I just read that the new Animal Farm film has a hopeful ending, with a final message saying that the oppressors will fail and downtrodden people's time will come. ☺️ I look forward to future works such as Lord of the Flies: The School Picnic.

15 years ago today, Kate and William killed Osama Bin Laden at their wedding.

Bill McKibben on the solar energy boom: “Sunlight has to travel 93 million miles to reach the Earth, but none of those miles go through the Strait of Hormuz."

This new Banksy statue is a reminder that nothing can be more powerful, more creative, more impactful than human-made art. He's managed to capture the dangers of the current political moment in a single piece of artwork. Absolutely brilliant.

"That’s not policy to me, that’s branding. That’s a late-night infomercial for grievance, fear, and ego, sold to an audience that doesn’t want solutions, they want validation. And he delivers it like a seasoned pitchman who knows exactly which emotional buttons to press."

The good news is the planes can now be used for Halloween stores

A May Day protester is asked why they are out protesting today in NYC: "People are suffering. People are dying. The rich get richer off the backs of poor and working class people." Nailed it!

"What happens when a Fox News personality with no executive experience has to run the United States military during wartime? ... it looks like a man who has never had to answer a hard question suddenly having to answer many of them—and getting quickly backed into a corner."

I recently paid $69.99 for a wheelbarrow (assembly required). Seemed like a decent deal. But garden seeds cost me dearly. Tell @publicsource.org your story of inflation or surprising savings here: www.publicsource.org/affordabilit...

In fairness, I haven’t left my ballroom since COVID.

PSA It’s ok to not be ok. It’s ok to be angry, unfocused, traumatized. It means you still have a shred of empathy left Do not try to weather this alone. Reach out to friends and allies. Many of us are feeling the same things. Support each other. Remind each other of the good still in this world 💚

Good Morning. Yesterday as the sun set in #Ireland I sat at the shore and watched the ripples hit the rock in the foreground, it pleased me so I took a snap. Have a wonderful Friday and remember we are all just ripples passing through life’s sea, so be kind to each other. #photography #Scape #ECK

Sustainable trauma recovery means asking the Recovery Supporting Question (RSQ) every day: what did my past self need most, & how can I realistically meet that need now in the choices I make today? It's not an abstract or hypothetical RSQ-- it's a concrete recovery tool.
