Ceiling and subfloor removal day selfie 🤪

Getting down towards the end of my "I need to figure out what to do with these" pile. They are just consuming space, gathering dust, some getting moldy 😔 Nowhere to hang them or store them. They meant so much to me in creating them & have meant so much to me over the years. Hard to feed to the 🔥

I think about this a lot. I worry about this a lot.

I hope you all find yourselves in a warm, dry, safe place with good food and companionship 🙏 Good night 🙏

"Sooooo............."

I wanted to be a tree farmer 🤪

Just discovered a painting that really hit me, especially here in the Christmas season. For those not Christian, after Christ was born, Mary and Joseph had to flee to Egypt to protect their baby from political persecution.

I will never stop combating racism. It’s not something I act out on occasion. It’s all day, everyday. It’s part of my life. I’m 1/2-white and receive tons of unearned benefits b/c of racism and colorism. I have a moral and practical duty to combat the force that bestows these racist benefits.

Blocking protects individuals. Speaking up is how patterns get named & communities get protected.

Check in on and support any youth who are online in your life and help spread awareness of this beyond-awfulness in your parenting circles🙏😔

Closing up

Some fun shadow geoduckometry

White people’s race hardly ever dawns on them. White is the “normal” or default, somehow neutral non-race. This is a white supremacy culture mindset. Plain and simple. White is normal. Everything else is some “race,” separate from the normal white people.

Take flight.

I so love all the bird pictures in my feed. I can see why this is Eloise's favorite 💙

May we continue on the path away from the dominance-over mentality of toxic masculinity & relationship ❤️ "Ecstasy is a feeling that comes only when the heart is tuned to that pitch of love which melts it, which makes it tender, which gives it gentleness, which makes it humble." - Hazat Inayat Kaan

I wish those being bigoted and evil about Jewish Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian people experience all the things they wish upon Jewish, Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian people May you receive the intentions you aim at others

If you only have energy to learn more about one thing right now, make it this.

The world has infinite beauty and countless kind good people in it we haven’t been blessed to meet just yet. Things may be grim across the world ranging from genocides, mass murders, far right rising into power, etc but together we will try to get through this. May your days be kinder and gentler

To my Jewish friends here... My heart breaks reading the news, yet again, as I write to say Happy Hanukkah I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed week filled with friends and family 🙏🕎

Miss me with the ”prove you have the correct political bonafides to be mourning murder” bullshit actually

With this cold spell one of our hens has come down with some foot nasty, so she gets an all inclusive stay in the house and endless attention for a couple of days.

On today's episode of This Abandoned Haunted House...

Most didn't see it until it came for all of us comfortable white folks just living life. But now that it's coming for everyone, go back and listen to the folks sounding the warning for decades. I only learned a few years ago, but it's not to late for anyone to learn now and fight back.

"Does it hurt?" he asks. "No, not really." Grandpa replies. "I mean on the inside. Does it hurt on the inside?" "It hurts less and less. That's one good thing about forgetting things. You forget the things that hurt too." Fredrik Backman - And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer

One of my life best friends bought an abandoned house on auction sight-unseen to repair and resell. Today was our first day getting in there. The haunted basement is the least terrifying and disgusting part of what we found! This oughta be an adventure.

Church is the nearby village of East Orange, Vermont. Not sure I've seen this architecture anywhere else around here, though that's way beyond my area of expertise!

Anyway it continues to be weird and fucked up how y’all expect Black people to be calm and dispassionate about racism and then frame us as monsters when we show even a hint of passion in opposition to our own dehumanization But tell yourself it’s just about the facts, sure

Australia just banned social media for everyone under 16. This should be the law everywhere.

These chickens have decided not to have faces until the artic front passes

More than 200 enviro groups demand halt to new US datacenters “We saw rising utility bills become a core concern in the NJ, GA and VA elections, which shows us there is a new politics in America – we are entering a new era that is all about electricity prices” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

One of the most complex parts of rural energy efficiency & environmental conservationism initiatives for me to wrap my head around here in Vermont, USA

My being is the bed of coals I lay my life upon.

Up to 50% with four moves away from energy efficiency and environmental conservationism in November. As we head into 2026 with the new budget coming into effect, please take the time to learn and share with others about what is coming and help prepare yourselves and your communities as you can ✌️🙏😔

I understand wanting to stay anonymous, I really do. But we are more effective on social media when we share our real names, faces and relevant credentials. Putting ourselves at risk is part of being committed in our support of what we believe in.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

"Srinivasan himself has started a 'Network School' on an artificial island near Singapore, where techno-optimists can work their day jobs remotely while living in a hotel together and learning how to 'bootstrap'... a new society [ — ] 'society-as-a-service'"

Probably my favorite family Christmas ritual, the boys and I wandering the "evergreen nurseries" in our back woods looking for which tree wants to come home with us. It's J's year to pick, he found a nice fir 🎄Happy holidays from my family to you all ❤️
