What a time to be alive.
Grateful to say these words and hopeful that our better angels will help restore the soul and promise of this great nation.
2021 is finally here, let's go!

May this solstice bring back the light, not just in the skies. But metaphorically into our lives. May the return of the sun herald a better time, less stress, less death, less grift in high places.
May we all remember that we live on a ball of rock, at the bottom of a thin shell of atmosphere.
Where the health of you and yours depends on six inches of top soil. Where this ball is covered mostly with water, and only the smallest amount is drinkable.
Let it rain in California...
Has anyone else watched the documentary "The Social Dilemma" on Netflix? https://www.thesocialdilemma.com
I hope we can take back control of these platforms before they destroy civilization.
@BlueStateBabe 2020 is the year of clear sight....Positive energy to you!
@th3j35t3r Totally get it, my maverick friend. Here's a longer version written by someone else.

Happy Summer everyone!
So much harder to spot UFOs with all these frisky fireflies streaking around the night sky. 👽 🤣
@Beanc Amazing artists!
(Glad some are NOT real as they make my knees shake!)
@CherNohio Wonder if they look like this vandal caught on video breaking AutoZone's windows in Minneapolis before all hell broke loose?

^^ FUNFACT The quote "When the looting starts, the shooting starts" originated by a racist white Miami police chief named Walter Headley who targeted black people in 1967 ahead of the Republican convention.
Trump used the same line tonight to threaten to shoot his own citizens.
@corlin This intuitively makes more sense to me.
@BlueStateBabe I hadn't clicked on it, but yeah, TOTALLY spot on!!
😂
I started reading Jon Meacham's book "The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels." Learning a LOT & absolutely recommend to anyone struggling to make sense of our current chaos. History IS repeating itself. We are in the 1930's. Wealth hoarding, rise of nationalism/klan, collapsed economy..
As Americans we've found our better angels before & must rise to do so again.

@BlueStateBabe I understand where you are coming from and swing back and forth on that issue. Then I am reminded that the plight of marginalized people matter far more than property or corporate losses.
@th3j35t3r THIS is awesome! Solving the RNA riddle is the only real solution to this situation. I've been folding RNA in a crowd-sourced science game-www.eteRNAgame.org that works in conjunction with Stanford University.🔬
@WeThePeople
Because caravans just don't evoke panic like they once did.
@th3j35t3r Good god. 🤬
@ecksmc What a gorgeous creature and interesting bit of science...thanks!
@Siren_six Be careful, especially if you have a garage or basement - the job could last longer than your anger. ;)
