Summer is coming to an end. In the fall, I’m heading back to university. This blog shares my journey as an adult learner. The mushrooms are from our roadtrip to see a friend in Virginia. Rising from the trunk of a fallen tree like the Phoenix from the ashes 😆.

Here is my latest on the threats facing travellers going into the United States.
This is no longer a nation under the rule of law. The United States has been taken over by political ideology abusing power to carry out political vendettas.
This is fascism.

We need to trust our eyes.

Nazi salutes, racist purges, an ambush on the Ukrainian president by a far-right regime. If what we see aligns with what we know and is also in line with an established track record, our default assumption should be that what is happening is actually what it looks like.
