Good morning, America. Just another war for oil, nothing to see here. You MAGA voted for this. AND If you didn’t vote, then you voted for this too.

people are so incredibly dumb, I'm mad that I felt pressured to be smart my entire life

This, the accompanying image, and the comment thread explain perfectly how I feel about Photoshop vs AI. AI lacks heart, commitment, and limits the creative human hand in favor of a cold version of the idea regurgitated by computers. #Art

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

For some of you it’s heat and traffic. For some it’s rain tapping your window. For some it’s a café, a corner store, a borrowed quiet. Different places. Same pause. Wherever you’re standing— hope the day loosens its grip for a sec.

While Amazon is investing billions of dollars to expand AI, independent bookstores are hosting community events, personally recommending books to readers, and providing a space that is safe and welcoming during a time when we need them most. Never underestimate the power of a local bookstore.

Healthcare not wealthcare.

When the Wampanoag first fed the Pilgrims they didn't realize they'd just invented Socialism for undocumented refugee immigrants. Happy Thanksgiving.

I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough? If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere. Vincent Van Gogh, The Letters

This morning's light was an absolutely beautiful amber glow for just a few moments while the sun was low on the horizon. Even the dried out pokeweed looked poetic. #Stunday #Photography #EastCoastKin

For the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUForUnloved theme, is this cast away boot which has been in our woods since we moved here 28 years ago and who knows how long before that. It's not really unloved, as I have a fondness for its tenacity and ever-changing appearance. #iPhonePhotography #EastCoastKin

While hiking today, I found a cute lil turt nestling themselves under a log. Wondering if this is going to be their season-long hibernation spot or just for today's rain... #ForestFriday #Scape #Woods #Landscape #Turtle #Kentucky #Photography #SnapShot #iPhonePhotography #EastCoastKin

Thoughtful read.

This site is fantastical. Great images and excellent essays- all out of copyright restrictions so that we can use, share, and build upon as we see fit. They've been one of my much used resources for many years. And they're on bsky too! #Spooktober #PublicDomain #Resources #Art

Breakfast prep. When the cool morning air makes visible the vapor swirling above my cup of tea. I learned a new word today while reading a piece written by a photographer... quotidian: everyday; commonplace; occurring or returning every day. #EverydayBeauty #SmallThings #Photography #EastCoastKin

Today's #Spooktober theme is #Bats! Yes, this is a real sign on an attic door in the building, which was built in the 1800s, where I work. I've never seen the bats there but that attic is properly scary! #Halloween #iPhonePhotography #EastCoastKin

According to EarthSky "The comet will be closest to Earth on October 21, 2025. It should become easier to see in our sky around that time. It will continue to brighten after that, likely reaching its brightest – and possibly visible with your eyes alone – around October 31 or November 1." #Lemmon

For #ForestFriday (this is not my creation) I found this on the interwebs and thought it an apropos share. I'm heartened by the strong community of nature lovers and defenders here.

Thank you, Cleveland!

@fotovorschlag.de challenge today is 'Perspektivwechsel' or "change of perspective" and another person shared this quote, which is perfect: "The best journeys of discovery are not made in foreign countries, but by looking at the world with new eyes.“ –Marcel Proust I observe this view every day 💚

#ribbit #resist I wish I knew who created this image after the fabulous Shepard Fairey style so I could thank them. It's everything.
