Bottom line: Covid vaccines help.

Getting boosters helps.

Covid vaccines targeting more than one mutation help more.

Immunity is better if you get the vaccine before getting an infection, rather than the other way around.

“Letting it rip“ is a bad strategy.

Thankful for the people who survived, and continue to advocate for surviving and thriving. Thankful for the plants that remind us to connect with the lands where we live.

Wishing you all a thoughtful and meaningful holiday.

A little beauty to break up all the doom scrolling. Yes, flowers are still hanging on here in Portland.

Saw some pretty leaves, met some lovely neighbors.

Taking walks while the sun still shines.

The aurora app is mocking me. ☁️☁️☁️

A friend saw colors through the clouds at Alki tonight.

Too cloudy here overall. Caught this before gearing up and heading out (to disappointment.) Handheld from my front yard.

All the aurora I got. The clouds are dripping now.

If you’ve not read this book, you should. If you have read it, you know why I say this.

Trying not to feel disheartened. It’s tough right now, despite the joy sparked by my breakfast bowl.
