On the move: a coyote story (2025) #ArtAdventCalendar #Photography
Photograph of a coyote trotting away from the viewer across a frozen river. Behind it is a winding trail of footprints in the snow and its shadow stretches across the ice to its left.

How can Danielle Smith claim to barely know the man at the center of the CorruptCare scandal when she's had dinner at his house, met with him multiple times, and her closest advisors include five members of his family?

The Russia-Ukraine peace deal that is not happening, the second strike, ordered by Hegseth in the Caribbean, and now attacking by land in Venezuela: these are all shiny coins used by Trump to distract from the Epstein files

Exciting #FeederWatch day yesterday. First time in 10 yrs of records, we logged a White-throated Sparrow. It was hanging out in a big flock of House Sparrows. Sneaky! (reminder to scrutinize those flocks 🤓)
Two sparrows resting in the shelter of brown leaves. The one on the right has a white patch on its chin and a yellow spot next to its beak. Two sparrows resting in the shelter of brown leaves. The one on the right has a white patch on its chin and a yellow spot next to its beak.

This holiday season, opt out of shopping at big-name retailers like Amazon or Target, and get your gifts from a Latino-owned small business instead. Every dollar spent at a local neighborhood shop is an investment in our communities. Shop small! 🎁

Fatbergs. The quiet scourge of the municipal underworld. They slowly build up their fatty, fetid presence until they block the sewers they inhabit. All it takes is one plastic wet wipe to get them started. The UK, boldly but sensibly, has now banned these wily fatberg-starters.

“When we acknowledge what we are grateful for, every situation feels a little more workable.” Susan David.

Noticing the smaller everyday moments changes far more than we realise. Gratitude gives a little breathing room to move through today and everyday!

🧡

#kindness #Thanksgiving #gratitude
A hand drawn illustration of an orange prescription-style medicine bottle with a loosely sketched, ridged white lid. On the label, the word “GRATITUDE RX” is written in large, uneven, handwritten black letters. Beneath it, the label is divided into four horizontal sections outlined in orange. The first section has a small yellow sun beside the words “Take a dose every morning,” handwritten in black. The second section shows a blue eye symbol and the words “May cause shifts in perspective.” The third section features a pink heart icon next to the words “May cause feelings of abundance.” The fourth and final section shows a red circle with a diagonal line through it and the words “Decreased feelings of fear and anxiety.” The drawing has a soft, warm, uplifting feel, offering the idea of gratitude as a daily prescription for wellbeing.

"Arnulfo" shares, "These are heads of broccoli that I've harvested. I've been working in the fields of CAs Central Coast for 21 years. I plant and grow broccoli, lettuce, cauliflower, and other vegetables you probably will see on your #Thanksgiving tables." #WeFeedYou

A fascinating read on star blanket designs and meanings. "Quilts made by Lakota, Dakota, Nakota, Ojibwe, Cree, and other Plains women draw simultaneously on Euro-American patchwork conventions and on older Indigenous cosmologies, kinship structures, and practices of gift-giving." #Indigenous

More than 90% of new renewable power projects commissioned last year were more cost-effective than any new fossil fuel alternatives.

Those renewables projects will save tens of billions of dollars in fossil-fuel costs
