may I, too, be a small light amidst the gloom.

Emily Dickinson’s Herbarium: A Beautiful Digital Edition of the Poet’s Pressed Plants & Flowers Is Now Online

So many writers have been gardeners and have written about gardens that it might be easier to make a list of those who didn’t. But even in this crowded company, Emily Dickinson stands out.

Saw a coyote on today's walk, but wasn't able to get a photo. Super cool experience though. Also some pretty #moss, and #lichen.

Stay kind, humans.

Last photo is of Summer when my alarm went off and I told her we had to head for the car. More adventuring tomorrow I hope.

Brutal.

Catholic hospitals can also deny pregnant people necessary health care for the same BS religious reasons.

Friend of mine had a late stage miscarriage and they made her wait two days rather give her a D&E.

The fetus was already long dead and likely already passed but because of religion, they made her suffer two days.

Religion should not be allowed into our healthcare anymore than they should be allowed into our schools. Get them out of both.

An Alberta man wanted MAID. Instead, he died in a Catholic hospital, waiting to be transferred | CBC

William Hume knew he was dying and wanted medical assistance in dying (MAID). But when he ended up in a hospital run by a Catholic health-care provider, his last wishes weren't able to happen. He would die while waiting to transfer so he could receive MAID.
