At some point we are going to have to deal with the uncomfortable truth that there is a genuine lack of research into the impact of environmental exposures on chronic disease, and that has been a major factor driving formerly reasonable people into the antivax, raw milk, beef tallow wellness cults.
Scientists Thought Parkinson’s Was in Our Genes. It Might Be in the Water
New ideas about chronic illness could revolutionize treatment, if we take the research seriously.

#ArtAdventCalendar 10/24 a moody #murmuration from the spring of 2019. I see these often and they never fail to thrill me, big flocks of little birds, all moving as one despite the wind and weather. #photography #canonphotography #oregoncoast

#ArtAdventCalendar 9/24 - from the long strange summer of 2020, a beautiful eerie #landscape near Kalaloch in Olympic National Park. One of my last solo camping trips; maybe someday I can go again. #photography #canonphotography

Beautiful!
#ArtAdventCalendar day 8, a sneaky shot in a café in the last days before the start of the pandemic. Mamiya C220, using CatLabs 80 film, which might be white labelled Shanghai GP3 but who knows. No light meter, just winging it.

#ArtAdventCalendar 6/24 from August, 2 #pelicans. Summer is not my favorite season (fall is my time) but I love it despite myself for the pelicans who spend it here. I love watching them so much. #ocean #birding #photography #canonphotography

This was Thanksgiving, when it was raining outside - bad, and we should fix it - and everyone was in the kitchen - good, because it makes snagging them with your claws so delightfully easy. Mr. Binks, my evil cat.

18”x24” oil painting of a graveyard in autumn among a hilly landscape. The sky has yellows, reds, oranges and purples of sunset. A pumpkin sits against a large, bare tree, with gravestones dotting the landscape and into the distance.

The US is close to an institutional collapse across multiple public health agencies. Trump/RFK have purged anyone with expertise, many have fled and they’ve been replaced w functionaries who are either incompetent or malicious. I don’t think many understand how close to the edge we are right now.

#ArtAdventCalendar 4/24 originally shot on Tri X with an 80s Praktica in probably 2019 or thereabouts? Then I tinted a scan in photoshop. Forgot about it, recently rediscovered, stuck it up on the wall & decided it was OK after all. #photography #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm #oregoncoast

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 2: Diary Madrid
A visual diary or artist’s journal is a good way to observe, record thoughts, experiences & memories, use watercolor, pencil & ink, and do some urban sketching. Fun & meaningful.

#ArtAdventCalendar 2/24 this is a fast acrylic sketch on a small canvas I did last summer outside with my granddaughter, drinking a margarita and painting while she drew with crayons and played with Barbies.
