I've been taking a picture straight up at the sky every morning when I walk the dog for over 4 months. It's become a lovely ritual & I love seeing the patterns over time (like the sky is much bluer in April & you can the wildfire smoke effect in June). #naturelover #mindfulness #photoprompt #skies
Watching videos of #gabbypetito I remember that feeling.
To anyone still living this -- reach out for help, make a safety plan, and get away.

today
I woke up
and decided
to dress in
stillness

#SenseWrds 94

I've declared today a couch day
To rest my injured hip or heart
(Also injured, but whose isn't?)
But still I am at my desk, peering down
At the weathered road
That I love for its emptiness
And still I hear my grandmothers:
No rest. Just guilt. Do more.
I bear the sin of stillness.

From Flower Girls (Floral Feminist Poems)

This activity was funded in part with a grant from Southwest Minnesota Arts Council made possible by the voters of Minnesota, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.

One of the pieces in Flower Girls (Floral Feminist Poems & Artwork). I did the art for this one, freehand with a mouse, which is surprisingly difficult. ;) afflink: amzn.to/4ez3Las
It has never been about anything but hate and scapegoating.

ICE are terrorists and traitors to the constitution.

I grew up in a working-class family. I’m running for Congress by day and waiting tables by night. I know what working families need because I’ve lived it — and I’ll fight for policies that work for us, not the wealthy and well-connected.

They plan to roll back green energy investments. That will spike our utility bills while warming our planet. A double hit only the GOP could conjure.
Love the start of this one and "useless sack." :)
My mother & aunts had a complicated relationship with religion, partly because of time they spent in a Catholic orphanage in the 1940's.
