Saw posts this morning asking why Democrats aren’t doing this. RT to spread the word.

Heart-breaking and oh-so-shortsighted on the part of our “leaders”. open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

#Albuquerque Does anyone know if there is a 50501 protest planned for Civic Plaza on Monday, and if so, what time? Thanks!

A little light relief for #SuperbOwlSunday. I got to watch this pair of great-horned owlets grow up in the trees near my house in 2020. #photography #bird #owl

Where’s the Real Power Nexus? How Does the Opposition Get To It? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/where...

YES! This week, with congressional phones ringing non-stop following Musk’s hostile weekend takeover, Democrats are finally showing signs of life, drawing news cameras by railing against corruption outside USAID and Treasury headquarters. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

In case you need a peaceful view this evening - not quite an antidote to the news, but maybe a brief moment of respite. #photography #WhiteSands #NewMexico

This is Trump’s plan for prisoners, and I bet that very much includes dissidents and protesters: black hole prisons in El Salvador where people won’t come back.

Thunder in Albuquerque in January? We have clearly angered the gods.

I already need a mental health break and am headed to White Sands with my camera for a couple of days. Here's a photo I took the last time I was there. #photography #blackandwhite #NMTrue #WhiteSands

Just seen in the WaPo: "National Science Foundation grant reviews are paused, triggering alarm". Not sure how much more triggering I can take.

Today would have been my father's 100th birthday. As a doctor, he would have found the cruelty of the current era unfathomable. He served in both the Navy and the Army at a time when our country was combatting fascism elsewhere. He could never have envisioned that fascism would take hold at home.

Nailed it. open.substack.com/pub/patricem...

Angular unconformities cry out to be noticed! This one is between tilted Mesozoic rocks and flat-lying Neogene sediments near San Ysidro, NM. #photography #geology #blackandwhite #landscape

"‘'Twas the night before grant deadline, 7:15. Many creatures were stirring, thanks to caffeine. The comments accepted, the references done, In hopes someone might fund my first R01."

Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, a #ScienceAdvances analysis finds.

Thanks for featuring one of my photos! Just a few more days to visit this great #blackandwhite #photography show in #Albuquerque.

More #sandhillcranes. They make me happy.

It's #sandhillcrane season in the middle Rio Grande valley. I liked the shadows of the wing feathers on this one's neck. #birdphotography

This is great news. The Frances Perkins site in Newcastle #maine is well worth a visit. What an impressive woman she was. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

Memories of a fine hiking trip in the Bisti Wilderness. We got wet, but rain in New Mexico is always a privilege. #photography #blackandwhite #newmexico #landscape #storm #hoodoos #desert

Land doesn’t vote. Stop pretending it does.

Have you ever noticed the weird little faces that are hiding in the middle of every poinsettia flower? #photograph #photography #macro #christmas #flower

It's concert time. What could possibly go wrong at a concert on Friday the 13th? Whatever the mistake will be, it will likely happen in the 2nd movement of the Vaughn Williams.... #Albuquerque #music #orchestra #concert

It's ok to be different. Photographed near the Santa Fe ski basin, New Mexico. #photograph #photography #viveladifference #trees #forest #newmexicotrue

Today's puzzle: who leaves *three* gloves on a windowsill? Caught my attention right away. Photographed in Uzes, France. #photography #blackandwhite 📷

If you are in #Albuquerque, come check out this #photography show! It's always my favorite exhibition of the year. #blackandwhite
