The local farm stand is looking good : )

I’m so sorry for your loss, what a beautiful kitty. Is that forget me not growing next to him?

This music has healing powers. Love this version of Tom Petty's "Wildflowers" by the Wailin' Jennys. I saw them live a few months ago, they were SO GOOD!

When I think of hard times in the past I have started to envision myself at that time in my life. Then I visualize my present self giving my past self a hug. It is a powerful exercise for me and I'm sharing this new found tool with anyone who will listen. 🫂

I believe this is connected to the christian nationalist belief that women deserve to suffer pregnancy and menstrual pain to pay for what Eve did. It also stinks of blaming any challenges with children or bringing pregnancy to term on women. The cruelty is the point.

I treated myself to halibut and chips. Oregon halibut is one of my greatest pleasures in this life when cooked right. Have mercy it was good!

Deep fried halibut fish and waffle cut chips. Served with cilantro and lime slaw, lemon, tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. Sitting on a table with an Oregon coast sunset.

I also had a visceral reaction.

Indeed. But I will still try to bear witness to injustice. Resistance is NOT futile.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

A guide at the museum told me about it. At first I thought he was joking because the name sounded silly to me!
I loved the Mary Rose Museum, it was so well done. I have been singing its praises since I got back from my visit to the UK.
