Tree hugger. Animal lover. A bit of writing. A bit of photography. A bit of drawing. Gardening in the desert is very challenging, but I do it anyway.

Good advice from Poland.

In Poland, we know all about fighting illiberal regimes. Here are our lessons for the Trump age | Jarosław Kuisz and Karolina Wigura

Our political history is one of catastrophe, communism, and developing powerful antibodies against oppression, say Jarosław Kuisz and Karolina Wigura

Tyrants like Trump always fall – and we can already predict how he will be dethroned | Simon Tisdall

So...his approval rating is down. It could drop to 20 percent, or even less. But what does it matter in the long run?? It's not like he'll leave because people don't like him.
And I seriously doubt enough republicans will buck his current craziness.

I live in southern Nevada and growing veggies can be challenging. The sun can be brutal out here. I decided not try something different this year. I put my raised beds where they will get some shade this summer.
I have two large desert willows that hopefully will help.

It’s #InverteFest again! 🧪🐡🦋So here is my bee (and other pollinator) propaganda for Manufactured Ecosystems. Thinking about the future of pollination and seeking solutions from technological and nature-based knowledge. This is essentially my conclusion: we can aid our beleaguered pollinators 🧵

As described this 16” x 20” linocut print combines gold text in a central circle reading “OUR FATE” arching upwards, “IS TIED” horizontally across the middle, “TO THAT OF THE INSECTS” arching downwards in two lines with insects.
Clockwise from top: two leaf cutter bees (Megachile relativa and M. brevis), the Imperial moth (Eacles imperialis), the Virgin Tiger moth (Apantesis virgo), an Isabella’s Longwings butterfly (Nymphalidae Eueides isabella), a blue orchard mason bee (Osmia lignaria), a firefly (Photinus pyralis), the rusty patched bumblebee (Bombus affinis), a white underwing moth (Catocala relicta), an eastern carpenter bee (Xylocopa virginica), a sweat bee (Agapostemon sericeus), a hummingbird clearwing moth (Hermaris thysbe), the common eastern bumblebee (B. impatiens), a long-horned bee (Melissodes sp.), a monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) and centre: eastern snail-shell nesting bee (O. conjuncta).

They’re in such a cult bubble that they can’t understand why so many free-thinking people voluntarily give of their time to oppose him.

A group of people at a protest holding signs. The main sign reads: "HEY TRUMP, NOBODY PAID US TO BE HERE! WE ALL HATE YOU FOR FREE!" Other signs include one with the word "RESISTANCE" in red and another in pink with partially visible text

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night.

So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.
