Goal for August: write one letter every day against the fascist regime.

8/1: a letter to the Secretary of the Smithsonian for allowing removal of “twice impeached” from an exhibit about impeachments.
8/2: a letter to my Dem Senators to express my outrage that they are still refusing to block $$ to Israel.

We're still working to shake people and organisations free from the hold Big Tech has imposed on them.

We don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

If you want to help us, start simple. Share word of the open social web with the people around you!

Together, we can rethink social media.

One lightning bug
lands on
my typing hand.
Is there anything
more hopeful
than saving
one stray firefly?

Yes,
but none
so emblematic,
so necessary
so gently futile.

In my palm
we walk outside,
lighting the dark
with one more
speck
of hope.

Gather together
what is your dear
and true
center of gravity
and
for the next
20 years
live it.
Then
and only then
may you
surrender.

A discovery as I mashup two books in my reading of Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature and In Search of the Canary Tree: hope! Here is what I found: I might look for hope in a graveyard, but I will not be coroner to an extinction event. I will do something about it every day. #smallactions

Reading 2 books: Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature (Linda Lear) and In Search of the Canary Tree (Lauren Oakes). One quote unites them and marks much of my own work now as I age into my final decades, "Looking for hope in a graveyard." Potter is dead, but her spirit speaks on. The canary tree is dying, a victim of global warming, yet Oakes is...hopeful. All of us are seeking beyond the doom loops predicted for the future rocketing toward us. Let us rummage the graves for help. #smallactions

@dogtrax There was a time you would be consulting a shaman about this. I will be a fake shaman for you: the hawk was celebrating you both. A line of flight, perhaps a feathered line across the page. Saying in the slipstream: this is who I am but who are you?
