FFS. This is rapidly turning into a disaster for #Arizona.
Alright #Arizona. Get this done!
Hey GusIn other news, I had no idea browns ranch was an actual place. I just assumed it was similar to cholla mountain, or whatever. Anyway this trail is really easy and you get to see *a lot* of iconic Sonoran desert flora, and fauna if you’re lucky. If you live on the area I highly suggest it.

It’s actually pretty neat. There’s a bunch of signs giving historical info about ranch operations, which were active up until the mid 1950s (what!)
The cattlemen would drive cattle down from there through Scottsdale, before the roads were paved all the way down to the stock yard in Phoenix.
I’m not really into cowboys and larping as a cowboy, but the actual ranchers and stuff we’re living pretty neat (destructive, too) lives. Okay not the ranchers as in the white land owners but the ranch hands who ran the ranches. Which here was mostly Mexicans, and still to this day is.
Another cool fact: the seal of the city of Scottsdale features a man riding a bucking bronco. The man is a Mexican vaquero that was one of those legendary people who drank and smoke every day and loved to be 104.
Hey all. Happy #FinalFour! Go #Arizona!!!
2tout2rien🐜💎 En Arizona, certains pyropes sont surnommés “ant hill garnets” : non pas parce que les fourmis ont ouvert une société minière, mais parce qu’en creusant leurs galeries elles ramènent parfois ces petits grenats à la surface, où ils peuvent ensuite être récoltés autour des fourmilières.
Le résultat est délicieux : un caillou rouge profond, presque couleur braise, mis au jour par des ouvrières de quelques millimètres. La géologie fait le gros du travail pendant des millions d’années… puis les fourmis donnent le petit coup de pelle final. 😄

AZ Advocacy HubEvery week the hub rounds up what's happening in Arizona organizing so you don't have to dig for it. If that saves you time and keeps you connected, consider throwing a few dollars in. It goes a long way!
Jackson MostollerFYI, there’s just a couple days left in Phoenix’s SRP election! This is what the 10 million Turning Point USA signs plastered all over the valley are about.
Those signs tell you which candidates are fascist dirtbags who want to kill your neighbors for data center money, but who should you vote *for*?
Behold! The janky low-funding website of the clean energy folks who need your votes!

(PS!! It’s too late to mail in your ballot because post-marking doesn’t count anymore, so you’ll have to drop it off or vote in person!)

RachelOne last photo from Arizona at night. I think this might be one of my favorites from the set because in the lower right, it looks like I might have caught a shooting star.
