I recently decided to revisit an old hobby to help me keep away from doom scrolling about our shit show of a government. It has been very cathartic! And this beauty is giving me little sliver of joy on these cold evenings. #crochetblanket #fucktrump

As the shutdown continues and our federal employees continue to work without pay, I think back on a time when I traveled more for work and never once worried about my safety. It is such bullshit that MAGA is putting people at risk in every way possible: healthcare, aviation, taking kids to school 🤬

Our incredible partner, Ent Credit Union, is matching every dollar donated, up to $25,000, now through October 31! That means your gift can go twice as far, helping provide enough food for 6 meals to our neighbors across Colorado. Donate today: bit.ly/47vOC6W

The iPhone 17 pro camera is…. Insane. I’ve just been wandering around my neighborhood looking for excuses to take photos. It’s honestly been cathartic and helping me pay more attention to the world around me. This fall evening required no edits whatsoever 🤩

Went on a much needed solo hike with the pups on Saturday to a very popular lake. It pays off to hike during shoulder season. When the fall leaves disappear so do many of the hikers. It had this place all to myself. 🙌

Fall is coming to and end and winter is right around the corner so naturally I’m reminiscing about the summer.

“We the People” felt real today. #NoKings

Such a beautiful day for a peaceful protest in Denver. #nokings #fucktrump

Let’s go.

I have too much to say and not enough to say most of the time.

It’s been a beautiful fall in CO. This was about a week before the “peak”. I’ll never get over the golds creeping up the mountains.

Crisp fall morning. The feeling of the first rays of sunshine striking your face as you stand alone in a field of sage brush.

Fall in the West. This time last year I witnessed this beautiful scene in Utah. Can’t beat it.

I struggle to find the passion I once had for editing my photography and sharing it. The world often seems too bleak to be posting a pretty picture. Recently though, I’ve felt a little more of that joy resurface. Here’s one recently that sucked me in and I’m really proud of. #aspens

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them. - Assata Shakur Pic of the day #photography

It ain't going away, no it ain't going away....

I’ve been holding onto this photo of a perfect Glacier reflection for years. Feels like a good palate cleanser as we have more and more lies shoved down our throats by this administration. If you have to redact your name from a doc, you’re in the doc. #trumpfuckskids #epsteinfiles

I spent the weekend in the mountains with limited cell service fully focused on finding all the summer wildflowers. Here are just a few to brighten your day.

A little flower action for your Friday. I was given these day lilies by my 91 year old grandma last year. We like to talk about the joy of gardening while lamenting the fall of democracy. It’s called balance.

Call me crazy, but my idea of making America great involves a lot fewer kidnappings and concentration camps.

Denver Pride parade yesterday. Good vibes all around. It feels good and necessary to be around people expressing joy and boy was there JOY. 🌈🌈🌈

With all the chaos and fear that is being unleashed on the American people, particularly in LA, it is hard to find joy or peace. I feel paralyzed most of the time by the news. If all I can provide is a peaceful photo once in a while that is what I will do. That and donate to ACLU ✌️#fuckfascism

Made my calls to Congress today. Truth be told, I’ve always called after hours due to anxiety about speaking with someone. I got through to an aide for two of my reps and spoke with them about the Budget Reconciliation Bill. Not nearly as scary to speak with someone as I thought it would be 🤗

I haven’t posted a photo in a while. Here’s an image from a hike in Utah last fall. It was a brutal climb up 2,700 feet of elevation but oh so worth it. #lakeBlanche #hikingtherapy

He thinks revenge is leadership and trolling is governance. Stop the #MadKing

HAPPENING NOW!!

I’m looking forward to tuning in to the Meidas Governor Townhall tonight to hear from IL Governor JB Pritzker (my home state!) and others. I want to hear how these Democrats are standing up for us and a game plan going forward. @meidastouch.com @govpritzker.illinois.gov youtube.com/live/J-0ecbB...

Not a lot to say today. Just recharging before the week ahead with some throwback Disney movies and gardening. How’s your Sunday? 📍Somewhere over the Wasatch Mountains

Im with Judge Hannah Dugan

Hi, you're in my well-vetted Pack 39 attached above if you CLICK on this message. Please follow all and repost. 👊🔥👍 @inthebardo.bsky.social @ewaavaeva.bsky.social @bec2222.bsky.social @stillcrazy10.bsky.social @mrstinky.bsky.social @crackedpots.bsky.social @bluebird11.bsky.social

Taking a break from reading about our constitutional crisis to let the healing of nature calm me down. Because WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?! Arresting judges now??? #nokingshere

Hi, I'm God. Human beings should not be thrown into prisons without due process. Even Jesus got a hearing.

30,000 feet. I have spent the last 5 years flying over some beautiful places. Recently, I took on a new position for work and my weekly views have changed to my backyard watching my pups run around and I can confidently say I have no complaints.

Ready for some summer activities. April is always such a tease in the Rockies. This view will be covered in feet of snow for at least a few more weeks.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Beautiful day to make some good trouble. #denver #50501

I can’t do any more news today. 🤬 Here’s a palm tree palate cleanser. I know it doesn’t do much but I for one need a moment to breathe before digging back in.

Take a moment to pause & breathe today. 📍White Sands National Park, NM #protectourparks #publiclandowner

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

Absolutely incredible to have been able to hear these two in real life. Even more incredible to see my people in CO turn out. 💙💙💙

30,000+ in Denver showed up to see Bernie & AOC. Powerful words were shared with a crowd of people looking for change and hope. We were in the overflow area and couldn’t see the stage but were blessed with a quick glimpse of these two revolutionaries. #fucktrump #fuckelon #fucktheoligarchy

Wish I was here… 📍Delicate Arch, Arches National Park #protectourparks #naturalwonders

This is disgusting. 🤬 The full article is in this thread as well.

I waited years to visit this spot in the Rockies. It’s tough to get permits due to limited availability and honestly I figured it was overhyped. I stand corrected as it completely exceeded my expectations. It is a Colorado icon for a reason. 📍Hanging Lake, CO - 2023

Waterfall Wednesday. 📍Upper Snoqualmie River, WA #dailydoseofpeace #waterfall

I am itching for summer shenanigans.

I took a walk down memory lane this morning scrolling through photos to set myself up for a nice calm morning. Instead I became viscerally angry again at all that this administration seeks to take away from us. Not surprisingly, our public spaces are their latest victim through layoffs. #fucktrump
