“Death blowing bubbles,” 18th century. The bubbles symbolize life's fragility. This plaster work appears on the ceiling of Holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. After the monastery’s dissolution in 1803, the buildings were used as the city's hospital.

TIL that as the CO river dries up, AZ is leasing its largest underground aquifer to the Saudis, who are growing water-intensive alfalfa, which is then shipped back to S.A. to feed cattle. Market rate for the lease is $5 million/yr. Saudis pay $86K.

Saudi firm has pumped Arizona groundwater for years without paying. Time to pony up
Opinion: The State Land Department unlawfully allowed Fondomonte to pump unlimited amounts of groundwater at no cost. That must stop.

SCOTUS and Congress, as well as State and County legislations saying American Indians, Alaska Natives cannot wear regalia and sometimes even how our hair is worn. Grateful Samantha Maltais stood her ground and won.

Side note: The SCOTUS hearing did not go well. A lot of racism shown by SCOTUS using anti-Native stereotropes. If ICWA is overturned, many believe so is sovereignty and political strength in defending Indian Country. Battling big oil and SCOTUS now is, .. strenuous. We're not people we're fauna, animals, and USA is the bad faith guardian of the conservatorship by treaties and executive orders.

One of my favorite book quotes:

“He who is certain he knows the ending of things when he is only beginning them is either extremely wise or extremely foolish; no matter which is true, he is certainly an unhappy man, for he has put a knife in the heart of wonder.”
― Tad Williams, The Dragonbone Chair

Anyone else think the reason Rudy Giuliani isn't being charged is because something bigger in charges is coming for him?

Twitter is degrading quickly. Unless Congress acts quickly, welp.

I am sad. So many connections and people turning in bad actors receipts gone in an instant by the worst wealthy guy ever. No clue. But Twitter is not verification Twitter, and Musk is lying it is. 🙄

Don't like politics or football? That's cool, but that's not going to stop people from talking about it here.

Lucky for you, there are Filters for that. Hop into your preferences and use them to weed out anything that harshes your mellow.
