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.

Trump pulled the US out of the World Health Organisation yesterday.
In response California has become the first state to join the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network.
If this is the start of a pattern Americans will only be safe in Blue states.

Listen—there are cracks of light. AI bros are scared because their toys aren’t selling. People are not lying down in front of ICE. We are seeing organization of everyday people and community support. And what you do to resist or aid, however small, contributes to the good. Keep hope.

Shame on mainstream media for framing headlines that belie who holds power here.
More accurate headlines:
"Canada pushes back over lack of clarity or real commitment in Trump's 'Board of Peace'"
"Trump sulks, disinvites Canada from 'Board of Peace' as Carney challenges its intent and integrity."

#ClimateCrisis is real and worsens daily w/o action. Billionaires try to distract us to increase gains while denying reality. Every vote cast from today must prioritize our planet, divest from fossil fuels, look to sustainable, clean energy. Less car dependence. Less beef consumption. Less greed.

Hand-stencil motifs found in caves in Sulawesi, Indonesia, dating to at least 67,800 years ago, may be the oldest rock art discovered, according to a study in Nature. These findings support the theory that early humans migrated to Sahul via a northern route through Sulawesi. 🏺 🧪

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

🧵Canadian friends: if you want to vote for the next leader of the NDP, you have *just one week left* to buy a (cheap) party membership.
After that, there will be a big English debate and lots of media coverage, but it will be too late to have a say.
Only members can vote for leader.
