African Elephants are my favorite land animal species, by far. During yesterday’s earthquake, my babies at the San Diego Zoo reacted to the quake, immediately protective of their most-vulnerable Community members. Humans could learn SO much from these beauties, if we’d just humble ourselves. 🐘🐘

Day after “Fight Oligarchy” rally: talked to Bernie Sanders on sidewalk this morning. Talked to Doug Martsch of Built to Spill at lunch. Headed to cardiologist appointment and wondering if @aoc.bsky.social is waiting there? #triplecrown #boise #idaho

Just saw Bernie Sanders walk past my building in downtown #Boise. Ran outside, caught up to him with his security, shook his hand and told him how much it meant for him to come to Idaho. Didn't pester him for a selfie.

Monday morning. Woke up, listened to The Daily podcast from the NY Times about how the tariffs are affecting one small business in southern Minnesota -- and had a good cry. How 'bout you? #smallbusiness #tariffs #humancost

Back in the day I was part of a group that started Think Boise First, a nonprofit promoting the benefits of buying from local businesses. I sometimes think about rebooting it, but wonder if anyone really cares. Photo at Zen Bento today. #boise #idaho

It feels like the world needs us to put up another mural of a social or environmental justice champion here at Inspiration Alley. All we need to start is a willing building owner w/ a wall to serve as a canvas. Do you know of anyone here in #Boise or, heck, anywhere for that matter?

#Whales are conscious breathers—surfacing every 5-15 minutes, while deep divers like sperm whales can hold out for 90 minutes. When one emerges, leaving a #rainbow in its wake, it's pure #magic

True confession: I always wanted to be a merry prankster and ride the Magic Bus. Sans psychedelics, I guess this is as close as I will ever come. godspeed.ghost.io/the-prank-th...

5 yrs ago today City Of Good received 501c3 status. A group of friends & I started this #Boise org in response to the pandemic. We support farmers by purchasing their excess produce; distribute it & healthy meals to those in need (kids, refugees, sr citizens); & train folks for food service jobs.
