HOW TO BE MORE TREE: Essential Life Lessons for Perennial Happiness, illustrated by Annie Davidson & written by Liz Marvin. I open it on a daily basis, closing my eyes and opening randomly as the YOSHINO CHERRY on pg. 65 advised, "Live in the moment" and I shall attempt to do so today and all days.

We (Kindred and I) are attending the NO KINGS progest on the 18th that begins at noon; we're planning to be there by 11:30. It would be so much fun to meet and join in together! Any chance?

Oh, dear! Call out the FROGS!

Anne Morin @anneart9.bsky.social · 10h

Pee You, Mr. Tyou!

Anne Morin @anneart9.bsky.social · 10h

I'll take one of those! They must be selling like pondcakes in Portland and its area!

Anne Morin @anneart9.bsky.social · 10h

Can't wait for the next Portland protest so that Kindred and I can zoom in our Zoomer wearing our new FROG HATS! We are so excited!

Anne Morin @anneart9.bsky.social · 10h

Just bought frog hats for my little dog, Kindred Spirit, and me for the next protest. We will arrive in my Zoomer, she reclining either in her attached basket or in my arms. Just hope I'll know when we can shine!👽

So curious. Wouldn't the choice of that particular site be a reasonable concern about the criminal's political motivation? bsky.app/profile/gett...

The vandalism did not appear to have been politically motivated, according to the Washington State Patrol, which said that a suspect was in custody. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

Make those calls - in our communities, our cities, our counties, our states - anywhere you can! Postcards can be fun. Find a couple and send them where key people (or their workers) will look before they look over!

This. I know that laughter, humor, fun are the best we have to quell the horror that is going on in our city, our state, our country, the world. bsky.app/profile/anat...

Resistance. Refusal. Ridicule. Those are the ingredients to bring down regimes and among them ridicule is arguably the most delicious. The emperor isn't just naked; his goon squad is afraid of an inflatable frog.
Portland is TOO FABULOUS FOR FASCISM.

The same nation should not have a few jackpot-winning billionaires and, at the same time, tens of millions struggling to get by.

The DOW is surging, too, I see, during our shut down. Such a coinicdence!

I am so relieved that many are attempting to wake our people up! Thanks for information like this; we can add it to our volumes of reasons to put this guy in jail, where he belongs.

Yikes. Guess I'll celebrate my 84th in a little box on the corner! Fun times. So glad our government uses our taxes so wisely!

We were reading that poem during a writing gathering, and then it was suggested that we use the meter and style of her poem to write our own poem. This was what my Muse provided.

Illusory truth effect: PROPAGANDA - cognitive bias in which a person is more likely to believe a statement is true simply because they heard it repeated multiple times. Research shows that hearing a lie repeated even after initially knowing it to be false makes it feel more truthful over time.
