I’ve been seeing quite a few Monarchs lately, but this was the first time I’ve seen this beauty.
🦋🌸

A Queen Butterfly on a pink Cosmos. The upper side of their wings are a deep orange with the black edges and little white spots, more white spots curves across the wings. Blurry flowers, other foliage and trees are in the background.

A Queen Butterfly and a Skipper share a pink zinnia. The underside of the Queen is similar to the Monarch and Viceroy with its own little details. The stem of the flower and another stem and leaves are visible on the left side and the background is an overhead door and a little bit of awning.

I've got a ton of images in the Autumn Lights Festival this week. Come see it! Bring the kids! It's a super fun time. There'll be food trucks, a wine bar, and of course a million amazing light-based art installations.

Here are the remnants of a massive star that ignited in 1054. Ancient astronomers marveled at how they could see the supernova even during the day. All that's left today is the faint, colorful smudge called the Crab Nebula.

Organizing is essential. Courage is contagious. Social proof is persuasive.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

Just a thought:

How about we turn #NoKings into a PARTY!!!

Bring your signs, but dress up, or wear blinky lights, halos, wings, clown shoes, tutus, dino/frog/etc costumes, etc.

MAKE IT FUN, AND MAKE FUN OF MAGA INSANITY

Here's the reality: On any given day the President might impose an effective embargo on trade with China. This is the second time he's done it *this year*. They may patch it up again, but the pattern has been set, and it will shape expectations for the rest of his term.
