Sometimes instead of paying attention to the news I wander around the yard with a camera.

In the airport near a bunch of young women all wearing next to nothing, thinking about how people used to sort of dress up for travel and really hoping that in 15 years they won’t be telling someone how women were once able to wear shorts and tank tops in public. #handmaids #religiouswrongs #women
If you are angry about this email your Congressional representative and Senators and remind them that they were elected to serve in a DEMOCRACY and you’d appreciate them upholding the CONSTITUTION and THANK THEM FOR THEIR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Analogy?
KFF reports that 60% or more of adult Medicaid recipients are already working, others are caregivers for dependents, in school, or disabled. Medicaid is another form of corporate welfare.
Coffee and camera
I read this too quickly and saw “hops” instead of “hope” 😆 We might need both. And chocolate.

(2/2) There were no early symptoms and she was too young for preventative screening. We need investments in disease research, global public health, and emergency preparedness. And instead they fucking cut funding for all this AND for healthy foods.
I am sorry you are experiencing this. Agree. I am someone who was perfectly healthy, did all the “right” things and had no family history and still had a heart attack (spontaneous artery dissection) at 46, and then lost my triathlete sister to colon cancer when she was just 41. (1/2)
Nope, nothing odd or concerning here…just a typical day in a former democracy.

A card reads: "These Words Are Disappearing in the New Trump Administration." A long list of words follows, including: biologically female; biologically male; BIPOC; Black; breastfeed + people; clean energy; climate crisis; climate science; commercial sex worker; community diversity; community equity; confirmation bias; cultural competence; cultural differences; cultural heritage; cultural sensitivity; culturally appropriate; culturally responsive; DEI; equity; feminism; genders.

President Trump said in his address to Congress that he inherited an “economic catastrophe” from Joe Biden. The U.S. had the strongest economy in the world when Trump took over, but it's shown signs of strain from Trump's federal funding cuts and tariffs. Follow live.
Somehow gutting the #EPA doesn’t seem like the best road toward protecting kids from toxins.
Out waving my camera around at slow shutter. What are you doing to maintain some sanity these days?
Another striking sunset over the Gulf of Mexico.
