The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

Staying at a friend's house and found a deck. I decided to draw a few cards. Love this draw -
I am visiting my home town to celebrate my brother's birthday and the next few days are going to be filled with good times with people I love 🥰

New bird species spotted at the pond today! First time seeing Tree Swallows in the winter. There were about 20 of these guys flying near the surface of the water. Today they shared the pond with mergansers and a blue heron - next time I'll bring the camera
