Kyiv with lights on.
We have more electricity today than yesterday.
Still, emergency outages in our part of the city (no schedules).
And this snow 🤩
I take every single good something and cherish it.

It always amazes me how we keep going after the attacks,
amid power outages and the absence of the normality you’re used to.
Maybe we don’t even think about the “how.”
We just go on.

You can see this quite often in Kyiv.
The message reads:
“This square meter of Ukrainian land is under the protection of the Ground Forces. Like every other one.”

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

How did Ukrainian Cossacks begin the New Year?
Not with celebrations, but with responsibility and choice.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic.
It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today.
Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.
Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.
Another reason for Medicare for All.

Here's a shot I got in May of a Cliff Swallow colony on the central coast. There were so many nests I lost count and I can't wait to get back there in 2026!

Welcome to my last day of Bond-mas! Here's my favorite Bond film, Skyfall (2012).
A beautiful blend of sets, locations, and action with an iconic villain and a... convoluted plot.
Just don't ask me about the sequels, lol.
