What do you write? I was asked this question recently and fumbled the answer. I'm part of a group of writers exploring Thruopia- ways forward toward a future we would be proud to leave our children. To me that always feels clunky. Curious if others writing in related genres have compelling pitches.

Can any one of the people calling for Chuck Schumer’s head please explain to me the strategy they would prefer? Seriously I am all for strong resistance but I don’t see a strategy in democrats closing the govt. Schumer made the best of two very bad choices and I applaud his courage.

The ultimate irony of all this madness is to watch the Drill Baby Drill gang start buying EVs.

staring at my screen, waiting for the words to come. image appears. One I've never seen before- deep in a redwood forest. Coincidence? I'm finally reading the Overstory. So many feels from this brilliant book, mainly a reminded I need to spend more time in the woods, listening, sitting, being.

So confused. The original legislation to ban TikTok came from Josh Hawley, a hard core Maga republican. It passed house and Senate by bipartisan majorities. It was opposed by ACLU and other "leftist" groups. Now we need to keep it? Who's making money off this reversal?

Social media seems to have run its course. Do miss the opportunity to stay in touch with distant friends and family but not worth the constant stream of junk. Hope you're staying warm and well up in the far north

Long admired Jimmy Carter and much moved by his funeral. Would hope we take this moment as inspiration to recommit to his ideals. Truth, respect, and concern for our neighbors are timeless and much needed.
