Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon is a powerful story of justice and resilience. I gave it 4 stars for its portrayal of a 54-year-old midwife who relentlessly pursues truth and justice. A compelling read full of feminine rage. Fits for prompts 9, 16(nominated?), 32, 33, 43 #52bookclub

We enjoyed a snowy hike at Runge. Our parks are such a blessing… We also picked up some red wigglers from a local worm breeder to start indoor composting. Did you know they can break down pizza boxes and other cardboard? Make sure there are no stickers or cheese. #vermiculture #composting #hiking

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Political fear, media polarization, and identity-driven politics have fueled exhaustion and learned helplessness in Americans, leading many to disengage from political news. #Politics #PoliticalNews #MediaPolarization #Neuroscience #Exhaustion

I wish I had a cosco nearby. Target is among a number of retailers ending DEI initiatives. Others include Meta, Walmart, and McDonalds.

Two bookmarks in progress for the latest two books I’ve read. Hopefully I can paint them tomorrow but I like how the sketches turned out! #booksky #wip

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

Guess the books from the bookmarks! I’m trying to do the #52BookClub challenge this year… and make a bookmark for every book. These are the first three challenges. #booksky #gouache #art

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

What are your reading? I’m working on challenge 4: starts with an N with The Nordic Theory of Everything. I’m too broke and busy with kids to travel so exploring other cultures though books is my only option. This is a look at a Finnish immigrant’s comparison of American and Nordic culture & policy.

I’m DogEarsHappyTales over there too!
