Did you know lichen can help us understand Buddhist philosophy?

@smwalke discusses these fungi and the practice of Miksang—a contemplative photographic tradition—can teach us about interdependence.

“In a Marvel franchise characterized by irreverence and flashy galactic battles, the third installment carries the unexpected and bodhisattva-like message to save all beings, even the nonhuman ones.” https://t.co/aESpe4sgUY

Universal healthcare and childcare. Gun safety. Combating climate change.

The GOP opposes it all. If they refuse to support life after birth, how can they claim to believe in it before?

Truth is, this is not about life and never has been. It’s about seizing power and control.

See the star cluster inside that circle? It’s the Pleiades – the 7 Sisters – currently passing behind the sun, as seen from Earth. The sun is hidden behind an obscuring disk (to reduce glare) in this image via NASA/ESA/SOHO.
