To improve my mental state, I printed out some photos of places I've been over the years.

I then picked the best 8 that gave me the sense of deep peace/warmth/joy.

This feeling is my memory of the state I was in when I took the photo, not the photo itself, so you get to have your own unique experience when looking at them, but maybe they bring you a something also nice.

Here there are! 1/2

today's #blackhistorymonth spotlight is on comrade Fred Moten, one of the foremost theorists of blackness of our time and a dazzling poet

Trump didn't start new wars directly. But he invited Turkey to invade and destroy the fledgling feminist cooperative economy development among the US's military allies against ISIS. This is heartbreaking. https://rojavainformationcenter.com/2020/11/explainer-cooperatives-in-north-and-east-syria-developing-a-new-economy/

Saw Van Jones cry on TV. I understand that feeling of release. Four long years of stress. Of course, Trump's loss does not mean the end of the age of exploitation, but it is a joy to see him lose.

If my partner and I wanted to farm but don't have much experience besides rooftop gardening and houseplants (plus a good amount of ambition and book knowledge), is there a farming network that connects people who are new to farming with those who have working farms (and patience... and housing)? ...and that is queer/BIPOC-friendly and supports regenerative farming and land-back initiatives? Feel free to boost :-)
