Grasping joy when it passes through my life! There is more love than evil in the universe. I have faith. Saranac Lake NY Ice Palace 2026.

If you're in New York, please take two minutes right now to call Governor Hochul and tell her to support and sign New York 4 All, which would prevent state and local agencies from collaborating with ICE. 518-474-8390. This is important.

A moments relief from all the politics. Here is a morning view from my garage in Lake Placid, New York, winter wonderland.

It’s time to explode the secrets and the lies. This is very big. This is our culture.

Happy #Caturday from underneath my one eyed black cat. I was going to take a nap, but I forgot I had an espresso about an hour ago so I’m just lying here. I’m not thinking about Trump. I’m not thinking about Gaza. I’m not. I’m reserving space for myself.

No Kings in Williston Vermont.

Dawn at John Brown’s Farm, Lake Placid, New York, September 28, 2025. We must continue to fight.

Happy #Caturday round two after tea with a friend at a very fancy hotel.

Happy #Caturday. They had just spent 20 minutes arguing up for who got to lie on top of me. When they finally settled down, I realized I had to go to the bathroom.

Believe the women.

The Trump administration canceled the Secret Service protection for Vice President Kamala Harris. Why would they do such a reckless thing? Republicans are psychotically consumed by revenge. These extremists are unfit to govern and dangerous to the American way of life.

This made me weep with hope and despair.

Good point.

Splendid! #ShareGreatNotHate

While John Singer Sargent, born on this day in 1856, is best known for stunning society portraits, he had a much broader range, as in the watercolors he made as a war artist in WWI like this image of harvesters seemingly oblivious to the crashed warplane behind them www.iwm.org.uk/collections/...

I ❤️ absurdity.

No matter what happens on this earth, in this flawed and painful, limited life filled with love, grief, joy, agony, hope and despair...our souls will be free beyond and evermore. #peace #justice Alice Neel, Self-portrait, 1980

Good point!

On the ferry to Vermont, visiting a friend, doing something nice for myself. Peace and justice need emotional feeding. ❤️

Another bit of brilliance and a hashtag new to me: #ShareGreatNotHate

Brilliant! #peace #justice #blacklivesmatter www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS9B...

I am inclined to agree based on what I've seen.

Well said, @sarahwood.bsky.social

My fear of the impacts of the incoming administration's evil actions grows every day. I feel powerless but then I remember my job helping felons, my life's work, my son. Good is done one footstep, one word at a time. Justice will prevail. #peace #justice #blacklivesmatter

Representative Raskin is someone to watch. He took time to come visit my extremely rural area in the north country of New York this summer and I was totally electrified by him.

A little sweet absurdity to lighten the mood. (But still, #peace #justice #blacklivesmatter) youtube.com/shorts/LTuJV...

Today is the 6th day of #Kwanzaa and the principle is Kuumba (Creativity) -- "To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it." #peace #justice #blacklivesmatter www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org/kuumba.html

Good morning. I am sharing a public service announcement video that I produced as a volunteer for the North Country Regional Council of the New York State Division of Human Rights Hate and Bias Prevention Unit. There is no room for hate in New York State. #nohate #peace #justice

The moon is new and that means all sorts of things are afoot.
