Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Berry palette, November.
As ever zoom in to the details if anxiety's lurking - looking at botanical patterns helps us recover from stress 60% more quickly.
Also the pink Rowan & spindle...I mean...Barbie berries🍒💅🩷

When part of the rigid, patriarchal definition of masculinity is muscle-bound physicality, anyone outside of the "real man" matrix putting on muscle challenges that image.

Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”.
We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want.

A thought experiment: would you rather a) drink milk you didn't know was spoiled, or b) accidentally drop the milk jug on the floor, discovering it was sour (and lumpy!) as you clean up the puddle?

Some TUVU Trivia! 🧵

Our next Scary Season 🎃 critter is the Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) which gets a bad rap for their role as nature's Carrion Cleaning Crew.
They have a huge range from Eastern US down to South America.
Here's an interesting fact: you've never heard a vulture call because they don't have one.

CPR mannequins are always a bit disturbing. The babies? 100x more so.

Anyone can become disabled.
Anyone can lose their job.
Anyone can become homeless.
Anyone can go hungry.
These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.
Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.
We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

Archaeologists at Pompeii uncovered a fresco depicting a meal of a flat bread round covered in herbed cheese (called 'moretum'). That's right, a PROTO-PIZZA.
But modern pizza, as served from Tokyo to Rome itself, was probably invented in New York.
