Writer/artist maintaining public gallery/studio because madness should be a spectator sport. Avid journaler, poet & essayist. Advocate for women, arts, cats, & love. My muse anchors me or I’d stay in these clouds. He’s cute—cooks, & gardens.
I used to have NEPA responsibilities in my job at USDA mainly involved with EA’s on program areas like CRP& CREP or Cat 1 and 2’s on construction projects on farms using federal funds. There is no way a project of this size, scope and nature could be completed in 5 months. cepr.net/publications...

And in “land of the free & the home of the brave….” I think our flag is broken & our bell no longer rings…”. My Dad had to watch his buddies get shot by Germans as they parachuted down over Belgium when Hitler shot their plane down. The Resistance saved him. Who on earth is to save us from this?

Cannot help but wonder who Oprah really is any more. She went to Jeff Bezos’s wedding…. Why? Why did she go to a wedding like that?

This is beyond comprehension… how can GOP still call themselves a party? They seem more like a wake of zombies not realizing they are dead inside and aimlessly exist for no reason at all…the have no souls, no purpose, no morality … even MTG seems to forget harassing Parkland kids.
An additional 500 National Guard members have arrived in Washington, D.C., bringing the total deployment to 2,750 troops, according to the National Guard and bringing the cost to taxpayers to roughly $1.6 million per day.

Miller is so so deserving of this award…now if we can just focus on facts for a moment— our “president” is no longer “home”. Our country is being run by Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, & Steve the bartender for all we know. Please let’s focus on impotent Republican ostriches. #TheHague is watching.

Aw…this was up in Harpswell Maine in 2012. The boat rose and sank everyday up and down with each tide. It did not have enough integrity to stay afloat more than an hour or two but would rise again on next high tide. Very metaphorical Plein air experience.

Why are we paying the salaries for these people?
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:
