We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

I could happily stay like this for another week. Sadly, the storm has passed and we'll go back to normal temps soon.

Beautiful but child in the Hollow today.

Been awhile since I shared some good #fungi. Here's what's popping in the hollow right now. 🍄 #mushroom

Getting excited for an upcoming trip to Krackow in February. 🌏✈️

Wishing you all a very happy New Year.

Foggy morning here in Florida. Loved being here with my daughter but I'm looking forward to getting back to the Hollow.

"Debussy was 52 years old and suffering from cancer when he made his piano roll recordings. He died less than five years later..."

Drive to Florida was really beautiful in a post-apocalyptic way 😍

Love where I live ❣️

It's a shake you can't smell this photo

Sometimes my neighbors worry me. Far too dry to just burn leaves on the side of the road.

Been awhile since I shared, so here's a beautiful sunrise.

Every time I see a headline or question like this I hear: Have you seen your kids using calculators? Do they even know how to do the math?

Today's mushroom 🍄

So many bunnies this year! Glad we fenced the garden. #wildlife #rabbits

I'm so excited! Our organization is getting an intern from the #sociology department, which means we can finally tackle the important work of quantitative and qualitative analysis of our records.

Missed work yesterday bc of health issues. Dr wanted me to increase my medication, but it makes me sleep. He prescribed a secondary that won't make me sleepy. Of course it knocks me out, too. Meanwhile work gets more stressful because I'm not there and stress is a trigger. 🤷‍♀️

I always love seeing the beautiful butterflies that make their home in our hollow 🦋

Today's adventure: overnight pickles.

Today's garden haul. Made fresh pasta sauce - so good 😊

The garden is doing well despite the heat. Thankful to my sister for the prescient installation of the shade cloth.

Garden update. It's I'm excited - the first of the black beauty eggplants will be ready to harvest soon.

I used to say I couldn't understand the way medical providers treat patients (or more accurately, don't), but then someone started explaining the sin of #empathy to me and it was like a light turning on in the dark. #chronicillness #healthcare

Stopped by Market at the Mill in Pickens, SC today. Really enjoyed it - so many cool finds!

Layover seems like the perfect time to celebrate #zoology with two of my favorite photos. I took these during a trip to the Nashville zoo.

Heading to California for a conference today. A few photos from the ATL ➡️ MDW portion of the trip.

Happy #flowersonfriday - here's a butterfly on my wildflowers. I'm starting my day listening to the birds grey the sun and sipping coffee on the porch. There's a rather vociferous Scarlet tanager competing with the local titmouse population for loudest call and honestly I think it's winning.

Think sociology is useless? You’re living in a world built by it. Labor laws, mental health care, even how we define poverty—all shaped by sociologists. Let’s talk history. 🧵

From the garden today. Anyone have a solid #pickle #recipe?

I worked on Fisher Island many years ago. Most island travel is by golf cart. I was driving my own one day and had a near miss with Oprah and her best friend at a blind corner.

“One of the most important signs of democratic erosion is not when elections are lost, but when citizens and institutions lose the freedom to express themselves, when independent journalism is threatened or suppressed, and when protest is criminalized or violently repressed.”

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

A few videos off the camera roll.

Baby cucumbers are so cute!

The cucumbers and squash are outpacing everything else in the garden.

First time seeing a cortinarius #fungi in the hollow. #mushroom

Mushrooms are loving all this rain #fungi

New additions to the homestead: one lemon, one lime.

Look who joined the party today. I believe this is a cemetery Iris. #flowers

Another beautiful day in the hollow 🦋🌻

The rescued potato plants are thriving.

Today's #fungi friend

As much as I love the hollow, I have to admit that Halifax is amazing.

Today's #fungi is a little cutie

The wild roses are blooming. I love this time of year 🌸

I've been sick for the last four weeks. Today we discovered a garden emergency 😂 Guess what we've been up to lol

I miss Google search circa 2010. This new version is trash. 🚮
