Artomyces pyxidatus, the Crown-tipped Coral or Candelabra Coral fungus, was not seen in the UK over the entire 20th century, its last record in 1886 until a spate of recent findings around 2022, which is when I found this specimen (in East Kent). Where did it disappear all this time?

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Allow me a moment away from my hiking and history posts. I've been seeing lots of videos lately that seem to be produced with AI. I am calling on my Senator to pass a law requiring all AI generated content be labeled as such, and requiring capability for consumers to opt out. Please join me.

America First?

If Prop 50 fails — we’ll never put a check on Trump, who just gave $40 billion to Argentina while raising funds for his gilded ballroom instead of continuing SNAP benefits for struggling Americans.

VOTE #YesOnProp50 and get your ballot in!

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I’ll be reviewing and sharing my paintings created throughout the years that are inspired by, incorporate or highlight the Divine Feminine. “Transition,” an artistic reminder that women brought all life into this world. The original is sold; but notecards are available.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. 

A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

Took a break at a backpack shelter yesterday, and found the fire pit smoldering. Breeze picked up, and a stick burst into open flame, with dry wood around. It was a fire poker stick someone had left outside the fire ring! If I hadn't happened along, could have been a forest fire! Douse your embers!

Grandma Gatewood had an amazing life story, surviving an extremely abusive marriage in an era of male supremacy, raising 11 children, and turning to hiking in her sixties. The publicity around her hikes helped revive the Appalachian trail. #hiking

The media was sure to make sure we knew Biden was old. But covering DT’s age and cognitive decline. . . Not so much.
