Anne-what do you think about adding some resources on understanding differences in how people take in information and make decisions eg guides to the Myers-Briggs personality types or the Enneagram? For me, these have been so helpful in accepting that differences can be appreciated not derided.

Thank you! I had to leave after just one day because my husband had a medical emergency plus a diagnosis of Covid and influenza. But in that day, I got to see many Green Jays, a Sprague’s Pipit, Plain Chachalaca and a Green Parakeet, all life birds, plus Great Kiskadee. I’ll be back!

My UU church had a service of inclusion for nonbinary gendered and transfolk. Gotta love UU’s. It was moving, grounding and challenging, just what church should be.

Yes, and I’d bet that almost all of them have someone they know who is affected by the cuts and biased actions-like a nephew who works as a scientist on a NSF grant, neighbor whose grandchild is trans, college aged son who is a probationary employees or park ranger, military spouse who got fired.

Thanks, they are always a much welcomed harbinger of spring here. We see them only in migration. Last year, my first was March 31, earliest ever.

Are you reading A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel? What a great book about the French Revolution. Tyranny begets tyranny.
