Oops, I read the news and I'm full of disappointment and anger! Whoopsies! Here's something more hopeful from my garden. I gave them some pointers on crossing the southern borders on their journey. Burner phone, &c.

it's a big step!

You're told it'll sabotage your career if you're a vocally politically opinionated, queer, woman. But things sabotaging my career are systemic xenophobia, sexism, and horrible job market. Which are a direct consequences of people not being vocally opinionated in the first place.

The 3 Rs are the big ones: rate, review, recommend. Even short reviews help, wherever you bought the book or any online store. Some will let you review without a purchase. If a store or library doesn't have the book you wamt request it
Everything else is a more systemic change

People have accused my macro photos of being AI which is such a bummer. Like yeah man bugs and crabs are weird but they really do act like that. That’s why nature is cool. AI has ruined weird little guy photography.
