yep, the way the platforms work is different. It helps to make use of Feeds and Lists. I've created "Resistance: Spiritual Nourishment," "Resistance: Effective Action" lists and more to help me find folks I respect. You're welcome to look at them:
