Boomer against Trump and for all good humans. Trying to be hopeful in these dystopian times. Also a mom, granny, and lover of night skies, Northern Lights and travel to photograph it all. (If you send me a "hello beautiful" message, I will block you.)

An unelected broligarch and his merry band of unripened incels have hacked our bank accounts, Bird flu is raging, TB is is spreading, planes are falling out of the sky, Trump’s planning Gaz-a-Largo and eggs are more expensive than ever, but at least we’re getting plastic straws back.

I’m sorry, but if you still drive a Tesla, I will look at you w/scorn.
If you’re not MAGA, turn it in. There are too many other options that don’t include tacitly supporting a self-purported Nazi who is involved in a coup against the US govt, including having access to your SSN. #Swasticar

Every day my blood pressure keeps going up. I have to find ways to keep it down. Going on bird walks with my camera helps a lot. Here's a few from today with a white squirrel thrown in just because they're so damn cute.

The surest way to protect our Constitution is to act and talk like we still have one.

It's in the 60's here today but I much prefer the icy weather we had last week. This is Looking Glass Falls in Pisgah National Forest after a few days in the teens.

One more bird for your enjoyment. The red bellied woodpecker is a frequent visitor and he's just super cool looking. I managed to follow him to some nearby trees. His arrival daily makes me happy in these dark times.

Time for a bird photo for a break from nonstop depressing politics and destruction. Pileated woodpeckers are not uncommon in these parts but I've never seen one at a bird feeder that didn't include suet. After he showed up, I bought a suet feeder, put it up and he's not been back. 🤷

Senator Bennet might have just ended RFK Jr.'s chances of being nominated as HHS Secretary. Watch how he cuts through the BS and asks the tough questions.

Trump is a known liar who has repeatedly refused to pay his workers. Any federal employee who takes the buyout, even for the right reasons, should be concerned that they might not get the severance they were promised.
Don't trust him.
