Cold late afternoon light on Schuylkill river Valley Forge.

248 years ago, what soldiers stood and watched the water pass.

Standing in wool, linen, cotton, and yarn, with much more basic heating and nutrition than I am privileged to enjoy today.

We live inside history. Always being now.

BREAKING: James Stock opens @harvard.edu #Harvard Climate Action Week two-day event at Harvard Business School.

His candid opener: fossil fuels pollution has changed the whole planet’s climate systems, and we face a future that is uncertain and not good, especially if no action happens.

Meanwhile in the US, privileged human in track suit and baseball cap, after finishing her cafe stop, climbs into ginormous SUV, sits down and scrolls, leaving V8 engine running. Polluting us all with fumes and noise and heat.

Vainglorious political leadership.
Voted for by the self absorbed.

My week ends better than yours, because a #hummingbird is buzzing the feeder, drinking, and dodging the competitor.

TWIL #hummingbirds (males) are very territorial, and perform some spectacularly aggressive aerobatics dodging each other.

Bon week-end.
