Governor Greg Abbott is using the Texas National Guard to obstruct and create chaos at the border.
If Abbott is defying yesterday's Supreme Court ruling, @POTUS needs to establish sole federal control of the Texas National Guard now.
Many of our fisheries are struggling, but they’re far from a lost cause. We can save and rehabilitate them, but it’s going to take all of us working together and working for all of our benefit, not just a handful of actors.
Today I'm sharing with you amazing artist Halyna Novakivska (1923-2018). She had to immigrate to Canada in 1949, but her Ukrainian heritage was significant to her and her art.
"Winter Day"
I spent part of last year working on this church.
The largest roof I've thatched, and I think one of my favourites.
It's stood for 600 years and still forms the heart of the community. I met many different people while there, and the church meant something to each of them.
What a week it has been!
96'' of #snowfall so far this winter in Canaan Valley. When it finally stopped snowing we were able to capture a fantastic sunrise over the Blackwater River.

Northern hawk owl enjoying a mid-day rest. This species is partially diurnal—or active during the day—and I watched the owl start to hunt over a snow-covered field in the late afternoon, well before sunset. (Last week in Quebec, Canada)

6:37 pm in #Kyiv
I am fine. Sunday is always about writing a letter and afterwards 'stewing' it, as I usually prefer not to send things immediately after they were written.
So, while the letter was 'stewing' (what a word I chose, OMG). I watched Netflix and gave my mind some rest. Now I am ready to get some #warcoffee; read what I wrote before, and press send. So you know now about my writing process.
Today, I saw a painting that really matches my current mood, and I wanted to share it with you. Vsevolod Maksymovych, Self-portrait, 1913. Ukrainian artist. Magnificent.
Another new house float is Trumpets not Guns, a tribute to Travis Hill and Revell Andrews. This is down the street from Bywater Bakery.
