English immigrant May Gibbs knew the delicate fairies of her homeland would not survive in the harsh Australian terrain. Instead she imagined a whole new race of creatures suited to the Aussie bush and the Gum-nut babies were born. #FolkyFriday mythcrafts.com/2019/01/24/m...

PSA Update your vaccines ASAP. Between bird flu, bat COVID and RFK Jr. we need to be on top of looking out for our own health. Remember the difference between 1.0 and 2.0 so far. Spread the word. (Not the flu!) #resist #health #vaccinate

“History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes” – Mark Twain. How about we don't let it this time? We need more than lawsuits. We need boots on the ground. If you're lucky enough to get asked in the future, what did you do then? Will you be able to say: "Everything I possibly could." ? #resist!

How does having trained staff at places like DHS, DOEd, DHHS, & DOC protect Americans? Without them, we couldn't fight child abuse, prosecute CSAM traffickers, & prevent early deaths. Your federal government is a cooperative of highly skilled, dedicated citizens who work to protect kids everyday.

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

The Victorians adored pressed flowers, but some believed that pressing a forget-me-not into a diary could trap a ghost’s memory between the pages. #WyrdWednesday

The white rose became a symbol of rebellion during World War II. The White Rose resistance group used the flower’s innocence as a stark contrast to the violence they opposed. #WyrdWednesday

The ALTtxt on that hideous official Whitehouse post echoes my sentiments exactly. Importantly, right now, like the OG poster said: take care of yourself right now. This is not a sprint - this is a marathon and we need everyone. Rest, recover, return then #resist and #persist.🥄✊

Best way I've ever heard the power of "the new shiny" explained. #writinglife #writers That doesn't mean it isn't legit though - Athena wasn't the sort of "idea" that should be ignored. On the contrary. We could use some Athena-ish movers and shaker ideas right now. #resist

In Welsh myths, the woman Blodeuwedd ("Flower-Faced") was created from the flowers of the broom, meadowsweet, and oak by the wizard Gwydion to marry his ward Lleu. However, Blodeuwedd fell in love with Gronw, and so tried to murder Lleu. So Gwydion turned her into the first owl. #WyrdWednesday

In Korean myth, a tiger & a bear ask the divine King Hwanung to turn them human. He instructs them to live in a cave for 100 days, eating only garlic & mugwort. The tiger gives up midway, but the bear persists, transforms into a woman, & marries Hwanung. #MythologyMonday

Times are bleak, it’s true. But people are still out here doing incredible work now, when it matters most. Activists in KY bought land slated for a new prison, and will now fill it with native plants and use it as an intertribal gathering location. 🌱🌎🧪🌿

@parkroseperma.bsky.social Concerned re Monday's protest in Portland OR: Do you believe tomorrow's town hall protest will be safe to join? (not be targets) We're in a relatively safe area but even so, there are very aggressive folks & signs here. Trump's comments to his followers are alarming.
