I think so many people struggle during the fall season because it is an inherent time for restorative rest-a time to slow down and reflect- and yet we are forced to continue at a break-neck speed with no reprieve, no rest.
Never forget that we had all the scientific evidence we needed to act on global warming over 50 years ago, but the fossil fuel industry spent millions to spread disinformation and block climate action.
Global warming isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime.
One year of this genocide on Palestine. An estimate of 100,000 dead, 902 families wiped out, 175 journalists murdered, 93% of schools destroyed, 89% of hospitals destroyed, 75,000 tons of bombs dropped on innocent civilians.
“who am I to name us nothing?”

BREAKING: For the first time in US history there will be a vote in Congress to block weapons to Israel.
Sending Israel weapons is a violation of US law and opposed by a majority of Americans, who are sick of seeing their tax dollars fund Israel’s war crimes against Palestinians.
The world could have stopped the genocide in Gaza.
Instead, our political leaders allowed Israel to act with total impunity.
That is why they are now murdering hundreds of civilians in Lebanon, putting millions more lives across the region at risk.
When will our government wake up to the horrors they have normalised? When will they call out this reckless aggression? Or do Arab lives not matter?
We need a full arms embargo to Israel and economic sanctions, now. Our common humanity demands nothing less.
Someone drew this bear some 30,000 YEARS ago, and yet I can still feel the love that was put into it. The gentle shading, the curve of her mouth, the ears, the literal shape of this bear!! Love exists within a cave I think.
