Another timeline cleanse. (we need lots of these in our times.)

Yesterday was a fun day – I found a 23-km trail race to register for about a month ago. I knew it was going to be hard, & I knew there was a big hill climb, but it was more difficult & more stunningly beautiful than I had expected. Many thanks to the organizers. #RunThrough #LakeDistrict #FellRun

Timeline cleanse

These irreplaceable old growth forests continue to be logged across British Columbia. Over 1,200 people have been arrested trying to keep them standing. There is no time to waste. Protect the Irreplaceable. #ActOnClimate #climate #nature @bcndp #bcpoli #bcgov Pic @TJWattPhoto

We had a chance during the gas crisis of the 1970s (anyone else remember cars lined up around the block to fill up?) and we flushed that opportunity away because oil millionaires wanted to drill baby drill. And Americans bought SUVs.

Great idea!!

ALWAYS a treat to see a red squirrel; cherry on top is David getting a great photo. #RedSquirrel #RedScamp #LakeDistrict #Borrowdale

Spoiler alert: nothing trickled down.

Happy 8th anniversary to the tweet that changed us forever. Look at this absolute unit.

TRUMP: “Do everything I ask or I’ll bomb you back into the Stone Age!” IRAN: “How about, instead, you do everything we ask and we’ll call it a day?” TRUMP: “Deal.” FOX NEWS: “Awesome Trump is the world’s most masterful negotiator!”

Brutal.

you have to get him out of office and you have to do it today even if it gets blocked you force an impeachment vote right now how else can you live with yourself if he follows through with this and you didn’t do everything you could to stop it

Just going to leave this here.

I think they should show up carrying deck chairs labeled “Titanic”.

The general has the soul of a poet.

Happy Easter! He is risen! We are happily dining on tea & toast at our favorite tea shop in Grasmere before heading over to St Oswald’s for the 11:00 service. Take some time today to offer thanks for the good things and people in your life.

Timeline cleanse!

I mean, you don't really need a translator

Huge, impactful, disastrous move by Trump being almost totally ignored or misreported by major news organizations: www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

Timeline cleanse!

Uh oh

Why plant milks don’t flow like the real thing: Water-like fluids (left), such as cow milk, break away from a nozzle and form droplets easily. Fluids with dissolved polymers (right), such as most plant milks, form long strings when stretched before breaking away cen.acs.org/food/food-sc... #chemsky🧪

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll She was born on March 20th, 1915

Watching my white friends (in another venue) get so excited for the “No Kings” gathering; and it’s just *adorable.* I do not have the heart to say what I’m thinking: “I sure hope this gathering results in a lot more voters come November.”

Tragic

The dangerous heat wave shattering March records all over the U.S. Southwest is more than just another extreme weather blip. It's the latest next-level weather wildness that is occurring ever more frequently as Earth's warming builds. https://to.pbs.org/4rPvSaD

Archaeologists found a cannonball from the Battle of the Alamo. 🏺🧪

They were able to do this research, which normally probably wouldn’t get easy approval because it involves research on humans, because of an interesting choice to make the vaccine available if you had your 80th birthday on a certain date. In eligible before that.

We’re quickly learning that our checks, balances, and separation of powers were always dependent good faith, and therefore incapable of preventing destruction wrought by the very sort of shameless, arrogant, mad president they were designed to contain.

We are too ungrounded from the earth to see that AI is not revolutionary, it's not a game changer, it's just more of the same transmutation of the earth's resources into dissociation from centuries of colonial trauma.

I have a Will Smith joke and it slaps.

This is such a big deal. So many people around the world become infected with hookworms. This vaccine could make an enormous difference for so many people!

Chemistry on St. Patrick’s Day.

Apparently, these days, you can just decline a request. Why do our federal government regulatory agencies have no teeth? Oh, wait… I think I know the answer to that.

The creativity of the responses to this question made me smile this morning. I was going to say that Newt Gingrich gave the best wrong answer, but someone in the comments beat me to it.

The blizzard in Minnesota is my family’s fault. We had put the snow shovel in the closet. Sorry.

FRIENDS, I HAVE A HUGE FAVOR TO ASK YOU: As you may or may not know, on June 23rd, I'm releasing my first children's book called 'HERE and NOW and SMALL and CLOSE. (HNSC) pavlovitzdesign.com/products/a-s...

There's lots of opportunities to learn with me and @woodbrooke.bsky.social in 2026. Just a few words to tingle your tastebuds: Ignatian spirituality, how to pray, "The Screwtape Letters," the "Quaker Renaissance," Becoming Friends. Follow the link to find out more: jollyquaker.com/2026/03/09/l...

"Jews don't belong in American society." Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America. But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.
