A quintessential winter image from the California coastal mountains: moss, polypody fern, leaves of California mistmaiden wet with recent rain. When the rain stops in spring the ferns will dry up and shrivel, to come alive when the rains return. #fernfriday #ferns #naturephotography #nature 🌿

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

And this is why we use horizontal/decentralized organizing. We are all important in this movement, we can all contribute to a better future.

Highly recommend: "Join or Die" on Netflix about community in America. Stunning conclusions about how hierarchy destroys trust, well-being, and democracy -- and how horizontal social connections create meaning, purpose, equality, and commitment to better societies. Inspiring! Organize!

None of the big papers, for all their resources, has been covering the (incredibly stupid and vile) chaos that Musk and his strike-force of libertarian Beavises nearly as well as Wired. It's an extremely cheap subscription (and a very good print product as well) and I recommend it.
