Good morning. I aim to regularly share a photo either recently made or from cutting room floor.
From my recent trip researching #bogs in Ireland (I #AmWriting about bogs, #IronAge Bog People, death, photography and preservation for my current MFA):
Here are some magnificent, 200+ year old beeches.

First, an earthquake hit Alaska. Then it was a typhoon. People turned to public radio for lifesaving information. Sen. Lisa Murkowski tried to get her colleagues to understand the importance of stations.
They voted to defund public media anyway.

Anything supporting the rights of those who are not white, cisgender males apparently violates 'human' rights. This is fascism. Fascism. Fascism. It's control over the bodies of anyone who not white/cisgender/male. Trump and his cronies terrified of humans asserting rights that don't match theirs.

Zohran Mamdani standing beside the President of the United States just said that the US is funding Israel's genocide and yet can't take care of its own unhoused children on live television.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Censorship is a tool of fascism. Never capitulate.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Always sharing any glimpse of good news. What a beautiful being. We must learn to be guardians of our planet as Indigenous Peoples are and protect the more-than-human from extinction (along with ourselves.) We do this by protecting our planet and working in balance and sustainability with it.
One of the world’s rarest birds has rebounded from near extinction after Indigenous communities in Bali committed to protect it under traditional laws, Mongabay contributor Heather Physioc reported.
In 2001, just six Bali starlings were known to live in the wild. By 2021, there were roughly 520.
