I hate peddling my own wares but I'm a stubborn fool who decided to make my career in the arts because I probably wasn't good for much else. Unfortunately, this makes wares-peddling kind of unavoidable. So, if you like abandoned places, I have signed copies of my first book, "Abandoned America: The Age of Consequences" on sale with a free 5x7 print. There are 30-odd chapters of photos of some of my favorite abandoned places in it, so, idk, if that's your thing here you go

I need your help…

NPR is leaving Twitter but they are planning to focus on Instagram

We need to tell them to join the Fediverse

Many of their journalists’ accounts, as well as their main account, haven’t been active on mastodon. Tell them how much we need them here. (In fact, they should have their own instance)

Use the link, tell NPR we are waiting for them here and spread the word far and wide:

Louisiana embarrassment Steve Scalise continues to suck up to Big Oil, this week announcing he is YET AGAIN proposing to remove regulations from fossil fuel companies. Then in the same breath he trumpets support of coastal restoration and flood risk reduction work, blissfully—or perhaps willingly— ignorant much of the climate crisis is a result of our addiction to fossil fuels!

News flash: If you criminalize providing gender affirming care for trans youth, you're not the party of "limited government." You're the party of social control. And cruelty.

JOHN ROBERTS: The racist attacks on Tim Scott are despicable. And it's solely because he'a a conservative.

*awkward pause*

GILLIAN TURNER: And because people are racist.

"Trouble usually begins in the crowd, not on the floats. While the party may occur on the parade route, officers should pay attention to the Neutral Ground side of the crowd that's often where the trouble starts."

This violin was in the car stolen from singer Debbie Davis in New Orleans. Boosting the signal - hoping that it will be recovered. Thanks ❤ This is a photo of the violin before it was worked on. It now has new strings and pegs and it’s cleaned up in full playing condition. The case is hard brown leather and has inscription A2 painted on the bottom of the case in white paint. Please be on the lookout in New Orleans area. #NOLA @noladon #violin #fiddle

Research from Europe has shown large #solar farms can enhance the diversity and abundance of plants, grasses, #butterflies, #bees and #birds.

What’s more, vegetation between solar panel rows can also provide travel corridors, nesting sites and shelter for #wildlife. Management strategies are key to maximizing these benefits of solar farms.
