We are more connected than any humans who have ever lived — and lonelier than ever. And then Sunday happened. Several hundred people gathered in Tempe to amplify the voices of strangers. People they'll never meet. Because human dignity isn't negotiable. 📷 @dayspring-umc.bsky.social Justice March

#TopicTuesday - Beauty isn’t just one thing. It's a multitude—it’s how something stirs you. What moves you may not move me, and that’s the beauty of beauty! When’s the last time something simple took your breath away or stirred you?

Did a self-portrait session recently - good reminder of how vulnerable it feels to be in front of the camera! What do you think? I love the washed out look of the first one...something nostalgic about it? Just a test shot, but wish I had taken off the lens cap and wasn't holding the remote! 😂

May you have a happy and safe Fourth of July weekend! From Eric O. Ledermann Photography (Chandler, Arizona).

🇺🇸 What does patriotism look like? I’ve come to believe it’s purposeful. It’s not blind obedience—it’s an ideal wherein we take care of one another and are “for” one another! Let’s embrace a kinder, stronger, and more inclusive America. Let's embrace our INTERdependence and communal bonds.

I’m still figuring out Bluesky. Similar to Twitter in its early days, getting started and connecting is proving to be a little more cumbersome than I had hoped. I’m not a fan of a lot of the other platforms, but I’ve built communities there. I hope I can do the same here. So, hello Bluesky people!

You know why I love reading? These days it’s one of the few respites from being constantly advertised to.

If this year taught us anything, it's that: 1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires. 2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers. 3) Poverty is a policy choice. 4) Health care is a human right. 5) Strikes work. I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.
