Hmmmm. Good time for the CDC to be silenced, eh?

A simple utopia exists in Awra Amba, Ethiopia. Gender equality in work, equal voices for all, including the children. Elder care. “Doing a woman’s job does not change my maleness. It changes my ignorance.” Education thru college. (ReasonsToBeCheerful. World, Feb. 7)

cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Good news: CA rice fields, flooded for the winter, are producing a food source for young salmon. Roger Cornwall, along with UC Davis, CA Trout and State water are creating eco-systems that will flood into streams and rivers, giving protein-rich food for salmon, resulting in fish 3x bigger.

A win for mountain lions (and all of us) in Wyoming.

No ads, talking or music, Radio Lento records and shares “unique quiet” from natural spaces. Gentle waves of water over rocks. “The evocative sound of wind in fir trees.” What a concept! (Positive.news)

This should terrify all of us.

A rewilding site in Scotland has seen a doubling of its native woodland over the past 30 years - simply by removing sheep & deer- where species like the pine Martin (above), eagles and others are rebounding. (Positive.News)

Justice??? ✅

Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today. It's the little things. Microdose hope.

The new quarterly publication is out!! I’ve gotta put on the brakes, sit down and read. One after another positive stories and endeavors are highlighted. I’ll be sprinkling my pages here and on FB with them.🤗

Did you ever imagine you’d see a time when Trump’s first term would seem relatively benign?

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you

"Trump's military deportation flight to Guatemala on Monday likely cost at least $4,675 per migrant... more than five times the $853 cost of a one-way first class ticket on American Airlines from El Paso, Texas, the departure point for the flight..." www.reuters.com/world/americ...

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Emotional Support Cat---her markings are stunning.

Great news: the state of Montana just voted down a bill that would have allowed wolf hunting year-round! A landslide of advocacy worked and it’s a big win for wildlife!

Good news: the three Klamath River dams have been removed, enabling salmon to run up the river for the first time in 100 years. The Yurok tribe has just spread 11,600 pounds of native seeds along 68 miles of riverbanks to begin restoration of the riparian habitat. The healing begins.

Start and then continue to grow whatever food you can. It takes awhile to learn what grows well where you live.

Reasons To Be Cheerful: Rwanda, “Land of 1,000 Hills,” farmers are using a farming technique that retains water and stops loss of topsoil. They are terracing the steep hills & slanting the ‘radical’ terraces back toward the mountains. Effects have been dramatic. Huge soil & crops improvement.

Thank the heavens, a sweet gentle rain has hit So. California. I hear the trees singing.
