Resistance is calling out the misogyny, racism, bigotry, and forced religious views when you see or hear them. Keep resisting!

The female cardinal is underway, about half way there I reckon. I’m recording a timelapse to share with you too of her being painted.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.
I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Nearly 50 and I finally found out my blood type. (A-) Rachel had to learn how to do this and do blood draws as part of her doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine. Her test is tomorrow and I was her study practice, lol.

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

What a timeline! For those that don’t know, China has been slowly enveloping Russia’s land over in northern Siberia and Putin cannot do much about it because his military is so spread out.

A lone hot air balloon drifts above Arches National Park, floating over layered sandstone formations and distant mesas softened by morning haze.

There were quite a few there. Most were generally lined up in two rows and people could walk between them

A few pictures focusing on the same balloon, first two different exterior angles and then one from directly underneath (standing inches from the bakery) and looking inside one. I'd never seen one from this angle before, so that was interesting
