An illustration of a young women yanking a weed out of a bed of marigolds. The primary colours of the piece are deep green and a saffron yellow, with some brown and moss green tones as well. The camera is looking up at the young girl with a forced perspective, as she pulls out the weed while leaning back. The text reads: PULL FASCISM UP BY THE ROOT.

Mushrooms sprout in a damp pasture along the #UmpquaRiver in SW #Oregon as fall colors brighten the landscape. Seasonal rains have brought a spurt of new fungi growth across the region #macrophotography #nature #mushrooms #photography

A tall mushroom grows against a wall of dark brown soil and bright green moss. Its stipe is white and has a chunk missing from it, likely due to being eaten by a slug. A skirt of white mushroom flesh hangs against the stipe right underneath the cap. The cap is a gorgeous blend of yellow at the edge of the cap, to orange, and then red at the top of the cap.
