A Couple Of Not Seen So Many Times At All. Indigo Bunting And Redheaded Woodpecker Pairs.

We only cohabitate with nature, it’s the greatest thought fallacy that we have dominion over Nature. Man has been here only a very short period of time, man will be replaced quite easily because we do not recognize how to sustainably live in relationship with nature. Nature will continue on over men’s bones and vast achievements. Nature does not have a ego.

I was in their environment, so I don’t blame them.

You often see this kind of comment made after someone is attacked by a shark or bear. And it took me a long time to understand, but that is a thoroughly wrong headed thought process.

We don’t enter sharks, bears, raccoons, or anything else’s environment. And they do not enter ours. We are a much a part of nature and the environment as any other living thing, and vice versa. You, me, everyone has a much call and cause to swim in the ocean or walk in the mountains any other living thing.

We keep separating ourselves from nature and the environment to the point we’re we get a God complex thinking we need to “save” it. Or, on the other end of the spectrum “it ain’t mine, so fuck it”. And because of it, we do really dumb shit to our own home.

They say all politics is local. Well, so is nature. And when you separate yourself from it, it becomes someone or something else problem, or responsibility. But the problem is, that ain’t the case. You cannot remove yourself from it, it is the natural world, and we are all part of it.

We have a much right and responsibility to hug trees and not pollute, as we do to fill a deep freeze with venison. We have as much right and responsibility to be good stewards of our home (nature) as we do to utilize the resources contained in it. And until we stop viewing tree huggers as hippy commies and hunters as evil murderers our house (nature) won’t be getting any cleaner or any better.

Until we stop thinking about nature in absolutes, we will continue to find it harder and harder to maintain, and live in, our home.

F. F. S. PEOPLE.

This is the point we’ve gotten to.

Even Elon Musk with his billions has learned his feelings do not control the world and everything in it.

Just fucking grow up ! ! !

Feeling unwelcome in blue states, gun companies move to red ones — The Washington Post

At least 20 manufacturers have shifted operations, mirroring the widening political divide.

This is good, yet SO BAD. this will only add to more and more red/blue clashes. Because the gun lobby, although loosing strength, is still in the top 3-5 lobbyist money fountains in the halls of congress. Adding to the instructional corruption of the place.

When the mace

Doesn’t smash your face

That’s amoreè

WHUUUUUUMMMPPPPHHHH. !

wait for it the concussive wave, (that would be the pressure wave you feel from lightning very close). OR I will truly hope ::::: happens in the minds of more peoples.

Been in this situation. It also took me YEARS to figure out, because Nobody talks above this stuff in the open.

As I sit here at my two hour Spravato treatment, I’m thinking about how we talk about depression and whose job it is to do scicomm and health comm about depression.

I’ve had clinical suicidal depression for 24 years, I’ve been in therapy, done inpatient, taken meds, done treatments. I know a lot about it and can help people with the process. I love being a resource for friends new to navigating the options.

But I don’t want to be The Depression Person. Depression is just some background noise that gets in the way of who I actually am. I wanna talk prairie and plants and history!

I hate talking about my depression and suicidiality. I don’t care about receptors and inhibitors and brain chemistry. I don’t want to make work about it. I get rip-roaring furious talking about anti-medication activism, discourse and stigmas around getting help. I have zero interest in getting into it about The Psychiatry Industry, pharmaceuticals, or insurance.

So what action should I take? As a beneficiary of this complex and nuanced field of depression treatment, as a person who uses images to communicate, what am I morally obliged to do? Should I use my experience to educate people? Wouldn’t that make me a corpo shill? A pharma shill? A psychiatry apologist?

I hate that objective, concrete quality of life improvements I have had will be met with hostility and bad faith responses. I’m afraid of the inevitable backlash any depression treatment educational material I make will have. This seems especially pertinent as we in the US are going to have RFK, a man who has explicitly targeted antidepressants, as part of our government. What is my obligation here? What is the right thing to do?

Idk man. I just want to draw and talk about plants. But it sure would have been nice if I had known any of this depression stuff like, a decade earlier.

I am actually afraid (afraid for my family’s future ) that this country has come to this place in its own history [ which people are actively trying to deny or forget.

MP. Views in my yard today

Unrestrained and immoral capitalism at the level of greed and pursuit of profit that kills the underlying source of it all. The “middle class. What a joke we are forced to live. 😖

This is how you unrig the system. You vote for Democrats and progressives. #VoteBlue

Keep Wall St from manipulating Main St.

I have never been so BETRAYED.

I also have never been so ashamed and humiliated.

I’m also a US military veteran. (> 15 years) And elected public official. (>3years)

volodymyr zelenskyy is the strongest man alive for sitting through this utter bullshit without swearing or punching the fuckers or angry crying. fuck trump and fuck everyone who did not vote for harris and fuck russia.

like i can’t even read this bit of news without feeling humiliated and i’m not even fucking there.

i am terrified that i will have to sit back and watch the loss of ukraine in front of my eyes.

Stop attacking libraries !

This is absolutely catastrophic.
