What an effective way to highlight the importance of an individual organism. I could easily see a large panoramic piece showing the common ancestors to all species.
"I Contain Multitudes"
This digitally painted piece honors coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our cities and the wilderness today.
The thread gives descriptions of all the extinct organisms shown in this piece (not to scale)

Wonderful
Today is the 10th anniversary of Ireland's gender recognition act. Ireland's gender recognition is through self-declaration without the need for permission from a doctor, panel or judge etc. In the past decade nothing bad happened.

So empowering.
"But one of the most important, and most overlooked, functions of protest is to prevent the dreaded “spiral of silence,” which can begin when people wrongly believe that their own point of view is not widely shared." #StandUp #Resist

Trump is planning on deforesting all of the old growth forests including the redwoods that are more than a thousand yrs old. There is no upside.
Please call your representatives. This will not only destroy precious legally protected trees, but also our climate

Modern transportation usually indicates flying. In older times it meant, socializing, rest stops, shared experiences of far places, and of course, greater travel times. Travel today seems to happen in our minds, aided of course, by this small device and what it connects to.

I bought “The Overstory” by Richard Powers on September 15th, 2021.
I finished it today. Unlike any book I have ever read, it demanded to be read at the speed of trees.
A bit here, a bit there, in deep ruminating cycles for four years. I have no idea why it happened this way.
Transcendent.

This lovely poem, “Allowables”, is in the spirit of one of my favorite poems: The Fly by William Blake.
I return to this poem often, and have posted it around my neighborhood when the times call for it.
Today is as good as any day to return to it.

Do vote. It is one simple thing you can do that has a definite effect.
The US political system isn't perfect but that won't stop me from participating in the process.
A lot of people will be voting for the first time, but that can't happen unless you're registered, and depending on where you live, time is running out. vote.gov/register

Project 2025 would sabotage science-based policies that address climate change, the environment, abortion, health care access, technology and education. It would impose religious and conservative ideology on the federal civil service. Read Scientific American's analysis of its threats 🧪
