last night we started watching John Leguizamo's "American Historia, the untold history of Latinos" (PBS) and he does not pull any punches about the erased history of the cultures of the Americas. amazing scholars interviewed for this series, i'm looking forward to watching another episode tonight

just typed lowest common demonator, spelling is going well this morning

Paul Rudd seems like a genuinely nice person, can I put all my faith in him for a while

😍 🥰 💞

also something a little more usual: a visit from my 3 crow friends ☺️

still have a foot of snow-pack w/an inch-thick ice crust and this Carolina Wren (insect-eater) shows up scrounging for seeds. it has not been warm here for WEEKS, this poor confused bird 😕 (wrens are V territorial, there's just no territory yet?) hopefully it will adapt, wrens are feisty & stubborn!

tooth and claw. couple of mornings ago, a local bobcat hunkered down and shivering miserably. much patience, then a lot of time digging snow & ice out from the slats of a pallet, it captured a good-sized breakfast by the skin of its teeth. (poor breakfast was ofc terrified but poor cat was HUNGRY)

Can people please, PLEASE start wearing masks to protests. And everywhere else really but going to a protest unmasked is inadvisable for multiple reasons. The hospitals are full again y’all. I don’t know how much more clear we can be.

You are an old film in a canister. You can tell a story to change the world. You can set a warehouse on fire

the world wildlife fund has rubbed me the wrong way for years with their blatantly capitalistic approach, and maybe it's b/c i'm really dragging ass hard today, but this is unfathomable to me. beyond redemption. shameful, shameful, shameful!

Breaking: A federal judge sides with Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota and has just blocked Trump's anti-trans EO banning care under the age of 19 via a TRO. This is the second federal judge in a row to conclude that the President's EO is likely unconstitutional.

my teeth are still rattling i am an absolute nincompoop 😵‍💫

folks, when you bust up ice on the driveway to make sure the delivery people won't go ass-over-teakettle and land on their coccyx do not go ass-over-teakettle and land on your coccyx, did you learn NOTHING from the last time this happened what the hell is WRONG with you people!! 😩 🤡

Yeah so you should really get comfortable with masking again. You’re going to be in spaces with ppl unvaccinated against measles, whooping cough, bird flu and who knows what else. You also probably don’t want this administration surveilling you. Would be a good time to start the habit again

Roses are red Our resolve hasn't faltered

i had no idea egrets flocked!

No LGB without the fucking T. 🏳️‍⚧️ Do I put this on a shirt?

A flyer posted on Van Buren Street in the Loop: “WE WILL NOT RESIGN. Sincerely, Local Federal Workers”

what a smashing cover!

visited by 4 adult deer yesterday. FOUR! 😃 They rooted around for a long time beneath the trees and around the wild blueberries. I only wish I could have gotten a group photo, so sweet and serene....
