Ranunculus among us 😍 Hoping to have more than ever before this year!

Mother Nature said yellow is the color of the day! Spotted this Northern yellow warbler at Squiers Preserve in Chelsea. The yellow flowers are some kind of buttercup. It was wet and I didn’t get close enough to ID.

Walked out this morning to cut some branches, said hello to the muskrat, the gold finch, the red-bellied woodpecker, gave thanks for this life—

Personal plea to post stuff on craigslist and not just FB marketplace. We will never be free of Mark Zuckerberg if we do not use available free tools like craigslist, which existed BEFORE facebook, and instead only use these gated, corporate surveillance driven technologies. I'm begging, please

We’re getting closer

Northern Cheyenne activist Krystal Two Bulls says there are 103 to 160 proposed hyperscale data centers on Native lands. The data center boom is a “modern-day iteration” of “settler colonialism,” impacts of which include noise pollution, cancers and respiratory illnesses, water depletion and more.

My 4-yo this morning, out of nowhere, while putting on his shoes: “Mom, did you know pterodactyls have six bones?” (He is not particularly interested in dinosaurs)

I think my 90th essay at my newsletter is one of my best there. A meditation on cooperative power versus violence, with detours on Iran/Vance/Orban/Swalwell, and a zen ending, literally.

I’ve decided that I’ll use this account as a log for when I see “firsts”—as in first of the season. I’m in Southeast Michigan. Today: first bumblebee (actually saw several)! Also saw the first butterfly. #spring

Thank you, muses 🤩

My latest is a reflection on the cycle of dread, disaster, and temporary reprieves we’re all navigating, what that cycle is doing to us, and how we can avoid losing ourselves to it. This edition also includes a roundup of must-read pieces that have helped me think about this moment.
