My plans for Thanksgiving weekend are clear, I'm not shopping at Target, HomeDepot or Amazon 🚫🚫🚫. I'm so over corporations that back the admins policies, cave to anti-DEI pressure, let ICE terrorize our communities, and chase tax breaks while people go hungry. #WeAintBuyingIt!

Incredible day at #NoKings in Bellingham, WA. There’s nothing like common cause (and singing!) to bring people together!

@mariapopova.bsky.social's Marginalian has been a constant in my life for over 10 years. This image is from her Almanac of Birds: 100 Divinations for Uncertain Days. This morning's edition of her newsletter is such a good read for these uncertain times: mailchi.mp/themarginali...

Sadly, this is what I get when I click the link. Same thing happened with the link sent to my email, too. Any suggestions?

cool wind in summer, snow in winter.

During the winter here in Bellingham, Mother Nature gives us an awe-inspiring show almost every night. It’s like she knows we need a glimmer to get us through.

Listened to Dolores Huerta in an interview with Julia Louis Dreyfus right after a Zoom with Indivisibles last night. Talk about timing! So inspiring.
