The solutions to todayβs problems already exist. What doesnβt exist yet is a big enough movement to challenge the status quo and build a country and economy that centers workers instead of corporations and billionaires.

This photo shows sun gold tomatoes, (which are a range of yellow orange to orange red) and green sugar snap peas laid out on a black towel after harvesting.
A small harvest of sun gold tomatoes and sugar snap peas.
The bigger tomatoes are taking longer to ripen, but wow, when they do, we are going to have to work double time to keep up with processing them!
Had this experience yesterday where I smiled at a little girl, and then she kept bringing me items she found around the store, to the amusement of her dad. I can't help but smile and be kind to little ones, so this happens to me constantly. Sometimes, it's tiring, but usually, we both feel happier.
Because poverty means suffering. Death, in most people's minds, means an end to suffering.
Key members like podcaster Pete Quinones use their platforms to push far-right ideas about Jewish people and immigrants. Other members have used their platforms to... advocate measures including βcancellation insuranceβ for members whose extreme political views might impede their professional lives.

The creator suggests: first, donate (or up your donation) to your local public media station. Then, "adopt" a station that's lost 50% or more of their revenue through the rescission. Congratulations, you've adopted a station!

This is a screenshot of the ICELiist.info website. There is a black section that is about a fifth of the page size. At the top within this section. There is an icon that has an eagle with the words Ice List in front of it. The rest of the page is a dark gray with large print white words that says, "Real Police Don't Need Masks". Underneath in smaller word, it says "The ICE List is an open journalistic project, created by the Crustian Daily, aimed at collecting and sharing information that can hold ICE members legally accountable." Under this is a red button that reads: Report an Agent.
New website for tracking ICE agents. Are your neighbors inflicting harm on others? Now you can find out by checking by state or report them in real time.

This photo shows the top shelf of a desk system with a picture of a plate that has a painted science fiction portal. Next to it is a nonfunctioning shell of a Game Boy advance SP with a hand- created scene atop it. The screen has been altered to read: "Chick PokΓ©mon Torchic." above the words,"Prof. Birch is in trouble. Release a Pokemon and rescue him." A scene with grass, colored rocks, mounds of moss and trees surrounds the Torchic figurine, who is standing between the controller buttons.
One of the bonuses of shopping locally, instead of ordering online, is that I get to discover amazing little shops & creators. Today, my friend took me to a new card & gaming shop, and I got this amazing little Game Boy scene to add to my desk. The retro vibe makes me smile!
Upcycling for the win!
A glass bowl is filled with flour and sprinkled with rosemary. There is a sprig of rosemary resting on the bottom left corner of the bowl. In the top right corner, there is a container of shaved parmesan. And there is a bowl of plain flower in the top right corner. This is a photo of my ingredients for making an artisan loaf of rosemary parmesan bread (with the exception of the salt, garlic powder and water.
These are the baked loaves of bread. Recipe: 3 cups of flour 1 1/4 tsp of salt 1 2/3 cup of water 1/2 tsp of yeast Add any extras like cheese, fruit, dried meats, candies, veggies, pickles, etc. Less water for juicy or liquid additives. Mix and set aside over night. After 12-18 hours, remove from the bowl, folding/rolling into shape and set on floured surface for 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 475Β° with a pan with a lid inside (Dutch oven, can't iron, even pyrex works) Place loaf inside when up to temperature for 30 min with lid on. Remove lid and bake for 15 min more. Eat the whole loaf π€£
These are parchment paper bags I folded using the YT video. They are sitting on a floury counter with excess groceries behind them.
Learned a new skill. I am all out of bread bags to gift my bread to my coworkers, so I used the 1st half of this video to make one!
I really appreciate my Summer School team and hope these Rosemaey Parmesan Artisan loaves will be a good thank you gift.

This is a picture of a rainbow. On the left upper corner, the sky is a deeper gray split by a thin lip ribbon of rainbow with a lighter gray sky to the right bottom half of the photo, the bottom is lined with the tops of the all green trees that are mostly cedar and a deciduous tree that has turned a bit orange due to the drought.
A beautiful summer rainbow means I dont need to water the garden and that our drought is going to improve slightly.
I hope the tomatoes dont burst, but it's so lovely...
This belongs under the category of predictionable betrayal and leopards are eating MY face... π
In this photo, the backdrop is a gray stone wall, and to the left, you can see the growth of a kiwi vine up the wall. In the forefront are pink gladiolus that have bloomed. They are bright fuchsia along the edges with a mix of lighter pink and yellow as it heads towards the center of each flower on the multi-flower stem. The flower reproductive bits are dark purple (3) and white with a pink (1) top. The leaves are a bright spring green color.
Summer's beauty.
Read a sign from Chicago that said its because "they have faces even a mother couldn't love".
I am more surprised that they can stand to look in a mirror...
This is a gorgeous composition!
An important analysis!
My son wants to have a career in math and science. He turned down an internship in tech because the market is swamped with folks already. He's also observed the number of scientists and researchers getting laid off. I hope this doesn't crush his dreams.
I can't imagine how the EPA folks feel π π
Last night, we watched CNN's John Lewis: Good Trouble and did a candlelight protest. We also had the privilege of listening to a speaker who worked with both Dr. King and John Lewis. He continues engaging in resistance work. It was just what my heart needed.
