"For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear." ~ Henry Beston

When the system breaks down, there are many unthinkable things that happen. To me, this is one of the worst. No one should die in pain.

My mom came home from the hospital today for Hospice comfort care. She gets oral morphine every two hours.

The crazy part is that the entire country is running out of morphine. Doctors & nurses here in Ohio are panicking along with me.

The whole thing is a performative joke to make the Rtump administration look good. Heartbreaking for the people. The genocide continues.

This is a disaster lurking on the sidelines waiting for its' moment. Yet again, we humans, ignore the science and "hope" for the best.

The patterns in nature are amazing. I could look at these Aspen leaves all day.

She is not a witch. That is insulting to witches. You spell it with a "B" and it's an evil one at that.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Today, I honor Indigenous Peoples Day—a celebration of living cultures, enduring wisdom, and the right to thrive.

A recognition of the brilliance, resilience, and leadership of Indigenous communities who have survived centuries of harm and continue to shape our shared future.
