Amazing!! Women Help Women (womenhelp.org) is manufacturing their own abortion pills in order to make abortion safer, simpler and more accessible across borders. They designed an eco-friendly combi-pack that's easier to mail discreetly and centred around women’s experiences and needs.

My shy heart always felt the wall
afraid to seek the platform’s light
but when the words began to fall
the need to heal outshone the fright

Pre-Sunrise Alpenglow

Let's all have a great day, Bluesky!

Alpenglow on clouds during civil twilight: a winter-ish sunrise glows pink and orange beneath gray clouds, with tall bare trees silhouetted against the sky above a fenced pasture.

I stood there
flabbergasted
gobsmacked by the moment
dumbfounded at the audacity of it all

Nonplussed
befuddled
utterly flummoxed
and yes
fully discombobulated

Trying to remember
which way was up
before the world
started laughing again

Puppy, aka "The Garden Guardian," a brown and white beagle, stands on bright, sunny, spring grass of a backyard garden. In the midground are several rows of healthy green raspberry bushes, and a metal raised garden bed full with green plants. In the background is the back of a house under a clear blue sky.

Sunrise, 12 Dec 2025 over a horse pasture. The golden sun is seen in the lower right corner peaking over distant trees. In the foreground are 4 leafless trees in silhouette. The sky a clear blue.

Sneazel the Weasel, he wiggles, he zips,
He quiggles through tunnels and flips when he slips.
He zops from the log with a snicker and squeal,
and flampers off laughing, his sights on a meal!
