I just want the many ecosystems of the Earth to thrive. Why is that so much to ask, Homo sapiens? Why?

Just suggested this to the many people in Oakland I know opposing Home Depot and ICE.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

What are folks using as a music alternative to Spotify? I've built some significant playlists I don't want to lose but I gotta dump their butt.

No time to search for staring birds today, so instead you get this lovely Oystercatcher I saw oh so briefly yesterday.

I cannot bear to think we have to wade through all this sexual assault and violence news AGAIN and in the end it will just be the same old sigh and move on. But the breathless news coverage of these vile people and what they did with so little attention to the victims leaves me little hope.

I’ve noticed in the last two weeks that all the cyber trucks are hitting the road again after being too scared to drive around. I make sure to give them all the finger and take photos of them to intimidate them. #FuckElon #CyberTruck #Tesla #EatTheRich
